🕯️ This Halloween, we’re looking at the undead through the eyes of a scholar.
Vampire panics, grave mutilations, and ancient demons: what do they have in common?
According to Professor John Blair, Emeritus Fellow of Queen’s, quite a lot. In his new book, 'Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World', Professor Blair uncovers the dark, global history of how humans have “killed” the dead, and why these rituals often arise in times of trauma.
Far from the gothic clichés, his work reveals how belief in the “dangerous dead” reflects deep questions about grief, fear, and the boundary between life and death.
🩸 “Surely killing the dead,” he writes, “is better than killing the living.”

Infections around the lungs aren’t all the same. New research by Queen’s Stipendiary Lecturer in Medicine Dr Nikolaos Kanellakis identifies distinct biological types, helping doctors spot who needs which treatment sooner.
Why it matters: faster, better-targeted care could shorten hospital stays and reduce “just-in-case” antibiotics.

🧠Your brain keeps time 🕰️
How do different brain networks work together without talking over each other? New work in ‘Nature Neuroscience’ from Queen’s Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in Experimental Psychology Dr Mats W. J. van Es provides evidence for a fast, repeating cycle that helps organise cognition.
