Navigating the Science System: Research Integrity and Academic Survival Strategies - Science and Engineering Ethics
Research Integrity (RI) is high on the agenda of both institutions and science policy. The European Union as well as national ministries of science have launched ambitious initiatives to combat misconduct and breaches of research integrity. Often, such initiatives entail attempts to regulate scientific behavior through guidelines that institutions and academic communities can use to more easily identify and deal with cases of misconduct. Rather than framing misconduct as a result of an informat…

new research on how covid gets into cells
We already knew that the covid virus can get into cells via the ACE2 receptor.
Some cells don't have that receptor, yet the viruses still get into them - how?
"Here, we identified the transferrin receptor (TfR) as another receptor that mediates SARS-CoV-2 entry by directly binding to the virus spike protein with high affinity."
That might sound bad - but it's good that we know! Could point to treatments.

I'm all for institutions to "take responsibility for conducting integrity checks and providing validation to the journals"
If they actually take over the journals as well via university presses or university led journals. If journals can't handle all of this (#AddedValue!) maybe we should give that responsibility back to where it belongs...

When Women Ask, Does Curiosity Help?
This research examines the potential social benefits of displaying curiosity during a negotiation. Past research has found women who ask directly in distributive agentic settings can suffer negative social consequences and obtain worse objective outcomes compared to men. In three experiments (N = 600) using different negotiation contexts, we found men and women who approach negotiations with curiosity reap the same economic benefits of asking directly but without incurring a social cost.

Automatic screening tools such as plagiarism scanners play an increasing role in journals’ efforts to detect and prevent violations of research integrity. More than just neutral technological means, these tools constitute normatively charged instruments for governance.

Long Covid "brain fog" research
"It’s the first time anyone’s shown that long COVID patients can have leaky blood brain barriers, says study coauthor Matthew Campbell, a geneticist at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. That barrier, tightly knit cells lining blood vessels, typically keeps riffraff out of the brain, like bouncers guarding a nightclub."

covid & handwashing
"The detection rate of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from the hands of healthy individuals was extremely low, and no viable viruses were detected. These results suggest that the risk of contact transmission via hands in a community setting is extremely rare."

Scientists develop composite accelerometer for extreme environments
The demand for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resilient to harsh environments is growing. Silicon-based MEMS struggle under extreme conditions, limited by their performance at elevated temperatures. Silicon carbide (SiC) stands out as a promising solution, offering unmatched thermal, electrical, and mechanical advantages for creating enduring MEMS.
