Science Media Centre Briefing What? Fiona Fox Chief Executive Set up in 2002 after things went very wrong: - MMR & autism - GM crops - BSE AIMS Vision Policy decisions and public debate informed by accurate, evidence-based scientific information in the news media Mission To make it easier for journalists to access the best science when stories hit the headlines and to ensure that more scientists engage with the media when stories hit the headlines Values Reliable, fast, accurate, authoritative, independent, media savvy SMC Philosophy " We’ll get the media to ‘DO’ science better when scientists ‘DO’ media better " Engaging with the media If you don’t speak to the media, then someone else will The 2014 BIS Public Attitudes to Science survey found: • 89% adults say traditional media is one of their two most important sources of information about science: i.e. newspapers, TV, radio and news websites • Only 6% adults say the same of social media, but this rises to 21% for 16-24 year olds The public need to hear from the experts in mainstream media Science Media Centres around the world: Current Funders March 2014 AbbVie European College of Neuropsychopharmacology National Nuclear Laboratory Airwave Solutions Food and Drink Federation Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Alzheimer's Research UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) Nature Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board Gatsby Charitable Foundation Novartis UK Association of Medical Research Charities GE Healthcare Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) (AMRC) GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)Human Fertilisation & Nuclear Industry Association Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry Embryology Authority (HFEA) Oxitec (ABPI) Human Tissue Authority (HTA) PR Works AstraZeneca Imperial College London Proctor & Gamble BASF Institute of Mental Health Research Councils UK (RCUK) Bayer Institute of Physics Rolls-Royce Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine Royal Academy of Engineering Council (BBSRC) Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Royal Pharmaceutical Society BP International Ltd Institution of Civil Engineers Royal Society British Heart Foundation Institution of Engineering and Technology (The Sanofi British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA) IET) Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) British Pharmacological Society Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Scottish Mental Health Research Network British Psychological Society John Wiley & Sons Smith & Nephew British Retail Consortium King's College London Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM) Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Life Technologies Society for General Microbiology (SGM) Cardiff University L'Oreal Society for Radiological Protection Chartered Institution of Building Services Maudsley Charity Society of Biology Engineers Medical Research Council (MRC) Springer science+business media Chemical Industries Association Mental Health Foundation Syngenta Chilled Food Association Mental Health Research Network Technology Strategy Board Coca-Cola Mental Health Research Network Cymru UK Cleaning Products Industry Association Colgate-Palmolive Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Ltd UK Energy Research Centre CropLife International Met Office University College London Dept for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Mobile Manufacturers Forum University of Bristol Diamond Light Source Mobile Operators Association University of Cambridge DMG Media, including Daily Mail, The Mail on MQ: Transforming Mental Health University of East Anglia Sunday, Metro and Mail Online National Grid University of Oxford Elsevier National Institute for Health and Clinical Wellcome Trust Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Excellence (NICE) Council (EPSRC) National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Main Strategies Rapid Reactions - responding to breaking stories Round-ups - putting research into context Media Briefings - scientists set the agenda Rapid Reactions responding to breaking stories March 2011 Earthquake and tsunami in Japan Rapid Reaction Science Media Centre Rapid Reaction FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 11 March 2011 Experts comment on Japan earthquake and tsunami Dame Sue Ion, nuclear engineer and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering Dr Dan Faulkner, structural geologist from the University of Liverpool’s School of Environmental Sciences Prof Andreas Rietbrock, seismologist from the University of Liverpool’s School of Environmental Sciences Dr Ken McCaffrey, Reader in the Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University Paul Haigh, a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and an independent nuclear consultant Dr Alex Densmore, Department of Geography and Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience, Durham University Prof Dave Tappin, Marine geologist and expert in tsunamis, British Geological Survey Dr Roger Musson, Head of Seismic Hazard, British Geological