Review of APHA Science 2016
Review of APHA Science 2016
Like last year we have produced an APHA Annual Science Review, which brings together the many highlights and achievements during 2016.
Scientists of the future
APHA has many national and international partners in both academia and research institutes. We also like to help young scientists get an insight into what life is like as a scientist in a government research facility like ours at Weybridge.
Rebel raccoon rehomed
One of APHA’s Mammalian Ecologists from the National Wildlife Management Centre (NWMC) talks about how she helped capture and rehome a raccoon.
Tackling bovine TB through team work
Scientists at APHA have been examining the relationship between how farmer opinion and farm practices can affect their risk of bovine tuberculosis by teaming up with researchers from universities.
Ahoy, me hearties!
APHA staff get up to many exciting and interesting things. There are all the usual activities, such as attending international conferences, working on the research bench, writing papers for journals and much more. Sometimes they also go sailing!
Maths for health
For the past 5 years APHA has held a mathematical modelling symposium at its central Research & Development facility at Weybridge. Charlotte Cook (Computational Biologist) talks about how the day went.
E. coli O55 outbreak in Dorset
As Senior Molecular Biologist at APHA, my team and I play a key role in detecting the emergence and minimising the spread of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in order to reduce the risk to human health.
APHA Science Advisory Board: Annual Review
One of the key actions taken forward in our first science strategy was to set up an APHA Science Advisory Board (SAB).
Launch of the refreshed APHA science strategy
Welcome to the new APHA science blog. This is the first post on what I hope will become the first port of call for anybody interested in what the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is doing in terms of science.
