The University of Dundee has been granted a £10million award by the Leverhulme Trust to establish a Research Centre for Forensic Science aimed at shaping the future of the subject and ensuring it remains a vital component of the criminal justice system.
Dundee is one of four UK universities – alongside Cambridge, Liverpool and Sheffield – to win the new Leverhulme Research Centre awards. Each centre will be funded for up to £10 million over 10 years, to support fundamental cross-disciplinary research across the whole range of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, humanities and social sciences.
The award to Dundee builds on the University’s international reputation as a centre of excellence in forensic science. The new Centre will be led by Professor Sue Black, Director of the University’s Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID).

Nature and culture: how do these two heritages collaborate? Indigenous cultures and languages of Latin America, particularly the oral and written literature of the Maya and Quechua have very different ways of engaging with nature to ‘Western’ society. Dr Charles Pigott, Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the Centre of Latin American Studies, combines a whole range of disciplines to attain a holistic understanding on the decrease of these languages, including literary studies, anthropology, ecology, geography, psychology and sociology.
This film is one of a series of eight that showcases the extent that conservation-related research is embedded in a wide range of academic fields and involves collaboration with non-academic partners beyond the University. The films are produced by the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI), which was established in October 2013 to foster a cross-disciplinary approach within the University of Cambridge.
“Conservation is primarily underpinned by human behaviour and it is therefore vital to understand the social factors, such as cultural drivers or geographical patterns, which shape our environment, as well as developing our biological and scientific knowledge.” Dr Bhaskar Vira, Director of UCCRI.

"Turbulence - Coherent Structures of Turbulence Modeled by Sequences of Bifurcations"
World-renowned, multi-award-winning physicist Professor Friedrich Busse speaks on his innovative research into turbulence at Aston University's Leverhulme Trust Lecture on 13 November 2013.
Turbulence can be experienced in everything from air travel - the mixing of high and low speed air in the atmosphere, through to signal disruption along long-distance optical communication networks. The international engineering partnership of Aston academics and Professor Busse aims to improve our understanding of turbulent processes.
Professor Busse is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Bayreuth in Germany and Professor in Residence of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his doctorate in Physics from the University of Munich in 1962 and has had postdoctoral appointments at the Department of Mathematics at MIT and at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (UCLA).

Great news: thanks The Leverhulme Trust, students on Central's BA and MA Applied Theatre courses can undertake a unique range of targeted outreach activities in the UK and internationally, practicing their drama facilitation skills in organisations such as prisons, special educational needs schools, hospitals and NGOs.
Since 2007 funding from The Leverhulme Trust has provided development opportunities for more than 350 Central students.
Our students have worked around the world, including the slums of Mumbai, South African townships, and in prisons in the UK and abroad.
This funding has contributed to the high employment or further study rate of Central's applied theatre students (96.2%).
From September 2016, over £60,000 of funding from The Leverhulme Trust will be available each year to students on Central's BA (Hons) Drama, Applied Theatre and Education and MA Applied Theatre courses.
Instructions on how to receive this funding are provided during the course.

Patrick Haggard is professor at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London. He has received various awards and honours for his work, including recent Research Fellowships from the Royal Society, Leverhulme Trust and Economic and Social Science Research Council. His research interests include the neural control of human action, the conscious experience of voluntary action, and the neural and psychological aspects of body representation.
In his talk Patrick shows how we can trick our consciousness and our sense of self and our body by doing simple experiments. These findings can help us in the future in therapies to promote a coherent self in humans and to créate alternative inputs for people with sensory disabilities.
The talk has been recorded at TEDxBarcelona on the 17th of May 2013. For more information please visit www.tedxbarcelona.com

Institute: http://ilas.sas.ac.uk/ Inaugural LAGLOBAL/Leverhulme Trust Lecture Crushing the Lettered City: Theological Worlds of the Illiterate Professor Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra (University of Texas at Austin and Leverhulme Visiting Professor, ILAS) The "Lettered City" is a trope invented in the late twentieth century by literary critics who imagined that the intellectual history of colonial Latin America was dominated by a tiny learned elite enamored of the power that flowed from a monopoly over literacy. This lecture demonstrates that literacy often flowed in the opposite direction: from the illiterate to the theologian. Circles of theologians often took down in writing the ... -

Richard III - The Whole Genome Sequence
The whole genome of King Richard III is to be sequenced in a project led by Dr Turi King of the Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Leverhulme Trust and Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, Emeritus Professor at the University of Leicester, who discovered genetic fingerprinting. The aim is to shed new light on the ancestry and health of the last king of England to die in battle, and provide a complete archive of information that historians, scientists and the public will be able to access and use. Dr Turi King and colleagues plan to sequence his genome and make it freely accessible as a resource to researchers wishing to analyse and interrogate its genetic information. Richard III will be the first ancient individual of known identity to have... -

