EXPLORATHON 2023 Bright Club: Daniel Ridley-Ellis
No full textDaniel Ridley-Ellis is head of the Centre Wood Science and Technology at Edinburgh Napier University. He is one of the UK’s technical experts on guessing the strength of wood and can talk for hours on the topic – which he frequently does if nobody stops him. His main area of research is understanding the properties of wood, and how they are influenced by tree growth, forest management, and climate. He represents the UK at European Standards Committees for grading of construction timber, and the majority of structural sawn timber produced in the UK is now graded with settings he developed. He was named “woodland hero” for 2016 by Grown in Britain, and is also active in online learning, public engagement and science communication. He was the lead organiser of Bright Club Edinburgh from 2011 to 2023.What is Bright Club?Bright Club is the platform that transforms researchers into stand-up comedians and has been doing this for 10 years across the UK – it’s about having fun and audience participation!

Extracting and purifying R-phycoerythrin from Mediterranean red algae Corallina elongata Ellis & Solander
No full textR-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) is a protein acting as a photosynthetic accessory pigment in red algae (Rodophyta). This
protein has gained importance in many biotechnological applications in food science, immunodiagnostic, therapy,
cosmetics, protein and cell labelling, and analytical processes. In this paper we report on a new, one step procedure for
the extraction and purification of R-PE from a new source: the Mediterranean red algae Corallina elongata Ellis &
Solander. This red algae contains mainly R-PE and is suitable for the production in culture. No other contaminating
phycobiliproteins could be detected in the extracts. The method we propose for the purification is based on the use of
hydroxyapatite, a chromatographic resin that can be produced in the laboratory at very low cost and can be used batchwise
with large amounts of extracts, alternative to chromatography, and therefore can be scaled up. Both the yield and
the purity of R-PE are very good

Literary Lives: Biography and the Search for Understanding
No full textPopular though biography is, it has as yet received very little critical attention. What nearly all biographies offer is an understanding of their subjects and an explanation of their behaviour. In this book David Ellis, author of the acclaimed third volume of the Cambridge biography of D H Lawrence, meditates on the nature of biography and the way biographers habitually explain their subjects' lives by reference to psychology, ancestry, childhood experience, social relations, the body or illness. Packed with examples and written in a lively, engrossing style, the aim of the book is to uncover the principles which biographers adopt in their efforts to make sense of others' lives whilst at the same time ensuring that their own narratives remain coherent. In exploring the methods of literary biographers and the ways in which they interpret the material they accumulate - from Dr Johnson to Jean-Paul Sartre - David Ellis is able to make challenging and highly valuable comments on biography in general.Although he chiefly draws on recent lives of writers such as Dickens, Henry James, Flaubert, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Graham Greene, George Orwell, W B Yeats and Hemingway, Professor Ellis also considers the biographies of such compelling, non-literary figures as Mozart, Picasso and Cezanne. With their focus on the understanding of other people as the main feature of biography, the informed and often humorous discussions in this book provide the ideal context for appreciating this fascinating literary form

A salutation to the Britains, to call them from the many things, to the one thing needful, for the saving of their souls; especially, to the poor unlearned tradesmen, plowmen and shepherds, those that are of a low degree like my self, this in order to direct you to know God and Christ, the only wise God, which is life eternal, and to learn of him, that you may become wiser than your teachers. / By Ellis Pugh. ; Translated from the British language by Rowland Ellis, ; revis'd and corrected by David Lloyd. ; [Three lines from Jeremiah]
