The Iran War Is What ‘America First’ Actually Looks Like
No full textObservers from the MAGA base to the Iranian regime itself have converged on the idea that this is not the foreign policy the 'America First' slogan promised. The reality is more complex
Participatory Heritage as User-Led and Dialectical: In Dialogue with the Grade I listed National Portrait Gallery, London
No full textIssues of heritage as associated with Historic England are explained through the architecture of the National Portrait Gallery and the urban London location. The 1971 Grade I listing is read against key moments including inception in 1890, the 2000 overhaul and last year’s major refurbishments. Notions of authenticity in relation to heritage are evaluated through history, material changes and the exhibited portraits. The qualities specific to the site, building and contents are not seen as absolutes, but juxtaposed to create new readings and interpretations. Tangible and intangible constructs of heritage are explored through techniques of montage, dialectics and Walter Benjamin’s discourse on historiography and ‘aura’. Hence heritage concerning the Gallery is read within a spatio-temporal plethora of different physical and experiential configurations that are conceptual, relational, and the consequences of social, economical, cultural and political forces over the past century. Assumptions that old is better and valued are challenged to affirm that buildings are evidence of the cultures and communities that made them over time. Changes and intersections where the architecture, artworks, and theoretical discussions coincide create additional narratives that now consider technological advances like augmented reality to integrate the past and present. The new arguments are time and context contingent, attributed to multiple authors and most importantly, demonstrate that user-led and dependent actions alter understandings of the architecture, and subsequent meanings and experiences that shift accordingly. Here, the relevance of heritage and the Gallery beyond 2025 are advanced as creative processes that emphasise transitory, experiential and participatory qualities

No full textWho sees what in programmable plants? Diverse public visions of emerging agricultural biotechnologies UNDER REVIEW
No full textUpstream engagement seeks to understand and address social and ethical risks early in science and technology development. However, questions remain about who to engage and what kinds of insights different publics can contribute, a core dimension of responsible research and innovation. Across fifteen upstream survey events (n = 397) conducted in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States and in Italy, this study examines how diverse publics conceptualize an emerging agricultural biotechnology known as programmable plants. Qualitative analysis of the 765 open-ended responses identified three themes: 1) Making sense of programmable plants, where respondents reflected on what programmable plants could mean and represent, 2) What makes plants programmable, where respondents imagined mechanisms and metaphors for altering plants, and 3) What programmable plants make, where respondents articulated desired applications and outputs for programmed plants. The quantitative analysis revealed that professionals had higher expected mentions of technical applications emphasizing plant-environment-human interactions, the general public emphasized naturalness, though rarely, and students comparatively expressed more uncertainty, also rarely. The findings demonstrate how open-ended upstream engagement reveals diverse interpretations of programmable plants across stakeholder groups, emphasizing the importance of inclusive public engagement as digital innovations in agriculture continue to advance.This work was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, under Grant No. DBI-201967
Clinical Investigators' Day, February 27, 2026
No full textClinical Investigators' Day resident research symposium is held annually at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. This event provides an opportunity for residents and interns to hone both written and oral presentation skills and to showcase the breadth and depth of their ongoing clinical investigations being conducted in various areas of study. Topics cover a wide range of applied, basic, retrospective and prospective studies.This is the 19 th year of the annual event whose primary goal is to provide an opportunity for residents and interns to showcase ongoing investigations carried out at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. It is our hope that greater insights will be gained in the breadth and depth of clinical investigations conducted at the College and will serve as a catalyst to promote greater interactions among colleagues with clinical and basic science research interests
Balancing potassium (K) management of alfalfa. When is too much indeed more than we need?
No full textAlfalfa is an important crop for many dairy producers in the Northeastern United States. When managed properly, alfalfa can bring in large quantities of high-quality and high-protein homegrown forage without the need for extra nitrogen fertilizer.This issue of The Manager is published by Progressive Dairy and printing is sponsored by Papillon
Images as agents for sharing collective memories of historical traumas across generations
No full textDifferent Strokes, Different Folks: Academic Mothers/Carers and Imposter Syndrome
No full textThis paper examines the experiences of academic mothers/carers working in universities and imposter syndrome. It explores the complexities involved and the contexts in which feelings of imposter syndrome arise, both within academic, parenting and caregiving realms. It examines how these spaces intersect, separate, and collide and impact on career trajectories. Utilising the survey as a qualitative research tool (Brawn et al., 2021) researching 101 academic mothers, carers and scholars, this paper draws upon feminist (Rickett & Thompson, 2024; Taylor & Breeze, 2020) and intersectional frameworks (Crenshaw, 1989). As such, it makes intelligible possible causes of imposter syndrome for academic mothers/carers, possible structural causes for imposter syndrome feelings and the strategies these women adopt to cope with and overcome these feelings. In doing this, complex accounts centring on the impacts of being a parent/carer of children are examined, which involve the gendered expectations in academia, societal norms around parenting and work/life balance impacting career trajectories, professional identity, and personal well-being in the Academy. The research highlights the systemic challenges women academics with parenting and caring responsibilities routinely face, such as inequitable workloads (Guy & Arthur, 2020), intersectional disadvantage (Crimmins, Casey & Tsouroiufli, 2023), limited access to leadership roles (HESA, 2023), the primary responsibilities of caregiving and their potential impacts on feelings of imposter syndrome. The paper offers valuable strategies that women scholars employ to navigate these challenges, alongside recommendations to the sector to better support these scholars
