  • When 'R' We Going to Get Back to High Fives, Hugging Strangers and Kissing
    Research and Information Service Briefing Note Paper No. 21/20 19 May 2020 NIAR 144-2020 Robert Barry When ‘R’ we going to get back to high fives, hugging strangers and kissing the Blarney Stone? Summary The UK Government and the devolved Governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have recently announced their plans for gradually lifting the lockdown restrictions that were introduced to bring the spread of the COVID-19 disease under control. These plans have been informed by the latest scientific advice and, in particular, the ‘all important’ R number. This briefing note describes the epidemiological concept ‘R’, and examines its usefulness and limitations as a compass for guiding us through the mists of this plague. Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 144-2020 Briefing Note 1 Introduction “The risk is that a complicated number is released without context into a world that doesn’t know how to think about it.” Ed Yong1 The ‘R number’ that most of us non-epidemiologists had never heard of before appears to be driving Government policies everywhere and determining how we lead our lives. Driven by the latest scientific advice and the latest estimates of R, the UK Government is following the example of many other countries and has begun the process of slowly relaxing lockdown restrictions in England. The devolved Governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are being a bit more cautious in terms of the timing, but have now published their lockdown exit plans. However, all this hinges on the ‘all important’ R number.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Science of Harry Potter How Magic Really Works by Roger Highfield the Science of Harry Potter Roger Highfield
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Science of Harry Potter How Magic Really Works by Roger Highfield The Science of Harry Potter Roger Highfield. Go behind the magic of Harry Potter as author Roger Highfield takes a witty and illuminating look at the scientific principles, theories and assumptions of the boy wizard's world. Can Fluffy the three-headed dog be explained by advances in molecular biology? Could the discovery of cosmic ‘gravity-shielding effects’ unlock the secret to the Nimbus 2000 broomstick's ability to fly? Is the griffin really none other than the dinosaur Protoceratops? Roger, author of The Science of Harry Potter: How Magic Really Works, explores the fascinating links between magic and science to reveal that much of what strikes us as supremely strange in the Potter books can actually be explained by the conjurings of the scientific mind. This is the perfect event for parents who want to teach their children science through their favourite adventures, as well as for adult fans of the series intrigued by its marvels and mysteries. This event is hosted live on Zoom Webinar and you’ll receive a link to join a couple of days before it takes place. During the event, you can ask questions via a Q&A function but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout. About the speaker. Roger Highfield is the Science Director at the Science Museum Group - which includes the National Railway Museum in York, a member of the UK's Medical Research Council and a Visiting Professor at the Dunn School, University of Oxford, and Department of Chemistry, UCL.
