[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/71/204fa93028192793e2409c.jpg]Over the last few weeks, colleagues across the University have been working hard to plan for the coming academic year.

[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/da/9a0794884d03b8c0e298bc.jpg]Public Health Scotland (PHS) has collaborated with Higher Education Institutions to create a comprehensive repository for COVID-19 Research in Scotland<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/2o2cd7wp8qlxru4xfpp9cz/external?email=true&a=5&p=59794322&t=31139365>.
The repository, which contains research about COVID-19 in Scotland in a range of formats, is a fully accessible and searchable digital resource.
The creation of a fully searchable COVID-19 Research Repository reduces duplication of effort and makes research easier for policymakers, researchers and the public to find and use.

Watch the time lapse video
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v2files/shard1/85313/36/0689b4604025a89673700f.jpg]Last month we outlined our plans to name the two Wings of our flagship Learning and Teaching building after Professor Mary Dunn and Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell.
We have now announced that we will honour a third leading figure following our consultation: the award-winning poet and author, Professor Jackie Kay CBE.
A focal point of the new building is the interface between the two Wings, which will host important events and gatherings and this space will now be known as the Professor Jackie Kay Plaza.
Take at look this new time lapse video, beginning in Spring 2019 when construction began on the building and created using hundreds of thousands of images captured over two years.

The important role metabolites play in understanding COVID-19 severity
Researchers studying COVID-19 patients have found a metabolic pathway that is highly correlated with immune responses only in male patients, who are known to be more likely to suffer severe cases and die of the disease, representing a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
In a study published in the journal Science Signaling<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/n5f72dq3v4vxru4xfpp9cz/external?email=true&a=5&p=59794322&t=31139333>, the authors report that male COVID-19 patients were more likely than female patients or healthy control subjects to have elevated levels of kynurenic acid, a product of amino acid metabolism.
Dr Nicholas Rattray, a Chancellor’s Fellow with Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, was a partner in the research, involved in the formulation and design of the study and analysis of data.

Five ways ‘green’ carbon policies damage forests <https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/16bjby4qlz9xru4xfpp9cz/external?email=true&a=1&p=59794322&t=31139333>
And how we can fix the problem
With COP26 in Glasgow later this year, Jessica Vian, a PhD researcher at Strathclyde Business School in the department of Work, Employment and Organisation, takes a timely look at carbon policies and how they can actually cause harm to ecosystems.
Carbon, she says, has overshadowed forests in climate policies, leading to practices that appear to be “green” while harming forest ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
