The Anthropocene and the End of Nuclear Disaster: Normalizing the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article places the concept of disaster in critical dialogue with that of the Anthropocene, which introduces new imaginaries that negatively affect the governance of crises like nuclear accidents. I argue that tropes surrounding the Anthropocene can depict certain events as apocalyptic calamities while also portraying other events as mere “

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

Repurposed catechol‐O‐methyltransferase inhibitors tolcapone and entacapone preferentially suppress aggregation and seeding of P301 mutant tau in human neuronal models

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Pathogenic aggregation and propagation of seed‐competent TAU assemblies drive tauopathies. MAPT P301 mutations accelerate aggregation and enhance seed competence, yet pharmacological strategies selectively targeting these pathogenic species remain limited.
