This collection is curated by the first ResearchEquals Cohorts.
The collection has a revolving set of themes, and currently we are curating work on the following three themes:
1. research about cute fluffy animals
2. research that had an impact on you personally
3. intersection between science and arts
If you want to submit to this collection too, it is possible, but the first ResearchEquals Cohort decides whether it is accepted or declined.
Mastodon over Mammon - Towards publicly owned scholarly knowledge
Calling the academic community to create a public resource protected from private interests for bringing the remaining scholarly record — encompassing text, data and code — into the Fediverse. Gladly Research Equals serves as one such solution.
Choreographing lived experience: dance, feelings and the storytelling body
doi: 10.1136/medhum-2014-010602
A collaboration between a medical anthropologist and a contemporary dance choreographer to address embodied experiences of illness and recovery in women with eating disorder. This is a good example on the intersection of art, science, and public/patient engagement.
Engaging children in geosciences through storytelling and creative dance
This article explores how creative dance is used to promote science engagement with non-expert audiences in the field of ocean and coastal geology.
Tardigrades survive exposure to space in low Earth orbit
doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2008.06.048
The first record of an animal surviving simultaneous exposure to space vacuum and solar/galactic radiation. This article challenged dogmatic understanding on DNA repair mechanisms. We should have more fluffy tardigrades.
Electroencephalography profiles as a biomarker of wellbeing: A twin study
doi: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2020.04.010
Was really great to see examples where EEG was combined with subjective measures. Their paper validated my project approach
Cats learn the names of their friend cats in their daily lives
doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-10261-5
I think it's very cool that our fellow furry friends recognise their furry friends. Nice that cats (like us) have some understanding of their relationship with others in the world.
Cultural transmission of vocal dialect in the naked mole-rat
Naked mole-rats may not be fluffy, but they're pretty interesting animals. This paper shows that naked mole-rats signal social membership with dialect usage, a pretty impressive feat in rodents. It’s more evidence that social complexity evolved together with vocal complexity.
Pressures produced when penguins pooh?calculations on avian defaecation
doi: 10.1007/s00300-003-0563-3
This is the weirdest paper about penguins I've ever read. It shows science can be just as random as some of the jokes I make 😅
