Public Engagement with Climate Change Imagery in a Changing Digital Landscape
There are several striking and problematic features of typical climate imagery from the perspective of engaging with wider audiences. Most notably, there is an absence of human stories – those that show ordinary and relatable humans engaging with the issue of climate change.
Dynamic Conformation Control
Prof. Lei Fang reviews how co-planar conformation in π-conjugated systems can be locked by using dynamic noncovalent bonds.
Cancer Metastasis Put Under the Microscope
The process of metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate to distant organs from the primary tumor region, is the key pathological event responsible for 90% of all of the cancer-related deaths. The critical early steps of the metastatic cascade of events, namely...
