SUMMARY:Spring Online Alumni Lecture Series: COVID – Stories from the Frontline – Culture Shock: How COVID has changed the arts
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has caused havoc and upheaval in ways no-one could have foreseen. In our spring online Alumni Lecture Series\, we welcome University of Reading graduates from diverse backgrounds and industries to share their experiences and expertise on how the global pandemic has changed their sectors. \nThe global pandemic has had a devastating impact on the cultural sector – both in the UK and around the world. Diverse activities from live performances and theatre productions to exhibitions and galleries\, have seen revenue fall dramatically as venues have closed their doors and gatherings have been limited by lockdowns and social distancing. \nUniversity of Reading Vice-Chancellor\, Professor Robert Van de Noort wil be joined by successful music agent and executive\, Reading graduate Emma Banks (BSc Food Science\, 1989)\, who will share her experiences of how COVID-19 has impacted the music industry. This online discussion will provide an insight into what Emma thinks the short and long-term consequences are for the industry and what lessons she’s learnt from the pandemic. \nEmma works for Creative Artists Agency (CAA) – a leading entertainment and sports agency – where she represents many of the world’s leading musicians\, including Katy Perry\, Muse\, Arcade Fire\, Red Hot Chili Peppers\, Florence + The Machine\, and Kylie Minogue. \nAttendance free\, but booking essential.

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture: Living with More than One Language - The Effects of Bilingualism on Mind and Brain
DESCRIPTION:Dr Toms Voits\, UiT The Arctic University of Norway \nLanguage is frequently in the headlines\, from worries about people speaking too many languages or too few\, to questions of whether bilingualism protects against cognitive decline in later life. Bilingualism has featured prominently in language debates\, with stories often over-simplifying a more complex picture. \nJoin former Reading doctoral researcher Toms Voits on a journey through the uniqueness and complexity of the human brain’s capacity for language. This public lecture will introduce the ways in which two or more languages co-habit within a single mind\, how processing allows languages to compete and co-operate\, and the much-debated effects of bilingualism on mind and brain. With a focus on research on bilingualism in older adults\, the lecture will examine some of the complexities that need to be unpicked in order to understand relationships between ageing\, cognitive health and language. \n*Due to current restrictions\, this year’s Fairbrother Lecture will be delivered as a pre-recorded film that can be viewed online at any time after its release on Tuesday 11 May. \nTo sign up to receive the link to view the lecture recording please visit the Events page. \nFor further information contact Dr Joanna John. \nFor information on Fairbrother Lectures in other years see previous events.

SUMMARY:CINNergies Reading Club - Philosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?
DESCRIPTION:CINNergies Reading Club\nPhilosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?\n\n\n7th May 2021: 0900-1200 BST \nCINNergies are hosting a reading club and debate on the “Brain-Cognitive behaviour problem”. This debate is set to get to the heart of the challenges and potential benefits of interdisciplinary research. \nAccording to nature research: “Cognitive neuroscience is the field of study focusing on the neural substrates of mental processes. It is at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience\, but also overlaps with physiological psychology\, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. It combines the theories of cognitive psychology and computational modelling with experimental data about the brain.” \nBut can this scientific field successfully navigate the complex interdisciplinarity of the issues it is set out to investigate? \nSign up here and see below to access some of the resources we’ll be discussing. \n\n\n\n\nArticles to read\nPodcasts to listen to\nWebinars to watch\n\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki\nThe Brain–Cognitive Behavior Problem: A Retrospective\n\n\nRuss Poldrack\nCognitive Ontologies\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nRuss Poldrak\nThe measurement crisis in cognitive neuroscience\n(Reading Emotions 2020)\n\n\n\n\nDavid Poeppel and Federico Adolfi\nAgainst the Epistemological Primacy of the Hardware: The Brain from Inside Out\, Turned Upside Down\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki and David Poeppel\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nAnastasia Christakou\nFrom molecules to mind\n\n\n\n\nShimon Marom\nDialogue Across Chasm: Are Psychology and Neurophysiology Incompatible?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINNergies\, part of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN)\, is a creative and diverse community of early career researchers who share an openness for and motivation to engage in interdisciplinary research.