Survey Dr. Clark H. Fenton, Senior Lecturer in Engineering Geology & Seismic Hazards, Imperial College London Dr Jeff Peakall, Reader in Sedimentology at the University of Leeds, said: Prof. Dr. Polat Gülkan, President of the IAEE (International Association for Earthquake Engineering) John S Whalley, Geoscience Programme Manager, University of Portsmouth Science Media Centre Rapid Reaction FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 11 March 2011 Experts comment on Japan earthquake and tsunami Prof. Rolf Aalto, a geographer at the University of Exeter, has studied tsunamis and works as a geochronologist with fallout radionuclides on a weekly basis. "The geological evidence in Japan (and elsewhere around the Pacific) indicates a history of giant tsunamis over the past several thousand years. Unfortunately, an engineering and political decision was made to design protection and plan cities around a hypothesized 5m tsunami - about the size of those experienced in Japan over the last century. However, it was not a surprise to geologists that a tsunami two to three times larger appeared, following a massive local earthquake. Although the scale of both the earthquake and tsunami were exceptional, they were both well within the realm of what can occur within that tectonic setting. Dr Dan Faulkner, structural geologist from the University of Liverpool’s School of Environmental Sciences, said: “The tectonic setting is quite complex in that part of the world, but in my understanding, there is part of the north American plate that sits in between the Pacific plate to the east and the Eurasian plate to the west.” Prof Andreas Rietbrock, seismologist from the University of Liverpool’s School of Environmental Sciences, said: “It is the North American plate, which in this area is divided up into some small micro plates.” Dr Ken McCaffrey, Reader in the Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University, said: “It is complicated, but it is what we call a microplate – the Ohkotsk microplate. It is a small fragment of the North American plate that is trapped between the main North American plate and the Eurasian plate.” Paul Haigh, a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and an independent nuclear consultant said: "All Japanese reactors are designed to withstand substantial earthquakes since they are situated in a known earthquake zone. Instrumentation is provided for the early detection of tremors which would lead to a controlled shutdown of the reactor. These systems appear to have successfully shut down the affected reactors. Problems at Onagawa are attributed to the failure of mechanical/electrical systems used to provide cooling water. Science Media Centre Ongoing Rapid Reaction FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 16 March 2011 Japan earthquake and nuclear emergency Sir John Beddington, Chief Scientific Officer for the UK government Prof Malcolm Joyce, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Lancaster University Tony Roulstone, Course Director, MPhil in Nuclear Energy, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge Dr. Philippe Blondel, Deputy Director, Centre for Space, Atmospheric & Oceanic Science, University of Bath Prof Steve Jones, independent nuclear and environmental consultant Dr Richard Wakeford, Dalton Nuclear Institute and Visiting Professor of Epidemiology, University of Manchester Prof Paddy Regan, Professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Surrey Dr Jim Smith, Reader in Environmental Physics at the University of Portsmouth Dr Mike Thorne, independent consultant in radiological and environmental science Prof Malcolm Sperrin, Director Of Medical Physics And Clinical Engineering, Royal Berkshire Hospital Tony Ennis, Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and independent environmental safety consultant Science Media Centre Ongoing Rapid Reaction FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 16 March 2011 Japan earthquake and nuclear emergency Prof Richard Wakeford, Dalton Nuclear Institute, University of Manchester, said: “The reactor cores were still hot when the reactor shut down (essentially when the chain reaction stops), as time goes on that radioactive decay heat will get less and the problem will get less. In this case, the diesel generators that ran the cooling systems were flooded by the tsunami, so sea water is now being used to cool the core. If the fuel is uncovered by cooling water it could become so hot it begins to melt – if all the fuel is uncovered you could get a large scale meltdown. So Japanese authorities are doing all they can at the moment to keep the core cooled with seawater. Prof Robin Grimes, Professor of Materials Physics, Imperial, said: “One important thing to remember is that all nuclear fuel that has been in a

  • Structure of Human Aspartyl Aminopeptidase Complexed With
