We learnt about the difficulties children from disadvantaged backgrounds have in school, about controlling\u00a0vibration in helicopters, security issues in Asia, the impact of pharmacist work pressures on public health and the way that media disapproval can actually boost the\u00a0business of investment banks.<\/p>\n<p>We also learnt about the mathematical modelling of the spread of contagious disease, potential early warning systems for large-scale financial meltdowns, how to teach computers to recognise shapes and how minute creatures in lakes are helping to keep biodiversity healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out over coming weeks as we work to profile some of these projects in greater detail, either through the press, through interactive digital tools or video.
