and engagement </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>We live in a time of significant global challenges. The term polycrisis has emerged as we face wide-reaching and impactful issues such as the climate, war and conflict, and health. To address these challenges, we will need political will, global collaboration, inter- multi- and transdisciplinary approaches, systems thinking and scientific breakthroughs at scale. Science and scientists have an important role to play as societies tackle these challenges and lay foundations for actions that will direct the course of the future. It is possible to argue that science that engages effectively with society will depend on the sharing, uptake and accessibility of scientific knowledge and insight, but also on the way that science is designed and co-designed in ways that reflect excellence and the aspirations and expectations of societies. </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-making-sense-of-science-in-the-21st-century-trust-repair-dialogue-and-engagement" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-cancelling-reason-and-evidence" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1081x1081" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Cancelling reason and evidence" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg" width="1081" height="1081" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732051290295-WABTM7F2OLHOPIPW3O4H/Saths%2BCooper.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-cancelling-reason-and-evidence" data-no-animation> Cancelling reason and evidence </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>In what may be termed a Post-Covid Ongoing Stress Era (POSE), the appeal to reason and scientific knowledge, as we’ve understood these, seems all but <em>cancelled.</em> </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-cancelling-reason-and-evidence" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-trust-in-science-but-for-how-long" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732094193252-LGOOLCCX9Y9GOG6GBIDD/Cyrus-Walther-lg.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732094193252-LGOOLCCX9Y9GOG6GBIDD/Cyrus-Walther-lg.jpg" data-image-dimensions="650x650" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Trust in Science?

Simultaneously, people are losing trust in both science and those studying and researching these challenges. Still, we need those scientists from all fields and backgrounds more than ever to work in inter- and multidisciplinary ways, solving these challenges and having their insights assist politicians and decision-makers. It is apparent that the scientific community has to foster trust in science. But how do we ensure that efforts to build trust in science are sustainable and that trust in science remains integrated in the community for the next decades to come?

Today’s challenges introduces significant diversity across key dimensions of human existence, including history, culture, politics, societies and economics. Furthermore, there is considerable diversity among scientific sub-communities regarding how we know what we know and how to design actionable solutions. The social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and medical fields are acculturated into science in widely varying ways, often complicating communication and collaboration. Yet, most challenges we face inherently require collaboration. </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-making-sense-of-science-in-the-21st-century-an-opinion-piece" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-rebuilding-trust-and-embracing-diverse-knowledge-systems-a-perspective-from-developing-countries" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg" data-image-dimensions="512x512" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Rebuilding trust and embracing diverse knowledge systems: A perspective from developing countries&nbsp;" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg" width="512" height="512" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732048847012-XJZP0V0D0ICI7S6K810W/Yousuf%2BAl%2BBulushi.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-rebuilding-trust-and-embracing-diverse-knowledge-systems-a-perspective-from-developing-countries" data-no-animation> Rebuilding trust and embracing diverse knowledge systems: A perspective from developing countries </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>In many developing countries, the role of science in policy-making and public life is often argued, undervalued, or sidelined in favour of more immediate, pragmatic approaches. Faced with urgent challenges such as poverty, health crises, food security, and geopolitical issues, governments and communities frequently rely on diverse knowledge systems and prioritise solutions that offer quick, tangible benefits. In these contexts, science is just one of many sources of knowledge, and it is often not the most trusted or influential in shaping policy decisions. As a result, the conventional approaches to promoting trust in science and science’s societal impact need to be rethought from a perspective that acknowledges local realities and values. </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-rebuilding-trust-and-embracing-diverse-knowledge-systems-a-perspective-from-developing-countries" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-the-more-ai-the-less-understanding" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg" data-image-dimensions="450x450" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="The more AI, the less understanding?" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg" width="450" height="450" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1732097174713-7OPLT29F41RBBNW1NSXO/roger-highfield.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">11/20/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-the-more-ai-the-less-understanding" data-no-animation> The more AI, the less understanding? </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>In the hyperbole about artificial intelligence, there have been claims about how AI, in the guise of large language models, can plausibly, confidently and succinctly summarise complex science, accompanied by warnings about its propensity for bias, factual inaccuracies and, most notoriously, to ‘hallucinate’ fake references.

