This duoethnography, informed by the new materialist turn, explores how educational work is materially reconfigured within university-community collaborations. Through our co-facilitation of two community-based Master of Education programs we, as White settlers, endeavoured to journey with Indigenous colleagues, community members, and students to respond to calls for transformative reconciliation. It is within these complex relational fields that we explore the shifting nature of our work as educators within a Canadian university. When educational work resides within community, it becomes a living relationship among people and place, requiring a new type of faculty expertise that disrupts the usual boundaries between disciplinary knowledge and the academic triad, and exceeds professional responsibilities. Through our MEd programs, we are coming to understand our work as educators as always a collaborative act in the making, and as a form of scholarly activism.

Development of translationally active cell lysates from different filamentous fungi for application in cell-free protein synthesis.

Enzyme Microb Technol

January 2025

Institute of Biotechnology, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, Universitätsplatz 1, Senftenberg 01968, Germany. Electronic address:

There is an enormous potential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems based on filamentous fungi in view of their simple, fast and mostly inexpensive cultivation with high biomass space-time yields and in view of their catalytic capacity. In 12 of the 22 different filamentous fungi examined, in vitro translation of at least one of the two reporter proteins GFP and firefly luciferase was detected. The lysates showing translation of a reporter protein usually were able to synthesize a functional cell-free expressed unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the basidiomycete Cyclocybe (Agrocybe) aegerita.

Dealing with radioactive waste, particularly from various industrial processes, poses significant challenges. This paper explores the use of lithium aluminate borate (Li-Al-B) glass matrix as an alternative method for immobilizing radioactive waste, focusing specifically on waste generated in tin smelting industries, known as tin slag. The study primarily concentrates on transforming tin slag, a byproduct abundant in Natural Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM), into a stable and safe form for disposal.

This study combines experimental techniques and mathematical modeling to investigate the dynamics of C. elegans body-wall muscle cells. Specifically, by conducting voltage clamp and mutant experiments, we identify key ion channels, particularly the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (EGL-19) and potassium channels (SHK-1, SLO-2), which are crucial for generating action potentials.

Physiotherapists are critically positioned to integrate education into patient care, including pain science education (PSE) to enhance management and outcomes. Anecdotally, many physiotherapists report difficulty providing PSE in private practice settings. Here, we aimed to explore current PSE use, knowledge, and barriers to implementation.
