Abstract:
Victoria Cowling received her BA from the University of Cambridge. She completed her PhD with Julian Downward and Gerard Evan at Cancer Research UK in London, and then moved to the US for a postdoctoral position at Princeton University and Dartmouth College with Michael Cole. Since 2008, she has been running a lab at Dundee University. She is an MRC Senior Research Fellow, a Lister Institute Research Fellow and an EMBO Young Investigator and, in 2015, she was the first recipient of the Women in Cell Biology medal, awarded by the British Society for Cell Biology.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...
Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...
