Putting “Heavy” into Heavy Slow Resistance
No full textThe body of literature on tendinopathy management has come a long way in the last few decades and a variety of changes in the clinical approach have emerged from this research. One particular approach that shows promise has been called “heavy slow resistance” (HSR), and this has been the subject of investigation in a number of randomized controlled trials. While the premise for this approach is defensible, a critical examination of the implementation of these HSR protocols results in some concerns when compared to basic exercise science principles. This article lays out some considerations that will help future investigators to improve their exercise prescription approaches in this area

James Cook art collection
No full textJames Cook University (JCU) was gazetted as a University College in 1960 and during that decade, Professor Ron Kenny, biological scientist and keen artist, instigated the Art Collection. He convinced University College Warden (and future inaugural JCU Vice-Chancellor), Professor Ken Back, to commit to an investment policy of collecting works of established and emerging Australian artists. Associate Professor Anneke Silver recalls that collecting a strong representation of Australian works for the University College was perceived as a valuable contribution to the developing argument for a fully-fledged University in North Queensland. In 1970 the College was proclaimed as James Cook University of North Queensland (shortened to James Cook University in 1997)
Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement

Oral History Interview with Robert Cook-Deegan
No full textThis interview with Bob Cook-Deegan, MD, is part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Prof. Cook-Deegan is a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes at Arizona State University. He was the founding director of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law, and Policy at Duke University’s Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. He served at the Office of Technology Assessment of the United States Congress where he contributed to major reports on emerging biomedical technologies and their societal impacts. He is the author of The Gene Wars: Science, Politics, and the Human Genome, a comprehensive account of the struggle to launch the Human Genome Project. His areas of expertise include genomics, genetic policy, Open Science, health technology, and public policy.
Bob Cook-Deegan recounts his childhood in Denver as the son of a physician. He discusses his early academic career, his undergraduate years at Harvard, his time at the University of Colorado Medical School, and his decision to pursue medical research. He also talks about becoming a father and maintaining a work-life balance with his two children and wife, Kathryn. Cook Deegan shares his experience researching Alzheimer’s disease, as well as his rotation at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Cook-Deegan details his work at the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), including reports on aging, biotech, and the Human Genome Project, and offers an account of its eventual demise due to political changes. Other topics include the history of the Bermuda Principles, the role of political administrations on health policy, the current turn to Open Science, and Cook-Deegan's own relationship to collecting oral histories. He concludes the conversation with a reflection on the Trump administration’s recent decision to cut funding for many science-funding agencies
