- While working in industry may limit intellectual freedom, it provides greater opportunities for contributing to products that benefit human and environmental health.
Article Abstract
This essay provides insight into the daily life of a scientist in biotechnology, drawing on experience gained from working in companies ranging in size from four to more than 80,000 employees. The basic scientific training in molecular biology required for the work is similar between academia and industry, but the way in which these skills are applied differs. Biologists in industry settings work as part of large, multidisciplinary teams. This requires relinquishing the degree of intellectual freedom allowed in academia but offers an increased opportunity to see the fruits of one's labor translate into products with the potential to positively impact human or environmental health.

Low-temperature catalytic oxidation of ethanol over doped nickel phosphates.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
January 2025
Laboratory of Coordination and Analytical Chemistry (LCCA), Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Chouaïb Doukkali University, Ben Maachou Road, B.P: 20, 24000, El Jadida, Morocco.
This work is focused on the synthesis and performance of Ni(PO)-based catalysts doped with Cu, Co, Mn, Ce, Zr, and Mg for the complete oxidation of ethanol, aiming at reducing emissions from ethanol-blended gasoline. Nickel phosphate was prepared via the co-precipitation method, followed by impregnation with the specified dopants. The catalysts were thoroughly characterized by XRD, N-physisorption, XRF, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, NH-TPD, CO-TPD, and H-TPR to explain their performance.

Objective: To describe patterns of social media use, including underage (under 13 years) use and sex differences, in a diverse, national sample of early adolescents in the U.S.
Methods: We analyzed the social media use data in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (2019-2021, Year 3), which includes a national sample of early adolescents in the U.
What's been tried: a curated catalogue of efforts to improve access to general practice.
BJGP Open
January 2025
The Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Background: Although increasing numbers of appointments are being provided, public satisfaction with access to UK general practice is declining. Previous attempts to improve access have not been systematically collated.
Aim: We aimed to identify interventions to improve access to general practice in the UK, to organise these interventions into thematic categories, and to identify which aspects of access are targeted.
Where is menstruation in global health policy? The need for a collective understanding.
Glob Public Health
December 2025
Department of Social and Policy Science, University of Bath, Bath, UK.
From both an academic and a policy angle, menstruation is receiving an unprecedented level of attention. Within the academic literature, there are many different normative arguments being furthered for how menstruation be understood and framed - variously, that it should be understood as an issue of rights, justice, health or hygiene management. Yet less attention has been paid to the step preceding these normative arguments - how menstruation actually understood at present within global health policy.

Background: There is a robust body of work demonstrating that certain drinking practices, such as pregaming or playing drinking games, are linked to heavier, riskier patterns of drinking among college students. However, less attention has been paid to other drinking practices that are relatively common among undergraduates, such as daytime drinking (i.e.
