Abstract: At think, we like to think of research as akin to Janus, the two-headed Roman god of beginnings, transitions, and portals (well, doorways). With one head looking to the past and the other looking forward, he reminds us that for research to flourish, it must draw inspiration from the past while looking ahead to drive innovation.2020-01-01T00:00:00ZWipe your shoes and clean your mask/library/oar/handle/123456789/672132021-02-04T07:30:31Z2020-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Wipe your shoes and clean your mask

Abstract: Aviation has delivered worldwide social and economic benefits. This has come at a price. Aviation contributes to roughly 2% of all global emissions. However, pre-Covid-19, the industry experienced a growth rate of approximately 5% per annum. Despite the current slowdown, the industry has time and again shown resilience, and it should recover in a few years. The industry might take this period as an opportunity to clean up its act.2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
