Mapping Research Software Landscapes through Exploratory Studies of GitHub Data
(2022)Research software enables data processing and plays a vital role in academia and industry. As such, it is essential to have findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) research software. However, what precisely ... -
A new chapter in fluorescence imaging Live imaging of the central dogma in vivo
(2022)The development of an organism is regulated by the information encoded in DNA. The central dogma is the process which decodes this information through two mechanisms: transcription and translation. These mechanisms are ... -
Mirror neurons: a bilaterian innovation?: A new look on mechanisms, function and evolution of the mirror neuron system
(2015)Mirror neurons are considered to play important roles in human social behaviour. Here I theorise, that the social functions of “mirror neurons” are based upon adaptations in the way in which neurons communicate, rather ... -
