Exploring the role of polymers to overcome ongoing challenges in the field of extracellular vesicles
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are naturally occurring nanoparticles released from all eucaryotic and procaryotic cells. While their role was formerly largely underestimated, EVs are now clearly established as key mediators of intercellular communication.

Pickets, Protests and Purses in the American Civil Rights Movement
Gender &History, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1070-1088, October 2023., 2023 Abstract At first glance, perhaps nothing seems more mundane and apolitical than a purse.

Disaster mobilities, temporalities, and recovery: experiences of the tsunami in the Maldives
Disasters, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1069-1089, October 2023., 2023 Large‐scale disasters are frequently portrayed as temporally bounded, linear events after which survivors are encouraged to ‘move on’ as quickly as possible. In this paper, we explore how understandings of disaster mobilities and temporalities challenge such perspectives.

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

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War
Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 1, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

The Martyrdom of Nadezhda Kurchenko: Soviet Hero Cults and the Spiritual Turn in Late Socialism
The Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 1, Page 69-87, January 2026.Abstract This article argues that the spiritual turn in Soviet atheism under Brezhnev provided a meaningful solution to the problems of producing heroes when self‐sacrificing martyrs were losing their appeal. To support this claim, I examine the story of Nadezhda Kurchenko, a nineteen‐year‐old flight attendant killed by two hijackers on an Aeroflot ...

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 245-263, January 2026.Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.

Microstructural and geochemical evidence offers a solution to the cephalopod cameral deposits riddle
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Orthoceratoid cephalopods are common in the Palaeozoic rock record but went extinct in the Late Triassic. Many orthoceratoids contain cameral deposits, which are enigmatic calcareous structures within their chambered shell that presumably balanced their straight conchs in a horizontal position. Since the mid‐19th century, palaeontologists have
