THE ORIGIN AND IMPACT OF COLOUR CATEGORIES IN THOUGHT AND LANGUAGE (CATEGORIES)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
This proposal outlines a cutting-edge five year project which will push the frontiers of colour category research, and will resonate throughout the cognitive and social sciences. Humans can discriminate millions of colours (Zeki, 1993), yet language refers to colour using a number of discrete categories (e.g., red, green, blue). These colour categories are also present in ‘thought’ (e.g., in col ...

The genetic basis of division of labor: testing the “reproductive groundplan hypothesis” in ants (GENELAB)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"The evolution and maintenance of cooperation in the face of inevitable conflicts, is regarded as one of the major questions in biology today. Answering this question requires understanding both the proximate basis of cooperative behavior and its comparative biology, but studies integrating experimental and comparative approaches are rare. Social insects are one of the pinnacles of sociality, with ...

Reductive Transformations of Carbon Oxides (RTCO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
The development of new approaches to the activation and functionalisation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is a highly topical and significant challenge for chemistry. The use of biomass and coal derived carbon monoxide as a fundamental building block for simple organic molecules is a key objective in energy research, and the latter, coupled with global warming considerations, dictate that ne ...
