In this RCBB Research Seminar Series talk Prof Helen L. Ball (Durham University) will present her current research under the title "Understanding Infant Sleep – the view from Anthropology".
Come along to our make do and mend workshop where you can learn how to do basic repairs to your clothing.
Join us as we attend the Great British Beach Clean event in West Kirby, run by the Marine Conservation Society.
The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team at LJMU are holding a number of cycling based activities and events throughout the year.
The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team at LJMU are litter picking around campus, keeping our city and estate clean for our community.
Type Iax supernovae: Extreme thermonuclear explosions
Despite a long history of preserving plants in herbariums, medicinal plants are often underrepresented in public-facing educational institutions such as museums. The Speculative Herbarium intertwines scientific practices used behind the scenes in herbaria with visual art and poetry, offering an insight into the important preservation work occurring in herbaria.
LJMU staff and postgraduate research students are warmly invited to the next Disabled Researchers Network project event, 'Community and Connection', on 25th July (online).
Academics and practitioners interested in integrated care across the Liverpool City Region are encouraged to attend the inaugural event on Wednesday 10 July.
A neutron star binary merges somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 1000 seconds, creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum. The transformative coincident gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 gave invaluable insights into these cataclysmic collisions and fundamental astrophysics. However, despite our high expectations, we have failed to see any other event like it. In this talk, I will highlight what we can learn from other observations of mergers seen directly in gravitational waves or indirectly as a gamma-ray burst and/or kilonova. I will also discuss the diversity in electromagnetic and gravitational-wave emission we can expect for future mergers and showcase tools to help maximally extract physics from existing and future observations.
