- Cell Cycle: Micromanaging checkpoint proteinsCiliberto, Andrea; Hauf, Silke (2017-02-16)The kinase Mps1, long known to be the ‘boss’ in mitotic checkpoint signaling, phosphorylates multiple proteins in the checkpoint signaling cascade.
- Geohealth Policy Benefits Are Mediated by Interacting Natural, Engineered, and Social ProcessesCalder, Ryan S. D.; Schartup, Amina T. (American Geophysical Union, 2023-08-29)Interest in health implications of Earth science research has significantly increased. Articles frequently dispense policy advice, for example, to reduce human contaminant exposures. Recommendations such as fish consumption advisories rarely reflect causal reasoning around tradeoffs or anticipate how scientific information will be received and processed by the media or vulnerable communities. Health is the product of interacting social and physical processes, yet predictable responses are often overlooked. Analysis of physical and social mechanisms, and health and non-health tradeoffs, is needed to achieve policy benefits rather than “policy impact.” Dedicated funding mechanisms would improve the quality and availability of these analyses.
