England鈥檚 Bayeux Tapestry at the centre of new heritage trail of Shropshire鈥檚 historic churches 14 December 2018 Following research on remarkable medieval wall paintings at a village church in Shropshire, described as England鈥檚 Bayeux Tapestry, a University of Bristol academic and her team have created a new heritage trail around the local area.
University to launch new interdisciplinary antimicrobial resistance research network 14 November 2018 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global health emergency with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimating that 'superbugs' will kill 1.3 million people in Europe by 2050, including more than 90,000 in the UK, unless we can halt the rise in antibiotic-resistant infections. The University of Bristol is committed to tackling this global challenge and today [Wednesday 14 November] a new cross-faculty and interdisciplinary AMR research network will be launched, funded by the University's Elizabeth Blackwell Institute (EBI).
No evidence that dehorning black rhinos negatively impacts the species鈥� reproduction or survival, study finds 21 September 2022 There are no statistically significant differences in key factors of population growth - breeding, birth, survival, life span and death - between dehorned or horned black rhinos new research, conducted by the University of Bristol Vet School, Namibian Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, and Save the Rhino Trust has found.
To float or not to float? Mystery solved as to why algae balls float and sink 20 August 2018 Scientists from the University of Bristol have uncovered the age-old mystery of why marimo algae balls sink at night and float during the day.
Risk of blood clots remains for almost a year after COVID-19 infection, study suggests 20 September 2022 COVID-19 infection increases the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots for at least 49 weeks, according to a new study of health records of 48 million unvaccinated adults from the first wave of the pandemic.
More adults are using complementary and alternative medicine in England but access is unequal, finds survey 14 November 2018 Use of practitioner-led complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), such as acupuncture, massage, osteopathy and chiropractic treatment, rose from 12 per cent of the population in 2005 to 16 per cent of the population in 2015, according to a survey led by researchers at the University of Bristol's Centre for Academic Primary Care. However, access to these treatments was unequal, with women, those who are better off and those in the south of England more likely to use CAM.
拢3 million for major research study into UK greenhouse gas emissions 13 December 2018 A study to develop new methods for evaluating the UK鈥檚 greenhouse gas emissions using atmospheric observations has been awarded 拢3M by NERC.
