Archiving Futurity Within the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women's Crisis

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 85-96, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, we examine how settler colonization and gendered violence against Indigenous women are remembered and recorded in two archival registers: 18th‐century records from the Massachusetts Archives Collection (MAC) and a 21st‐century corpus of posts using the hashtag MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) on X (formerly Twitter)

Blueprint for a high-performance biomaterial: full-length spider dragline silk genes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Spider dragline (major ampullate) silk outperforms virtually all other natural and manmade materials in terms of tensile strength and toughness. For this reason, the mass-production of artificial spider silks through transgenic technologies has been a ...

Animal Venom Pharmacological Resources: Exploiting Bioactive Peptides to Target Multi–Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesBiochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The escalating rise of multi–drug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial strains significantly threatens global health, creating a “silent pandemic” prompted by natural selection, gene mutation, and horizontal gene transfer. This crisis is worsened by the deficit in the development of new treatments, necessitating the innovative discovery of new potent ...

Change of Rotation Measure during the Eclipse of a Black Widow PSR J2051−0827

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Black widows are millisecond pulsars ablating their companions. The material blown from the companion blocks the radio emission, resulting in radio eclipses. The properties of the eclipse medium are poorly understood.

The Deconversion of Harriet Martineau: An Emotional History of Unbelief

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 455-476, December 2025.
Conceptualising the ‘Victorian crisis of faith’ as a phenomenon fuelled by wider intellectual forces can only take us so far in our understanding of it. The loss of faith of many contemporaries did not merely entail an intellectual volte‐face, but also an affective impact. Scholarly accounts have been primarily written by privileging the role of ideas,
