First person – Jamie Whitelaw
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Jamie Whitelaw is first author on ‘ CYRI-B loss promotes enlarged mature focal adhesions and restricts microtubule and ERC1 access to the cell leading edge’, published in JCS. Jamie conducted the research described in this article while a post-doctoral researcher in Prof. Laura Machesky's lab at CRUK Scotland Institute, Glasgow, UK. He is now a Lecturer at University of the West of Scotland, Blantyre, investigating host–pathogen interactions with a focus on the role of the host cytoskeleton
Kathleen Jamie, Chitra Ramaswamy & Amanda Thomson: Antlers of Water - Live Event
No full text‘When we read and write, when we love our fellow creatures, when we walk on the beach, when we just listen and notice, we are not little cogs in the machine, but part of the remedy.’ These luminous words by Kathleen Jamie form part of the introduction to Antlers of Water, an outstanding collection of contemporary Scottish writing about nature and landscape.
The generosity of Jamie’s approach as editor of the collection goes beyond the stellar selection of contributors such as Amy Liptrot, Karine Polwart and Malachy Tallack: she also invokes the agency of readers to make a difference. ‘If, by reading, you are encouraged or confirmed in your love of the natural world, if you’re inspired simply to… look outside, then our job is done.’
In a discussion led by the BBC's Clare English, Jamie is joined by award-winning journalist Chitra Ramaswamy as well as visual artist and writer Amanda Thomson – both contributors to the anthology – to discuss Scotland, landscape and the more-than-human world around us.
This is a live event, with an author Q&A.

A Feasibility Study of 21st-Century Sanitation in North Carolina
No full textSarah E A Long: A Feasibility Study of 21st-Century Sanitation in North Carolina
(Under the direction of Jamie Bartram)
There is growing recognition among practitioners and government officials, of the human right to safe water and sanitation. As the United States of America invests in its water and sanitation infrastructure over the next decade, it is worth exploring opportunities to the limitations of conventional systems. Sewer systems are costly to install and maintain, while septic systems are prone to poor maintenance and made challenging by not suitable soil conditions. Inspired by examples of sanitation innovation abroad, I explore what a 21st century sanitation system, that both meets sanitation gaps and improves upon conventional systems, would look like in the U.S. using the case of the state of North Carolina. I conducted a literature review of sanitation alternatives and conceptualized the design of a system that meets the health, economic, and environmental needs of a range of communities within the state. I conducted qualitative analysis of a series of interviews to examine incentives, barriers, and perceptions among key stakeholders. I explored the financial feasibility of such a system, for communities in North Carolina with a range of available resources.
Results suggest that the primary incentives for a conceptualized alternative are environmental, and economic, particularly in comparison to septic systems. The biggest advantage over septic systems would be the decreased minimum lot size due to the elimination of a septic drain field. The conceptualized alternative’s capital costs are estimated to be cheaper than both sewer and septic; however, maintenance and lifetime costs were higher than the conceptualized systems, making the alternative’s overall costs more expensive. The potential for resource recovery and retrofitting existing infrastructure are, however, promising. The stakeholder responses to the conceptualized design warrant further exploration of this conceptualized system.Master of Scienc
