The transition into higher education stretches students socially, academically and within their personal lives requiring adaptation and development of resilience. For many, such demands may lead to decreased mental well-being and, for some, mental il

“Graduate attributes” are widely believed to be important in developing the scientific skill-set, with generic skills being viewed as more important than discipline-specific qualities. Importantly, students need opportunities to think and practic

The genes MBD1 and MBD2 encode methyl-CpG binding proteins that suppress transcription from methylated promoters. In contrast, CGBP encodes a protein that binds promoters containing unmethylated CpG and stimulates transcription. All three are located
