Ashleigh's research interests are in microbial pathogenicity, particularly in the regulation and expression of virulence factors. Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 are important food-borne pathogens which colonise ruminants as commensals. Disease outbreaks are commonly associated with the consumption of contaminated meat or via direct contact, however a significant number have been attributed to the consumption of fresh produce (such as spinach, lettuce and radishes). During Ashleigh's PhD, she was interested in how type III secretion system effectors, particularly non-LEE encoded effectors
This project develops a range of advanced laboratory-based systems to investigate how production- and welfare-limiting diseases of Scottish livestock establish infections in their hosts. Our work is underpining the development of novel vaccines and diagnostic tests by identifying the animal's response to disease and it’s initiation of protection as well as providing new methods for pathogen isolation and identification.
The project is mitigating threats posed to key crops by new, emerging and endemic pests and pathogens, to protect Scotland’s industries and delivering integrated and sustainable crop protection strategies for Scottish growers.
We all know that eating fish is good for health. Fish represents a great source of lean protein, unique omega- 3 fatty acids and bioavailable micronutrients which are often lacking in plant-based diets. In addition, fish offers an alternative animal-based product with a lower environmental footprint. One of the main health benefits of eating fish is that it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Many countries have therefore drawn up dietary recommendations for seafood consumption as part of their national dietary guidelines; similar to the UK’s five portions of fruit and
Consider using lists in your title People are instantly drawn to numbers. It’s a fact. Using a list provides the reader with organisation, the opportunity to digest the information quickly and skim read. You should definitely try to use odd numbers too – they stand out even more. I mean, does it not sit uncomfortable with you when the volume on your TV or radio is sitting on an odd number and you must change it to an even number…? It’s because people prefer even numbers so an odd number stands out more. Stick to the odd ones. Psychology, meet marketing. Marketing, meet psychology. Try to tell
Getting started: Well, where do you start when considering how to engage with your audience? Especially when you may have multiple audiences (e.g., researchers and policy makers) who each have different interests, values and needs. Recognising these issues is the first key step, as being mindful of your audience is undoubtedly one of the factors that will influence the success of a project. A good tip is to get to know your audience; find out what they’re interested in, what they’d like to know, what is it for them etc. and then consider how that fits with what you want to tell them and what
SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide funding for a new Fellowship with the Cairngorms National Park Authority. SEFARI Fellowships are bespoke, responsive opportunities aiming to develop a shared understanding between researchers and stakeholders, and to prioritise areas for common effort that can be supported by research knowledge and expertise. This interdisciplinary opportunity is aimed at an individual or team, and requires the review of a diverse range of projects across the fields of health, active travel, community empowerment, net zero transition, land management and behaviour change
