Molecular gymnastics in DNA replication

DNA replication – the copying of DNA – is one of the key processes occurring in all living cells. The accurate replication of DNA requires the coordination of more than 30 proteins. Together, these proteins form the replication system called the replisome. Through decades of research, the individual roles of each of the proteins are quite well characterised. However, the dynamic behaviours of the proteins and their coordination within the replisome complex remain poorly understood.

Thinking sociologically about COVID-19

COVID-19 is a global public health and economic crisis. The risk to any one person or country is shared with all others, such that we are morally required to act together: self-interest and common interest align. Effective management of the pandemic requires a coordinated international response. The interdependence of humans and of their social systems, now thrown into unpleasantly sharp relief, is a fundamental starting point for sociologists.
