Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial.
From research awards in environmental science and neutron physics, to comments on new research that hopes to understand why inflammation is different in men and women, here is some quick-read news from across Imperial.
Environmental research awards
Two research papers involving experts from Imperial's Environmental Research Group (ERG) have received awards from scientific journals for the quality of their work this month.
Each year, the editors of Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) review all published papers from the previous year to honour the most vital and influential work in the field.
A paper by Dr David Green, Dr William Hicks, Professor Frank Kelly and Dr Ian Mudway was picked as a first joint runner up in the 'Critical Review' category for the ES&T's Best Paper Awards for 2022. The paper reviewed the health impact of non-exhaust particles from road traffic and potential ways to mitigate this issue.
Separately, Dr Julia Fussell who is also a member of the World Health Organisation's expert working group on desert dust, received an Editors' Choice Award from GeoHealth for the best perspective or review paper of 2023. The paper reviewed the effects of desert dust and sandstorms on human health (pictured top).
