Philanthropy for the Disenfranchised

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philanthropy has an uneasy relationship with democracy. It distributes decision‐making power plutocratically, in proportion to wealth.

Yet, at the same time, philanthropy does much

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.

Splenic contraction associated with sudden, transient hypotension and sympathoexcitation in humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The spleen is traditionally recognised for its roles in immunity and blood filtration, and it is known to contract and release stored erythrocytes in hypoxic conditions. Recent findings suggest that the spleen may also contribute to cardiovascular regulation.
