Dr. Brian Angus on Tropical Medicine
No full textWriter and medical historian Conrad Keating talks to Dr. Brian Angus, Director of the Wellcome Trust UK Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine in Oxford, about his interest in science and how this inspired him to work with infectious diseases in Africa. Dr Brian Angus originally worked with Professor Nick White in Thailand and joined the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine in 1993. In this wide-ranging discussion with the writer and medical historian Conrad Keating, Brian talks about his work with medical students, how he contracted Dengue fever in Thailand, and why scientific research on tropical diseases in developing countries benefits the people of Britain.

Losing the Nobel prize: a story of cosmology, ambition, and the perils of science's highest honor
No full textThe inside story of a quest to unlock one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries, derailed by the lure of the Nobel Prize.
What would it have been like to be an eyewitness to the Big Bang? In 2014, astronomers wielding BICEP2, the most powerful cosmology telescope ever made, thought they’d glimpsed the spark that ignited the Big Bang. Millions around the world tuned in to the announcement, and Nobel whispers began to spread. But had these cosmologists truly read the cosmic prologue or, driven by ambition in pursuit of Nobel gold, had they been deceived by a galactic mirage?
In Losing the Nobel Prize, cosmologist Brian Keating―who first conceived of the BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) experiments―tells the inside story of BICEP2’s detection and the ensuing scientific drama. Along the way, Keating provocatively argues that the Nobel Prize actually hampers scientific progress by encouraging speed and competition while punishing inclusivity, collaboration, and bold innovation. To build on BICEP2’s efforts to reveal the cosmos’ ultimate secrets―indeed, to advance science itself―the Nobel Prize must be radically reformed

Combined Geophysical Measurements Provide Evidence for Unfrozen Water in Permafrost in the Adventdalen Valley in Svalbard
No full textQuantifying the unfrozen water content of permafrost is critical for assessing impacts of surface warming on the reactivation of groundwater flow and release of greenhouse gasses from degrading permafrost. Unfrozen water content was determined along an ~12-km transect in the Adventdalen valley in Svalbard, an area with continuous permafrost, using surface nuclear magnetic resonance and controlled source audio-magnetotelluric data. This combination of measurements allowed for differentiation of saline from fresh pore water, and frozen from unfrozen pore water. Above the limit of Holocene marine transgression, no unfrozen water was detected, associated with high electrical resistivity. Below the marine limit, within several kilometers of the coast, up to ~10% unfrozen water content was detected, associated with low resistivity values indicating saline pore water. These results provide evidence for unfrozen water within continuous, thick permafrost in coastal settings, which has implications for groundwater flow and greenhouse gas release in similar Arctic environments.Peer reviewe
The Anthropology of Thomas Keating
No full textDzisiejszy człowiek, zanurzony w materialistycznym świecie, oddalił się od Boga i świata duchowego. Thomas Keating starał się przywrócić tę sferę, propagując formę modlitwy ciszy Centering Prayer. W swoich dziełach opisuje, jak ta modlitwa wpływa na całościowy rozwój człowieka. Autorka niniejszego opracowania próbuje odtworzyć wizję człowieka, jaką Keating zawarł w swoich pracach w nadziei, że przyczyni się to do powstania lepszego modelu antropologii.The materialism of today’s world is causing people to lose contact with God and with their own spirituality. Thomas Keating tried to bring this part of the human experience back by promoting a form of meditative prayer called Centering Prayer. In his books he describes how this prayer influences integral human development. The author tries to discover Keating’s vision of the human person, in hope of assisting in the creation of a better anthropological model

"Keating reckons he's not into making bird noises for the media" [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Published in the Canberra Times on 11February 1992.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3050556. Prime Minister Paul Keating may be ambivalent about the media, but he has no doubt about the $2.50 Medicare co-payment introduced recently by the Minister for Health, Housing and Community Services, Brian Howe which, as he, Keating, indicated some time previously, is about to be abolished.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