But science itself is a bubble operating with a partial logic. I am talking here of what makes scientists do what they do, investigate certain topics (and not others), and take decisions for their professional careers. Hyper-specialisation has become a useful tool to keep the dynamic of publication-grant-publication running, and that is what defines a good scientific career. Are we sure this logic is enough to serve societal purposes in the 21st century? </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-science-for-a-second-chance" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-the-importance-of-open-access-to-scholarly-scientific-knowledge-science-advice-and-national-science-advice-mechanisms-in-building-trust-in-science" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg" data-image-dimensions="475x475" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="The importance of open access to scholarly scientific knowledge, science advice and national science advice mechanisms in building trust in science" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg" width="475" height="475" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1729600486693-JM1OPJMWCC2A6SVTJQ66/Remi%2BQuirion.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">10/22/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">10/22/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-the-importance-of-open-access-to-scholarly-scientific-knowledge-science-advice-and-national-science-advice-mechanisms-in-building-trust-in-science" data-no-animation> The importance of open access to scholarly scientific knowledge, science advice and national science advice mechanisms in building trust in science </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>In recent years, UNESCO has played a leadership role in promoting open science. The <a href="https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379949">2021 Declaration on Global Open Access</a> to scientific publications is a prime example of this commitment. UNESCO has championed the notion of immediate and cost-free access to scientific literature, often referred to as the ‘Diamond model’, where neither the authors nor the readers bear any costs. The Diamond model is one among many with other examples of open access being developed in various parts of the world. Several nations and organizations have adopted open access policies using a diversity of models. Quebec’s Research Fund (FRQ) signed the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and actively supports Coalition S, advocating for free access to scientific publications in all languages independent of the open access model. While these efforts are laudable, they remain insufficient. We must move to the next phase: measuring compliance and understanding the impact of open access initiatives. Open access is still not secured and policy support to all and any open access model still needs to be implemented by many governments, funders, and institutions that still allow the use of public funds to pay for closed and paywalled science.</p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-the-importance-of-open-access-to-scholarly-scientific-knowledge-science-advice-and-national-science-advice-mechanisms-in-building-trust-in-science" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-framing-public-research-investment-decisions-for-the-policy-community" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg" data-image-dimensions="2000x1334" data-image-focal-point="0.40719875750093043,0.6865504335127018" alt="Framing public research investment decisions for the policy community" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg" width="2000" height="1334" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)224.88755622188904vw,112.44377811094452vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 40.719875750093045% 68.65504335127018%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726831185852-V8GH48D8NMRO7D4X44NR/Hema-Sridhar-and-Sir-Peter-Gluckman-scaled-e1713829479179.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/20/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/20/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-framing-public-research-investment-decisions-for-the-policy-community" data-no-animation> Framing public research investment decisions for the policy community </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>The human rights case can be made for Open Science – this has been made clear by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in its General Comment No. 25 on science and economic, social, and cultural rights. In this this much-awaited interpretation of the so-called right to science under Art. 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the Committee made clear that Open Science forms part of the right to science in the digital era. Released during the Covid-19 pandemic, the timing could not have been better, for the pandemic not only illustrated in unprecedented ways the importance of science in today’s world, but also the advantages of open research practices in speeding up scientific discovery. Yet, does this legal development mean that access to scientific data and content can now be enforced before courts via the right to science? A closer look reveals that important hurdles in claiming Open Science via the right to science remain. In this short contribution, our aim is to highlight some selected challenges of implementing and adjudicating open research practices via the right to science. </p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-framing-public-research-investment-decisions-for-the-policy-community" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-completing-the-puzzle-bridging-the-gaps-by-building-a-resilient-future-through-science-missions-for-sustainability" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg" data-image-dimensions="960x960" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Completing the puzzle: Bridging the gaps by building a resilient future through science missions for sustainability" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg" width="960" height="960" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1726161463144-3RUQ6TOAUAGWZCFVZK7Q/Salvatore-horizontal-e1658491848298.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/13/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/13/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-completing-the-puzzle-bridging-the-gaps-by-building-a-resilient-future-through-science-missions-for-sustainability" data-no-animation> Completing the puzzle: Bridging the gaps by building a resilient future through science missions for sustainability </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>Sandrine Dixson-Declève rightly denounces the slowness of the pace of work and the deliberations of the COP process in face of the climate crisis. She also says, again rightly so, that the science of climate change is clear, hence the sluggishness of the decision-making process on climate change appears particularly striking. I am paraphrasing Dixson-Declève’s piece, but I think I have it right: we need to act yesterday, we know enough and the current process is not fit for the outcomes we need. If my reading of her piece is correct, I fully endorse her plea for a decision-making process that does justice to the urgent and determined action we must take: reversing the course of adverse changes in our life-supporting climate system.</p></div> </div> <a class="blog-more-link" href="/content/commentary-completing-the-puzzle-bridging-the-gaps-by-building-a-resilient-future-through-science-missions-for-sustainability" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> <div> <a href="/content/commentary-whither-science-advice" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> <img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg" data-image-dimensions="592x592" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Whither science advice" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg" width="592" height="592" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)150vw,75vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f02c5e22af67762d729af7c/1724408738832-GX5IYNGAR78GAZTISNG0/Sir%2BPeter%2BGluckman%2Bvertical_cropped.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </a> </div> <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> <div class="blog-meta-section"> <span class="blog-meta-primary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/13/24</time> </span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-delimiter blog-category-delimiter"></span> <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> <span class="blog-categories-list"> <a href="/content/category/Commentaries" class="blog-categories">Commentaries</a> </span> <span class="blog-author">Dominique Elizabeth Taylor-Dowson</span> <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">9/13/24</time> </span> </div> <h1 class="blog-title"> <a href="/content/commentary-whither-science-advice" data-no-animation> Whither science advice </a> </h1> <div class="blog-excerpt"> <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p>The International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) was formed in 2014 under the sponsorship of the International Council of Science’s (ICSU, now the International Science Council (ISC)).

The discussion focused on identifying the issues that challenged the provision of effective science advice to governments, a process which was very patchy across the globe.
