The desirability, and even duty, of researchers to be advocates

by Gabriele Bammer

The desirability, and even duty, of researchers to be advocates is discussed by Alison Ritter in her blog post at https://i2insights.org/2022/03/22/researcher-and-advocate/. Should researchers be advocates contributing to a more democratic endeavour of empowering as well as speaking on behalf of marginalised communities? Should academic advocacy just be about research translation or also advocate for policy change through campaigning, protest, boycotts etc? Should academics as advocates move beyond selling the evidence to critically reflecting on whose collective interests are being served? Do universities need to move beyond supporting advocacy of research evidence to a broader view of advocacy that supports democracy & communities? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Great example of knowledge synthesis and supporting better decision making through agent based modelling and serious games

by Gabriele Bammer

Great example of knowledge synthesis and supporting better decision making through agent based modelling and serious games by Jen Badham in her revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2019/06/25/agent-based-modelling-uses/. Key aspects are: 1) world is represented in a natural way 2) stakeholders decide what is important to represent 3) can try different approaches & see consequences of actions which facilitates productive discussions and 4) gain understanding of other perspectives & problems which increases willingness to compromise & find proposals that work for all. See also the great discussion. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

[3/21] CSPO Breakfast Seminar: Preliminary Results from U.S. Public Engagement Forums on Human Gene Editing

by Mahmud Farooque

Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University: Breakfast Seminar<https://cspo.org/new-tools-for-science-policy/> Framing Our Biological Futures: Preliminary Results from U.S. Public Engagement Forums<https://cspo.org/event/ntsp032122/> March 21, 2022 9:00am—10:00am (In person and Virtual) Genome editing techniques have rapidly advanced in the past two decades. Recently, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has made this technology more accessible, precise, and less expensive. This has opened the door for wider use, but also raised many questions about ethics, morality, risk, and inequalities. How should this suite of technologies be used? Under what conditions? How should it be governed? The scientific community alone cannot answer these questions. Arizona State University, Baylor College of Medicine and the Museum of Science, with funding from the National Institutes of Health and additional support from Kettering Foundation, worked with experts and stakeholders to create a series of informed national citizen deliberations<https://cspo.org/research/gene-editing/genome-deliberations/> around the ethics and governance of genome editing. These deliberations with diverse members of the general public held in Boston, Phoenix, Waco and online in Fall 2021, offer early insight into the public values around the future opportunities and challenges with these technologies. On March 21, join the project team as they share preliminary insights and results gathered from these national deliberations and launch a broader conversation about how these results and public engagement approaches can inform research, engagement and governance of human gene editing. Please note the location: American Geophysical Union, 2000 Florida Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20009. Policies: * Doors open at 8:30am to the public. * Attendees are required to wear masks for the entire duration of the program except while eating and drinking. * Attendees must be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination with ID at check-in. Register: * In-Person Registration<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/framing-our-biological-futures-tickets-2947078…> * Virtual Registration<https://asu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FtdAnxToQLq7_8jCNZWe5w> Speakers: Cynthia Selin, Associate Professor, School of Sustainability and School for the Future of Innovation in Society, Arizona State University Christopher Scott, Dalton Tomlin Chair of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, Baylor College of Medicine David Tomblin, Director, Science, Technology and Society Program, A.

4 key aspects of transdisciplinary research

by Gabriele Bammer

4 key aspects of transdisciplinary research are described by David Lam and colleagues in https://i2insights.org/2022/03/15/integrating-key-aspects-of-transdisciplin…. They are 1) context dependencies including a) who is involved b) social, cultural, political etc factors c) research setting; 2) innovative formats that structure transdisciplinary processes & are adapted to context eg Real World Labs; 3) societal effects ie change in short- & long- term plus at local & larger scales eg learning & changes in practices; 4) scientific effects ie changes in structure of research problems, research practices, results & scientific institutions. Integration of context, formats & outcomes is missing in transdisciplinary research. Ways forward include strengthening interconnections & synergies, developing quality criteria & building capacity. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Large-scale research consortia need specific organisation, management and collaboration opportunities

by Gabriele Bammer

Large-scale research consortia need specific organisation, management and collaboration opportunities, as described by Bruce Currie-Alder and Georgina Cundill Kemp in their revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2019/07/09/supporting-research-consortia/. Organising requires 1) partners who bring unique complementary skills 2) ability to accommodate diversity in skills, resources, cultures etc 3) diverse forms of recognition, 4) capacity building between generations & institutions 5) careful attention to accountability, 6) knowledge platforms to foster identity & transparency. Managing requires balance between co-ordination & autonomy, plus funding to strengthen leadership at different levels. Collaboration requires multiple opportunities to partner that can evolve over time, plus organisational & individual budget & time for unexpected synergies. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org<http://i2insights.org/> CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
