Leviathans and Liberation: Did Whaling Contribute to the Decline of Slavery?

open access: yesInternational Social Science Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We test the hypothesis slavery started declining in the United States not due to fossil fuel‐driven industrialization but the exploitation of the bioenergy reserves of the world's largest animals. We predict the population in slavery in US states from 1790 to 1840 as a function of the recorded whaling harvest.

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.
