Philosophy as a way of life, spiritual exercises, and palliative care
Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 29, Issue 7, Page 1171-1179, October 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper proposes that resources from philosophy as a way of life (PWL), in particular the prescription of targeted ‘spiritual exercises’ (Hadot) can be used in palliative counselling, addressing Alexandrova's critique that philosophy as ‘big picture’ theories alone are insufficient.

Agency in evolution of biomolecular communication
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1525, Issue 1, Page 88-103, July 2023., 2023 The emergence of agency in biomolecular systems involves a biphasic process of communication that constructs a message before it can be transmitted for interpretation. Evolutionary genomic and bioinformatic explorations suggest agency emerges when molecular machinery generates hierarchical layers of vocabularies in an entangled communication network ...

Leaf angle as a leaf and canopy trait: Rejuvenating its role in ecology with new technology
Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 1005-1020, June 2023., 2023 Leaf angle is crucial in light interception for plant canopies. It is a morphological trait that is associated with many other leaf traits in the leaf economics spectrum. We reviewed the importance of leaf angle in ecology and used model simulations to demonstrate the importance of leaf angle in simulating canopy fluxes.

Origins of Organic Chemistry and Organic Synthesis
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 25, July 7, 2022., 2022 The origins of organic chemistry and organic synthesis started in the middle ages, long before molecular compositions were known. Paradigm shifts caused by Lavoisier, Chevreuil, Wöhler, Liebig, Kolbe and Berthelot are highlighted. The graphic shows some early key organic molecules, but although synthesis and analysis had become well established ...