SUMMARY:CINN neuromethods: The role of isothiocyanates in health & food preference
DESCRIPTION:The role of isothiocyanates in health & food preference\, Luke Bell (Lecturer in Temperate Horticulture at the School of Agriculture\, Policy & Development\, University of Reading) \nIsothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by plants of the Brassicales order and are commonly found in our diets. High concentrations are produced by crops like broccoli\, mustard\, rocket\, and watercress and have been linked with anti-cancer effects. There has also been research conducted to determine their effects on neurological health and prevention of disease\, but only a few compounds have been tested to-date. Some ITCs are also noted for their pungent aromas and flavours and can impact liking and food preferences. They can also induce pain receptors in high concentrations. This has been attributed to taste receptor genotype sensitivity\, but recent evidence suggests exposure to ITCs in the diet over time is a stronger determinant of liking. I will present some of my research and ideas in these areas and see if there is any scope for developing collaborations with CINN. \n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting: CINN neuromethods Thursday 15-Apr-2021 3pm \n\n“neuromethods” is a weekly meeting held at CINN where we discuss published\, ongoing\, or planned research\, ranging from formal presentations to informal problem-solving over coffee. \nIf you would like to discuss your work or a research idea (however unbaked)\, if you would like to join us occasionally\, or would simply like to find out more\, please email cinn@reading.ac.uk. \nneuromethods sessions are listed in the CINN calendar\, which you can open in Outlook by searching for CINN.

SUMMARY:ECR Dragons' Den
DESCRIPTION:ECR Dragons’ Den – Monday 29th March 15.30-17.00 \nDo you have a really great idea for a collaborative project? Have you been planning to write a grant but don’t have the pilot data to support your idea? Here is your big chance!  \nThe ECR interdisciplinary group CINNergies\, and the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences Research Committee have each donated £2\,500 (that’s a total of £5\,000) to support ECR-led collaborative pilot projects. Just like the real Dragons’ Den\, our panel of “Dragons” will be sitting on piles of money (figuratively) and will choose to support the projects they feel have potential. \nProjects must be collaborative and interdisciplinary! So\, if there is a project that you’ve got your heart set on and you know of another ECR that you’ve been dying to work with… the time is now!! Spaces are limited so if you would like to apply\, please submit a 500 word summary of your project proposal here. Applications will close on the 15th March at 12pm. \nThose who are selected to go through to the next round will be required to give a short oral presentation at the event 15:30-17:00 on Monday 29th March. \nClick here to join the Dragons’ Den event

SUMMARY:Preventing A Clotting Catastrophe: The COVID Connection
DESCRIPTION:Preventing A Clotting Catastrophe: The COVID Connection\nProfessor Jon Gibbins\, Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research\nUniversity of Reading Public Lecture \nOur blood needs to clot quickly when we injure ourselves to keep us safe but blood clotting sometimes happens where it shouldn’t. If this is inside our veins and arteries\, a process known as thrombosis occurs. While thrombosis is best known as the trigger for heart attacks and strokes\, understanding unwanted clotting has become a major focus in 2020. Severe COVID-19 infection triggers clots to form in the lungs which are responsible for life-threatening impacts on lung function. \nIn this lecture we will explore what we have discovered about how and why clot formation occurs in this context\, and how we are using this knowledge to test the effects of existing medicines that could alleviate the most serious consequences of COVID-19 infection. \n

SUMMARY:School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences - Spring Term Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Please find below a list of events arranged by the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences in the Spring Term. All sessions will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. \nSessions: \nThursday 25 February at 1pm-2pm – ‘Effects of Age and Education on Language and Cognition’\, Alexandre Nikolaev and Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \n\nIn my presentation I will discuss effects that older age and education demonstrate across domains of language and cognition: whether these domains show a) different effects of age and education\, b) similar patterns of age-related change over time\, and c) whether education moderates the rate of decline in these domains. I will also discuss language decline related to abnormal ageing in people with Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment.\n\nThursday 4th March at 1pm-2pm – ‘Synthetic Datasets’\, Dan Quintana and Lily Fitzgibbon. Link to join \n\nDan Quintana from the University of Oslo will deliver his workshop on the creation of synthetic datasets for sharing the properties of a dataset while eliminating disclosure risk.\n\nThursday 11th March at 12pm-1pm – ‘Enhancing Diversity Training in Policing’\, Netta Weinstein\, Carien van Reekum. Link to join \n\nPrejudice continues to be a widespread problem in policing and other workplaces. In responding to this problem\, billions are spent to develop and deliver diversity training meant to reduce employees’ prejudice. However\, research findings\, including in policing\, show these attempts fail to produce meaningful change in attitudes and behaviour. This talk will describe the problem\, explore solutions based in motivation science\, and share the reasons for\, and challenges of\, testing these questions in real-world settings such as in police forces.\n\nThursday 11th March at 1pm-2pm – ‘Sex Differences in Interoceptive Abilities’\, Jenny Murphy\, Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \nThursday 18th March at 12pm-1pm\, ‘Developing an Open Research RRDP Course’\, Lily Fitzgibbon. Link to join \n\nIn this special session\, we will spend the hour working in small groups to draft a short course on Open Research to be delivered as an RRDP course for PhD students. Materials will also be available for those wishing to bring Open Research into their undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.\n\nThursday 25th March at 1pm-2pm\, ‘What’s the Point of Qualitative Research’\, Kate Harvey\, Christos Pliatsikas. Link to join \n\nI joined SPCLS nearly twenty years ago from a Health Services Research background\, where qualitative research is widely used and highly valued. I was surprised to be met with considerable scepticism about qualitative approaches\, and debate about whether they could even be considered “psychology”. Fast forward twenty years\, and I’ve collaborated with numerous colleagues who discovered their research question might be best addressed using qualitative methods. Today I’ll be presenting some of that research and illustrating how qualitative approaches can progress our understanding of complex issues from child and adolescent mental health to food poverty\, plus lots in between.

