The Economic Impacts of Direct Natural Disaster Exposure [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 This paper studies how having your home damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster impacts on economic and financial outcomes. Our context is Australia, where disasters are frequent. Estimates of regression models with individual, area and time fixed-effects, applied to 10 waves of data (2009-2018), indicate that residential destruction has no average ...

Nature versus exposure: matched exposure to circulatory stressors of different natures elicits adaptive remodelling [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2015 The systemic circulation consists of a pulsatile pump that delivers blood into a proximal vascular capacitor, subsequently distributing blood to the periphery with minimal variation in flow and pressure. In the face of chronic workload elevations, hypertrophic growth pathways activated in the left ventricle (LV) are thought to be an adaptive response ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

The affective benefits of nature exposure: What's nature got to do with it?
Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2019 Nature interactions have been demonstrated to produce reliable affective benefits. While adults demonstrate strong preferences for natural environments over urban ones, it is not clear whether these affective benefits result from exposure to nature stimuli per se, or result from viewing a highly preferred stimulus. In one set of studies (Study 1 and 2),
