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:The Private Sector and Global Nutrition: Are Businesses Heroes or Villains?
DESCRIPTION:Alumni Lecture \nProfessor Lawrence Haddad\, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition \nThe University of Reading is proud to announce that the next event in the inspirational Alumni Lecture Series will feature alumnus Professor Lawrence Haddad (BSc Food Science and Food Education\, 1980). \nLawrence is a British economist who has forged an influential career in food\, agriculture and nutrition. He is currently Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). In 2018 Lawrence was co-recipient of the prestigious World Food Prize for “extraordinary intellectual and policy leadership in bringing maternal and child nutrition to the forefront of the global food security agenda and thereby significantly reducing childhood stunting”. \nOne in three people globally are malnourished. If we keep doing what we are doing\, we will fall far short of the global goals the world has set for 2030. How to change the dynamic? One glaring gap is the public sector’s failure to engage the private sector properly to help advance nutrition. Most people buy their food\, even in poorer countries\, and in doing so they are engaging the private sector. So ignoring businesses is not an option. But engaging them sensibly is also not easy. Which companies\, in which circumstances\, and for which population groups? How do maximise positives and avoid negatives? Businesses are part of the problem of malnutrition\, but also have to be a bigger part of the solution. This talk outlines some of the ways to stimulate this transition of the private sector from sometime villains to frequent heroes.

SUMMARY:Women in Sport: Overcoming and Succeeding
DESCRIPTION:Edith Morley Lecture 2020 – guest panel discussion \nTo mark International Women’s Day\, we are delighted to present this annual event in memory of Edith Morley\, with a panel discussion bringing together female innovators and game-changers from the sporting world. Historically\, sports have been a male dominated arena with very low numbers of women involved. Today\, the number of female athletes are rising significantly\, yet\, women’s sports are highly underrepresented in the media\, and female athletes earn considerably less than their male counterparts. \nA guest panel will cover a wide range of topics including how these remarkable sportswomen have overcome barriers and gone onto achieve great success in their fields. The panel includes Fara Williams\, Reading FC Women and England player\, Kelly Chambers\, Director of Women’s and Girls Football\, Reading FC Women\, Cath Bishop\, Olympic Rower\, and Alice Kirkup\, Captain of the University of Reading’s netball first team. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable. Please click here for more information and to book

SUMMARY:Stories of Ageing / New Discoveries from the Cole Library
DESCRIPTION:Collections Research Network: Stories of Ageing / New Discoveries from the Cole Library \n \nA book collector and bibliophile from his schooldays until his death\, Francis Joseph Cole (1872-1959) amassed a huge library of around 8000 volumes of books and scientific papers\, from earliest times to the present day. As Professor of Zoology at the University of Reading\, Cole founded the Cole Museum of Zoology and used his magnificent library of works on the history of early medicine\, zoology\, comparative anatomy and reproductive physiology for teaching and research. \nThree hundred significant titles have now been made available for the first time\, thanks to funding for cataloguing from the Collections Project. These include works by Hunter\, Perrault and Severino and can be viewed in a pop-up exhibition at Special Collections\, on Wednesday 4 March\, 2-4 pm. \nWe will be joined by Andrew Mangham and Kate Mattacks to tell us about their Stories of Ageing: Patient Experience and Patient Care project\, with a talk and a workshop.
