The highest-energy photons in the sky, from gamma-ray bursts, pulsars and active galactic nuclei. Detected by satellites and by ground arrays that catch the air showers the photons produce.
The digestive tract and the liver: inflammation, malignancy, and the microbial ecology of the gut.
The past examined through gender: how femininity, masculinity and the relations between them were made and remade.
Topological spaces in the abstract: open sets, compactness, connectedness, convergence.
The study of heredity, genes, and variation in living organisms.
The study of whole genomes rather than single genes: sequencing them, comparing them across species, and working out what the non-coding majority does.
The chemical composition of the Earth and the reactions that shape it, from mineral formation to the cycling of elements through rock, ocean and atmosphere.
Dating rocks and events, mostly by radiometric decay. It is what turns a sequence of layers into an actual timeline.
Measuring the shape of the Earth, its gravity field, and how both change: the reference frame that satellite positioning and every map depend on.
Place, space and the relationship between them: what is where, why it is there, and how physical and human processes shape each other across a landscape.
The computing side of geography: spatial data, the systems that store and query it, and the analysis that turns coordinates into an argument.
The solid Earth: the rocks it is made of, the processes that shape them, and the history those rocks record.
The study of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
Landforms and the processes that build and wear them down: rivers, slopes, glaciers, coasts and wind.
The physics of the Earth: its interior structure, its magnetic and gravitational fields, and the waves that travel through it.
Power read through geography: territory, resources, chokepoints and location as forces in international politics.
The ground as a structural material: soil and rock mechanics, foundations, slopes and retaining walls.
Medicine for the old: multiple conditions at once, frailty, cognitive decline, and the drugs that interact badly in an aging body.
German as an object of study: its grammar, its history, and the dialect continuum behind the standard language.
The Germanic branch of Indo-European: English, German, Dutch, the Scandinavian languages and their older stages.
