Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require aggressive emission reductions and large-scale CO₂ removal from the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) can neutralize hard-to-abate residual emissions and even draw down atmospheric CO₂ to reverse a temperature overshoot. However, deploying CDR at…

In this thesis, we focus on novel proteins/mechanisms that regulate integrin-adhesion mediated mechano-transduction.

In meta-analysis, heterogeneity often exists between studies. In such cases, it is essential to investigate the sources of heterogeneity and understand the relationship between effect size and study characteristics (i.e., moderators).

De integratie van technologie in scholen wordt gezien als cruciaal voor het bereiken van digitale gelijkheid in het onderwijs, evenals voor schoolverbetering, en de kwaliteit van onderwijs en leren. We zien echter nog steeds onvoldoende of ineffectief gebruik van technologie in lesgeven en leren.

‘Legitimacy and Justice’ is een onderzoekscluster binnen het programma ‘Institutions, Decisions and Collective Behaviour’. De wetenschappers die hierin actief zijn houden zich bezig met de legitimiteit en rechtvaardigheid van politieke instituties. Zij kijken in het bijzonder naar de relaties tussen…

Natural history collections provide invaluable sources for researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds, aspiring to study the geographical distribution of flora and fauna across the globe as well as other evolutionary processes.

In wetenschappelijk onderzoek worden iedere dag enorme hoeveelheden data geproduceerd. Die zouden we nog veel meer kunnen benutten dan we op dit moment doen, zegt Katy Wolstencroft, assistent-professor in (bio)informatica. Maar dan moeten we de data wel beter beheren en integreren.
