Open access An exploration of science and technology studies in eight different places, and the possibilities that arise for observation, intervention, and collaboration. Where does science and technology studies (STS) belong? In?A Place for Science and Technology Studies, Jane Calvert takes readers through eight different rooms—the laboratory, the conference room, the classroom, the coffee room, the art studio, the bioethics building, the policy room, and the ivory tower—investigating the possibilities and limitations of each for STS research.? Drawing from over a decade of work in synthetic biology, Calvert explores three different orientations for STS—observation, intervention, and collaboration—to ask whether there is a place for STS, which, as an undisciplined field, often finds itself on the periphery of traditional institutions or dependent on more generously funded STEM disciplines.Using examples of failures and successes and tackling enduring concerns about the relations between social scientific researchers and their fields of study, Calvert argues for an approach to STS that is collaborative yet allows for autonomy. https://lnkd.in/d5iQcqCw

WEEKEND READ | Increasing the supply of affordable rental housing is one option to help alleviate Australia’s housing crisis. Peyman Jafary (one of our PhD students) has developed a model to help identify areas most suitable to construct apartment/unit buildings, which he tested on the Melbourne Metropolitan area. Leveraging a hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Machine Learning (GA-ML) framework, Peyman and his co-authors ranked Melbourne’s 105 suburbs, based on key parameters for builders/investors and renters: ? Maximising economic outlook and rental yields for builders/investors ? Minimising rents and commuting distance for renters ? Maximising proximity to essential amenities for renters. The suburbs most suitable for development included Brunswick, Coburg, Preston and Reservoir. Peyman recently presented the model and findings at the ISPRS - International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing – Commission IV Symposium 2024 in Perth, where he received the Best Younger Researcher Award Honorary Mention. Congratulations Peyman! His paper is called: Data-driven Strategies for Affordable Housing: A Hybrid General Algorithm-Machine Learning Optimization Model in the Melbourne Metropolitan Area. You can read it on our website: https://lnkd.in/ghyPDEXS Davood Shojaei Sara Pishgahi Abbas Rajabifard Tuan Ngo #housingaffordability #multiobjectiveoptimization #machinelearning #geneticalgorithm

Decentralized science (DeSci) is transforming the landscape of scientific research, making it more accessible, transparent, and collaborative. This innovative approach has the potential to accelerate scientific discovery by addressing the inefficiencies and challenges of traditional academic publishing and research funding models. Through DeSci, we can collectively learn, grow, and elevate the standard of living for all.

Every day I advocate for the value of public contributions in research. My team, and the researchers we work with are trying to ensure that every visitor to We The Curious has the opportunity to contribute to research projects and ideas. Today we are happy to have contributed to this report from Campaign for Science and Engineering that also concludes that 'involving the public can lead to better R&D'. We cant get the best outcomes from research unless everyone is represented. https://lnkd.in/eA7vxwnJ

Here is the article link: https://lnkd.in/eeGa4fsS One aspect of my group’s effort is to visualize molecular phenomenon and achieving this, for example, by developing a physical model of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces through spectroscopic probes and other analytical techniques. Understanding is merely concluded if we can’t also visualize it or explain to others. In tune with this goal, students are encouraged to develop an illustration of the key takeaway. This cover was created through interactions within the group: the lead author sharing thoughts and brainstorming with another student who has tangible technical background. The results are almost always greater than the sum and both continue with greater experiences. This is a true group effort and was selected for cover. Here, the focus was to capture the contents of the study rather than a specific mechanism unraveled.
Cover is out for our #EFRC_4C research article! Created by Miguel Antonio Mu?oz Sánchez, lucky to have him as a PhD student in the group; beautifully synergizes his technical and artistic skills! https://lnkd.in/e9G7CmCU

What is ICOR's purpose? Well quite simply, ICOR is looking to shift the Research Lifecycle from RED to GREEN. We want to bring together the open science community and build upon existing efforts that challenge the status quo, where the research cycle occurs in closed RED settings, we aim to contribute a roadmap toward open GREEN opportunities. We hope do this by learning from one and other and championing more research on open science.

"Public-facing science-communication work should adhere to the same research-integrity principles that are used for scholarly publications, and suggests that universities should support scientists who do so." "In journal articles, researchers describe the methods used to obtain their findings and whether, for example, animals or artificial-intelligence tools were used in experiments; they explain how a finding fits in with the current knowledge in a field and declare conflicts of interest," writes Rhys Morgan, head of research policy, governance and integrity at the University of Cambridge, UK in a report published last month by the League of European Research Universities (LERU), a network of 24 institutions. "Morgan proposes that public-facing science-communication work should adhere to the same research-integrity principles that are used for scholarly publications, and suggests that universities should support scientists who do so."