Nature and culture: how do these two heritages collaborate? Indigenous cultures and languages of Latin America, particularly the oral and written literature of the Maya and Quechua have very different ways of engaging with nature to ‘Western’ society. Dr Charles Pigott, Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the Centre of Latin American Studies, combines a whole range of disciplines to attain a holistic understanding on the decrease of these languages, including literary studies, anthropology, ecology, geography, psychology and sociology.
This film is one of a series of eight that showcases the extent that conservation-related research is embedded in a wide range of academic fields and involves collaboration with non-academic partners beyond the University. The films are produced by the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI), which was established in October 2013 to foster a cross-disciplinary approach within the University of Cambridge.
“Conservation is primarily underpinned by human behaviour and it is therefore vital to understand the social factors, such as cultural drivers or geographical patterns, which shape our environment, as well as developing our biological and scientific knowledge.” Dr Bhaskar Vira, Director of UCCRI.

"Turbulence - Coherent Structures of Turbulence Modeled by Sequences of Bifurcations"
World-renowned, multi-award-winning physicist Professor Friedrich Busse speaks on his innovative research into turbulence at Aston University's Leverhulme Trust Lecture on 13 November 2013.
Turbulence can be experienced in everything from air travel - the mixing of high and low speed air in the atmosphere, through to signal disruption along long-distance optical communication networks. The international engineering partnership of Aston academics and Professor Busse aims to improve our understanding of turbulent processes.
Professor Busse is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Bayreuth in Germany and Professor in Residence of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his doctorate in Physics from the University of Munich in 1962 and has had postdoctoral appointments at the Department of Mathematics at MIT and at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (UCLA).

Patrick Haggard is professor at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London. He has received various awards and honours for his work, including recent Research Fellowships from the Royal Society, Leverhulme Trust and Economic and Social Science Research Council. His research interests include the neural control of human action, the conscious experience of voluntary action, and the neural and psychological aspects of body representation.
In his talk Patrick shows how we can trick our consciousness and our sense of self and our body by doing simple experiments. These findings can help us in the future in therapies to promote a coherent self in humans and to créate alternative inputs for people with sensory disabilities.

How do social science and economics fit into research on palm oil production? Rosemary Ostfeld, PhD Student in the Department of Land Economy, explains how her understanding of society and consumer behaviour is crucial for her to liaise with stakeholders to determine the effectiveness of initiatives.
This film is one of a series of eight that showcases the extent that conservation-related research is embedded in a wide range of academic fields and involves collaboration with non-academic partners beyond the University. The films are produced by the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI), which was established in October 2013 to foster a cross-disciplinary approach within the University of Cambridge.
“Conservation is primarily underpinned by human behaviour and it is therefore vital to understand the social factors, such as cultural drivers or geographical patterns, which shape our environment, as well as developing our biological and scientific knowledge.” Dr Bhaskar Vira, Director of UCCRI.

Crushing the Lettered City: Theological Worlds of the Illiterate
Professor Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra
(University of Texas at Austin and Leverhulme Visiting Professor, ILAS)
The "Lettered City" is a trope invented in the late twentieth century by literary critics who imagined that the intellectual history of colonial Latin America was dominated by a tiny learned elite enamored of the power that flowed from a monopoly over literacy. This lecture demonstrates that literacy often flowed in the opposite direction: from the illiterate to the theologian. Circles of theologians often took down in writing the visions of the allegedly ignorant, only to find them utterly versed in Old Testament prophecy. Many of these "illiterate" visions became sacred texts among the learned, in some cases gathering as much political and hermeneutical power as the Gospels themselves.

The whole genome of King Richard III is to be sequenced in a project led by Dr Turi King of the Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Leverhulme Trust and Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, Emeritus Professor at the University of Leicester, who discovered genetic fingerprinting.
The aim is to shed new light on the ancestry and health of the last king of England to die in battle, and provide a complete archive of information that historians, scientists and the public will be able to access and use.
Dr Turi King and colleagues plan to sequence his genome and make it freely accessible as a resource to researchers wishing to analyse and interrogate its genetic information.
Richard III will be the first ancient individual of known identity to have his genome sequenced. This new project will allow researchers to look for any other segments of DNA that these distant relatives share.
This film was produced by External Relations, University of Leicester.

Conservation is primarily underpinned by human behaviour.

The University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI) was established in October 2013 to foster this cross-disciplinary approach within the University of Cambridge. We hope these eight podcasts showcase the extent that conservation-related research is embedded in a wide range of academic fields as well as collaborating with non-academic partners and agencies external to the University.