SUMMARY:Sport and COVID: What do we know?
DESCRIPTION:Sport and COVID: What do we know?\nUniversity of Reading Public Lecture by Professor James Reade (Economics) \nSport\, like most aspects of our lives\, has been heavily disrupted by Covid-19. Even as a vaccine begins to be rolled out\, sporting events are being cancelled\, rescheduled\, or adapted to fit Covid-19. Sport without fans has become normal\, yet before March 2020 less than 200 elite football matches had ever taken place without fans in the stadium. Removing all fans has affected sports clubs financially\, and arguably also on the field – a number of academic studies have shown that this affects outcomes\, especially for the visiting team. Sports events are mass events\, and before now scant attention has been paid to their potential public health risk. Yet how much did they contribute to the first wave? Have they contributed at all in the second one? \nIn this talk Professor James Reade\, Head of Department of Economics\, will review the evidence that has been accumulated over the last year.

SUMMARY:Addressing food system challenges: Making interdisciplinarity work
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health (IFNH) is holding their 3rd Annual Forum online on Tuesday 15 December at 14.00 – 17.00 (GMT). This year’s theme is the importance of interdisciplinary working to successfully address food system challenges. \nThe importance of sustainable and resilient food supply systems\, capable of responding to shocks and disruptions such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic\, is widely acknowledged. However\, food systems are complex with inter-relationships between agriculture\, the environment and consumers\, and require approaches that are holistic and interdisciplinary\, drawing upon natural\, social and physical sciences. The Annual Forum provides an opportunity to learn about the application of such approaches in practice in different parts of the world and draw on the experience of the IFNH in applying interdisciplinary approaches to systems-wide challenges. \nThe event hosts talks from a range of speakers from the University as well as key partners: Joanna Kane-Potaka\, Assistant Director General\, External Relations\, ICRISAT and Executive Director at Smart Food Initiative (ICRISAT) and Dr Adegbola Adesoga\, Professor of Animal Nutrition and Director of the Food Systems Institute at the University of Florida and a leader of USAID’s Feed the Future initiative. \nProfessor Ian Givens\, IFNH Director says: “The Forum highlights research from the University and our partners and how this connects with work done elsewhere. We are very pleased that in addition to University colleagues we will be joined by two external speakers who share a common vision but approach it from very different perspectives: the contrast between an animal-derived foods and a plant-based approach to reducing childhood stunting will prove interesting.” \nThe event is free to attend. For more information and to register your attendance please click here. Please register by Monday 7 December 2020.

SUMMARY:New Food Solutions for Cancer Patients - study participants needed
DESCRIPTION:Help researchers at the University of Reading evaluate food products specially designed for cancer patients who are experiencing taste and smell alterations and/or require\, or have required\, texture-modified foods as a result of their treatment. Your input will directly influence the design and development of new innovative food solutions for cancer patients. \nClose to 70% of cancer patients undergoing treatments experience side-effects (taste loss\, bad taste in mouth\, metallic taste\, saliva absence\, sores in mouth\, vomiting\, loss of appetite) that may have a large impact on their daily food intake. \nThe main aim of this study is to design and develop new innovative food solutions for cancer patients\, taking into account not only their nutritional requirements but also their sensory changes thereby promoting eating pleasure. \nWe are looking for: \n\nCancer patients who require/have required texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nHealthcare workers of adult cancer patients who require texture-modified foods to attend an online focus group session\nCancer patients experiencing taste & smell alterations to evaluate some food products at home over 2 weeks\,\nAll participants must be aged 18+ (patients 18-70)\n\n  \nYou will be remunerated for your time. \nThe study runs until 7 December 2020 \nFor more information or if you would like to sign up\, contact us at SensoryScienceCentre@reading.ac.uk \n