    Chaikuad et al. BMC Structural Biology 2012, 12:14 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6807/12/14 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Structure of human aspartyl aminopeptidase complexed with substrate analogue: insight into catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity and M18 peptidase family Apirat Chaikuad1, Ewa S Pilka1, Antonio De Riso2, Frank von Delft1, Kathryn L Kavanagh1, Catherine Vénien-Bryan2, Udo Oppermann1,3 and Wyatt W Yue1* Abstract Backround: Aspartyl aminopeptidase (DNPEP), with specificity towards an acidic amino acid at the N-terminus, is the only mammalian member among the poorly understood M18 peptidases. DNPEP has implicated roles in protein and peptide metabolism, as well as the renin-angiotensin system in blood pressure regulation. Despite previous enzyme and substrate characterization, structural details of DNPEP regarding ligand recognition and catalytic mechanism remain to be delineated. Results: The crystal structure of human DNPEP complexed with zinc and a substrate analogue aspartate-β- hydroxamate reveals a dodecameric machinery built by domain-swapped dimers, in agreement with electron microscopy data. A structural comparison with bacterial homologues identifies unifying catalytic features among the poorly understood M18 enzymes. The bound ligands in the active site also reveal the coordination mode of the binuclear zinc centre and a substrate specificity pocket for acidic amino acids. Conclusions: The DNPEP structure provides a molecular framework to understand its catalysis that is mediated by active site loop swapping, a mechanism likely adopted in other M18 and M42 metallopeptidases that form dodecameric complexes as a self-compartmentalization strategy. Small differences in the substrate binding pocket such as shape and positive charges, the latter conferred by a basic lysine residue, further provide the key to distinguishing substrate preference.

  • A Critical Base Pair in K-Turns That Confers Folding Characteristics and Correlates with Biological Function
    ARTICLE Received 16 Apr 2014 | Accepted 2 Sep 2014 | Published 29 Oct 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6127 OPEN A critical base pair in k-turns that confers folding characteristics and correlates with biological function Scott A. McPhee1, Lin Huang1 & David M.J. Lilley1 Kink turns (k-turns) are widespread elements in RNA that mediate tertiary contacts by kinking the helical axis. We have found that the ability of k-turns to undergo ion-induced folding is conferred by a single base pair that follows the conserved AG pairs, that is, the 3b3n position. A Watson–Crick pair leads to an inability to fold in metal ions alone, while 3n ¼ Gor3b¼ C (but not both) permits folding. Crystallographic study reveals two hydrated metal ions coordinated to O6 of G3n and G2n of Kt-7. Removal of either atom impairs Mg2 þ - induced folding in solution. While SAM-I riboswitches have 3b3n sequences that would predispose them to ion-induced folding, U4 snRNA are strongly biased to an inability to such folding. Thus riboswitch sequences allow folding to occur independently of protein binding, while U4 should remain unfolded until bound by protein. The empirical rules deduced for k-turn folding have strong predictive value. 1 Cancer Research UK Nucleic Acid Structure Research Group, MSI/WTB Complex, The University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee DD1 5EH, UK.

  • Bringing STEM Experts Into Your Classroom a Teaching and Learning Guide
    Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom A Teaching and Learning Guide Information and advice for primary schools, and scientists and engineers, wishing to develop a partnership to support primary science and technology Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom This Teaching and Learning Guide begins with an overview of some local programmes enabling upper primary pupils to interact with STEM practitioners from industry, academia and government. These programmes include Civil Engineers in Primary Schools (supported by the Institution of Civil Engineers), Science Expressions (supported by the Astra-Zeneca Science Teaching Trust, and W5), STEM Experts in Primary Schools (supported by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), and Sentinus), Physical Scientists from the World Around Us (supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Physics in Ireland), Primary BioSciences and Primary Life Sciences (supported by the Wellcome Trust), Primary Food Sciences (in association with the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast). The essential feature of these programmes is that they provide continuing interaction between a working scientist or engineer and a primary school teacher and pupils over a period of time leading to a specific outcome or event, and provide a foundation for pupils to make appropriate course and career decisions later. As each section of this Guide is self-contained, there is some repetition between sections The programmes described in this paper were supported by: the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast, the Institute of Physics in Ireland, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Primary Science Teaching Trust (formerly the Astra Zeneca Science Teaching Trust), the Royal Society of Chemistry, Sentinus, the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, W5, and the Wellcome Trust.