North Africa during the Middle Stone Age
In North Africa it has been assumed that a major population change occurred in the Late Pleistocene which coincided with the cultural transition from the Middle Stone Age (MSA/Aterian) to the Later Stone Age (LSA/Iberomaurusian). The nature and timing of this cultural transition has however been the subject of intense debate. According to recent phylogenetic studies an early dispersal of M1 and U6 lineages into North Africa occurred at ∼40-45 ka (thousands of years ago), which would support a potentially ‘early’ date for this transition. Conversely, other studies have suggested multiple events with a major expansion of the U6 lineages in North Africa ∼22 ka. The latter would imply a ‘later’ age for the replacement of MSA by the LSA. Up until now it has been difficult to test such ideas dir... -

Two Hundred Years of Latin American Constitutionalism: Promises and Problems
11-02-14 Institute of Historical Research http://www.sas.ac.uk/ http://www.history.ac.uk/events/browse/15663 Roberto Gargarella (Universidad Torcuato di Tella/Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor, UCL Institute of the Americas) In this paper, I provide an analytical framework in order to understand the development of Latin America's constitutional structure -and its limits. First, I want to present the main constitutional traditions that appeared in the region since the Independence, and then examine some of the difficulties generated by the dominant constitutional model. In particular, I want to suggest that the implementation of social rights has been undermined by the absence of substantial political reforms. Latin American History -

Hanging out with the Suranga Water Harvesting Project
Our first Intrepid Science Hangout talked to Dr Richard Jones, Dr Darren Crook and Sudhir Tripathi of the Suranga Water Harvesting Project (http://www.suranga.co.uk). Richard, Darren and Sudhir spoke from Bangalore, investigating a unique Indian water harvesting system known as suranga, where horizontal tunnels are cut into the hillslopes to access groundwater; a great way for offsetting any shortfall in seasonal rainfall. The research is funded as a Leverhulme Trust project and has a host of collaborators, including local communities. The project has just started but it sounds like the first season in the field has gone really well. -

In North Africa it has been assumed that a major population change occurred in the Late Pleistocene which coincided with the
cultural transition from the Middle Stone Age (MSA/Aterian) to the Later Stone Age (LSA/Iberomaurusian). The nature and
timing of this cultural transition has however been the subject of intense debate. According to recent phylogenetic studies an
early dispersal of M1 and U6 lineages into North Africa occurred at ∼40-45 ka (thousands of years ago), which would support
a potentially ‘early’ date for this transition. Conversely, other studies have suggested multiple events with a major expansion of the U6 lineages in North Africa ∼22 ka. The latter would imply a ‘later’ age for the replacement of MSA by the LSA. Up until now it has been difficult to test such ideas directly against the archaeological record because of the absence of reliable
dating evidence from sites covering this timespan. In this paper we report on new results of work on MSA and LSA deposits from
Taforalt Cave in Morocco. We describe dates using multiple methods (OSL, TL and AMS radiocarbon) from the youngest MSA
levels that contain a Levallois flake industry with the frequent occurrence of side scrapers. The sediments are also noteworthy for the presence of rich hearth layers which contain fauna and abundant carbonised plant remains including seeds of several edible plant species, most notably grain legumes. According to present estimates the MSA lasted until at least 27-28 ka ago. ese levels are succeeded chronologically by those with a non-Levallois flake industry dating to 20.4 ka ago and a long sequence of LSA Iberomaurusian deposits beginning at 18.1 ka ago. This would tend to favour a younger replacement age model and suggests the MSA persisted later in this region than it did in Southern Africa or western Eurasia.

In this paper, I provide an analytical framework in order to understand the development of Latin America's constitutional structure -and its limits. First, I want to present the main constitutional traditions that appeared in the region since the Independence, and then examine some of the difficulties generated by the dominant constitutional model. In particular, I want to suggest that the implementation of social rights has been undermined by the absence of substantial political reforms.

Debates, dilemmas and conflicts are key to human reasoning. They help us make sense of everyday life when decisions need to be taken with inconsistent or incomplete information. This is why we expect our doctors to weigh up different courses of treatment, and why we check various online opinions before we buy anything from books to cars.
If we are ever to value the advice of machines we need to empower them to argue. This requires in particular to give them a way to reason with general rules that admit exceptions so that they know how to reconcile conflicts in general statements such as 'bird fly' (except when they don't) or it is safer to walk rather than run during a fire alarm (except when it isn't).
Francesca Toni is working on models of logic-based argumentation to underpin reasoning in intelligent machines. In her inaugural lecture she will explore challenges of arguing logically and the impact getting it right could have in medical decision making, legal judgements, design engineering and social networks.
