Will the United States lose its leadership, dominance, and impact in the Sciences? And, more importantly, what can we do about it? Tune into The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine President Marcia McNutt's State of Science Address, where she examines some of the challenges and opportunities facing the U.S., such as creating a national research strategy, strengthening university and industry partnerships and improving coordination of resources for greater impact, among many others. Is it too late, or is this the right time for meaningful action? Share your thoughts in the comments. https://lnkd.in/eykUZrXB

Now discussing the MLE on citizen science at #ECSA2024 - #CitizenScience at the heart for #research and #innovation - Vad behöver vi i Sverige för att stödja bibehålla och skala upp arbetet med #medborgarforskning ? ----- https://lnkd.in/dwb2YQtc "Embedding #CitizenScience at the national level can help to achieve greater societal impact and increase trust in science through the leveraging of collective societal capabilities and insights, and to enlarge the scope and impact of #Research and #Innovation through increased societal relevance, responsiveness and transparency." "In order to bring #Science and #Society more closely together in this way, setting a clear national vision for Citizen Science is essential, which can be anchored in the national strategy for #OpenScience, which in turn underpins many of the enabling conditions for #CitizenScience." #öppenvetenskap Kungliga biblioteket Vetenskapsrådet / Swedish Research Council Regeringskansliet, Utbildningsdepartementet Vinnova Forte Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSFKK-stiftelsen, Formas, ett forskningsråd för hållbar utveckling m.fl. #Fopol #forskningspolitik "MLE participants developed several recommendations. One is to ensure that all #citizenscience practitioners in academia, society, policy & the private sector are supported by a #nationalnetwork of practitioners." -> Hur får vi till detta till Sverige?

"The center is home to the “Broader Impacts Toolkit.” This resource includes a Guiding Principles document for BI, a BI planning checklist, the BI Wizard and a BI Project Rubric, which acts as a roadmap for researchers to follow when describing the societal impact of their proposed project — a key component in successful projects that receive funding from the NSF." #broaderimpacts #BI

An important article by Marcia McNutt, president of the National Academy of Sciences! The title is ''Keeping America “Science Strong”. She emphasizes several key suggestions for leadership in science: 1. Improve K-12 Education 2. Reduce Red Tape 3. Create a National Research Strategy 4. Modernize University–Industry Partnerships 5. Ensure Access to Major Research Facilities 6. Build Public Support for Science Some statements from the article on international students/researchers & collaborations: ''While US colleges and universities are still world class, a large fraction of graduate students (more than 1 in 3) and postdocs (more than half) in science, engineering, and medicine are international students...'' ''Even at the bachelor’s degree level, a full one-fifth of the S&E workforce in America is foreign-born ...'' ''Fifty years ago, it was possible for an individual university to host a major research facility, such as a particle accelerator or a telescope. Today, the frontiers of science have been advanced so far beyond what they were then that it takes an entire nation, or more likely, many nations working together to build, maintain, and get maximum benefit from a major science facility...''   https://lnkd.in/etKXgXD4

Exploring the Past, Shaping the Future - it's British Science Week! 🚀 As we delve into British Science Week, we're taking the time to reflect on the monumental contributions of British scientists throughout history. Read here 👉 https://bit.ly/3IDVP8E The echoes of British brilliance reverberate through the corridors of time. It's astounding to think that without our British pioneers, the world would look starkly different. The ripple effects of their work continue to expand, influencing advances in technology, medicine, and beyond. During this week, we not only celebrate their past achievements but also turn our gaze towards future horizons. We invest in education, support emerging scientists, and inspire the next generation to ask the 'what ifs' that could unlock tomorrow's answers. 🌟 Your thoughts? What's that one British scientific innovation you believe has shaped the world the most? Comment below! #BritishScienceWeek #BritishScientists #STEMInnovation
