Nine free workshops and events are being hosted by Warwick researchers from 2 – 9 November 2019 as part of the UK-wide ESRC Festival of Social Science. Festival-goers can find out about how our understanding of DNA might shape the future of healthcare, share a refugee’s frightening journey across the Mediterranean by sea, dig deep into archive recordings of the Coventry accent, explore the impact of landmark legal cases through art, photography and theatre, or take a guided walk on Coventry’s wild side to explore the local environment.

The lifespan of a liquid droplet which is transforming into vapour can now be predicted thanks to a theory developed at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½. The new understanding can now be exploited in a myriad of natural and industrial settings where the lifetime of liquid drops governs a process’ behaviour and efficiency.

Depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation are more prominent in adults in their early twenties if they were bullied at home and at school, a study by researchers at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have found. Researchers stress that intervention is needed to educate people in bullying to reduce it.

13 titles have been longlisted for the third annual award of the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation.

The £1000 prize was established by the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ in 2017 to address the gender imbalance in translated literature and to increase the number of international women’s voices accessible by a British and Irish readership.

Researchers in WMG at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have developed a new method that could solve the problem of how to automate support of managing the complexities of care when applying multiple clinical practice guidelines, to patients with more than one medical issue.
