Two key steps in the evolution of human cooperation: the interdependence hypothesis (2012)
Journal Article

Modern theories of the evolution of human cooperation focus mainly on altruism. In contrast, we propose that humans’ species-unique forms of cooperation—as well as their species-unique forms of cognition, communication, and social life—all derive fro...

Long-term outcomes of early childhood science education: insight from a cross-national comparative case study on conceptual understanding of science (2012)
Journal Article

The purpose of this research was to explore the long term outcomes of either participating or not participating in early childhood science education on Grade 6 students’ conceptual understanding of science. The research is situated in a conceptual fr...

‘Dark Tourism’ and the ‘Kitschification’ of 9/11 (2012)
Journal Article

This paper aims to interrogate the framing of New York’s Ground Zero as a ‘dark tourist’ destination, with particular reference to the entanglement of notions of kitsch in academic discussions of the events of September 11th 2001. What makes Ground Z... Read More about ‘Dark Tourism’ and the ‘Kitschification’ of 9/11.

Quorum-sensing and cheating in bacterial biofilms (2012)
Journal Article

The idea from human societies that self-interest can lead to a breakdown of cooperation at the group level is sometimes termed the public goods dilemma. We tested this idea in the opportunistic bacterial pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by examini... Read More about Quorum-sensing and cheating in bacterial biofilms.

Association of modified cytosines and the methylated DNA-binding protein MeCP2 with distinctive structural domains of lampbrush chromatin (2012)
Journal Article

We have investigated the association of DNA methylation and proteins interpreting methylation state with the distinctive closed and open chromatin structural domains that are directly observable in the lampbrush chromosomes (LBCs) of amphibian oocyte...

Asymptotically optimal quantum channel reversal for qudit ensembles and multimode Gaussian states (2012)
Journal Article

We investigate the problem of optimally reversing the action of an arbitrary quantum channel C which acts independently on each component of an ensemble of n identically prepared d-dimensional quantum systems. In the limit of large ensembles, we cons... Read More about Asymptotically optimal quantum channel reversal for qudit ensembles and multimode Gaussian states.

Decisions for others become less impulsive the further away they are on the family tree (2012)
Journal Article

People tend to prefer a smaller immediate reward to a larger but delayed reward. Although this discounting of future rewards is often associated with impulsivity, it is not necessarily irrational. Instead it has been suggested that it reflects the de... Read More about Decisions for others become less impulsive the further away they are on the family tree.

Nonlinear modal coupling in a high-stress doubly-clamped nanomechanical resonator (2012)
Journal Article

We present results from a study of the nonlinear inter-modal coupling between different flexural vibrational modes of a single high-stress, doubly-clamped silicon nitride nanomechanical beam. Using the magnetomotive technique and working at 100 mK we... Read More about Nonlinear modal coupling in a high-stress doubly-clamped nanomechanical resonator.
