From experiencing biodiversity to action: How significant life experiences shape values and inspire bird conservation engagement

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Problem and aim: Bird biodiversity loss is a pressing global challenge that requires behavioural engagement, yet the motivational pathways leading to active bird conservation remain underexplored.

Evidence for Drop‐Like Nuclear Deformation in Sheared Endothelial Monolayers

Small, EarlyView.
Physiological shear stress smoothens endothelial monolayers by selectively eliminating less‐spread cells with tall, wrinkled nuclei. Nuclear volume and surface area remain constant, consistent with drop‐like deformation governed by geometric constraints.

Normalizing the Shamed Self: Stigma, Neutralization and “Narrative Credibility” in Interviews on White‐Collar Transgression

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this article, I analyze my interviews with Mark (pseudonym), a social scientist who committed major academic fraud in over 50 top‐tier journal articles in the first decade of this century. I explain how stigma played a central role in how Mark and I shaped our interaction. I focus on how Mark, a former Professor and Dean with a distinguished career,
