  Nutrition, immunity and a global pandemic It  is well recognised that nutrition is intricately linked to immunity and to the risk and severity of infections. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for a balanced healthy diet to support the immune system and fight infection has become more apparent than ever. The immune system is always active however activity is enhanced if an individual becomes infected. This heightened activity is accompanied by an increased rate of metabolism, requiring energy sources which are ultimately derived from the diet. An adequate supply of a wide range of nutrients is essential to support the immune system to function optimally. Worldwide many individuals are already consuming diets that lack optimal quantities of essential vitamins and minerals - often because of availability or cost. As the pandemic continues many more are at risk of food insecurity. This new collection provides an overview of the link between nutrition and immunity, discussin...

    Hybrid work: The next great disruption " W e’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid work — a blended model where some employees return to the workplace and others continue to work from home . We’re on the brink of a disruption as great as last year’s sudden shift to remote work: the move to hybrid work — a blended model where some employees return to the workplace and others continue to work from home .

Study of these materials has helped us understand how the Earth works now, how it has worked in the past and how it may work in the future. The cores are a wonderful source of information on the dynamic processes that form and reform the Earth, both beneath the ocean and on land. The results have revealed climate and oceanographic change on different time frames, the history of life in the sea and on land including global mass extinctions, the extraordinary story of the great masses of ‘extremophile’ microbes that live beneath the sea bed, the nature of the giant earthquakes and tsunami generated at the trenches where tectonic plates collid...
