When you want cool down in a hurry, these are the drinks to reach for.

Our researchers are at the forefront of global innovation, and they are actively addressing real-world problems with their pioneering research. Experts from our Mathematical Sciences Department have contributed statistical analysis in the SPARRA project. What is the SPARRA project? The SPARRA (Scottish Patients at Risk of Re-admission) project is a machine-learning based tool to predict individualised risk of emergency hospital admission for essentially the entire population of Scotland. The project was first developed by NHS Scotland's Information Services Division and in a recent collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute the model has been updated and extended using state of the art machine learning and artificial intelligence methods.

PARIS, France — French-Austrian drugmaker Valneva's vaccine candidate against chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus that causes occasional outbreaks across the world, showed promising results in a large new trial, a study said on Tuesday. While the results were hailed as good news in the fight against chikungunya, the trial was carried out on people in the United States where the virus is extremely rare, with experts saying more research was needed. There are currently no vaccines or treatments available for the virus, which causes fever and sometimes debilitating joint pain, though it is rarely fatal.
