Update. See the Open Letter to Congress Demanding the Restoration of the National Science Board.
https://www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter-to-congress/

The letter is hosted by Stand Up For Science. It was initially signed by “elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine [#NASEM], in their personal capacities” and is open to supporting signatures from the public.

I just signed it and hope you will sign too.

Functions and Criteria for a New Center for Paleoenvironmental Records of Extreme Events: Report Release Webinar

(Apologies, I can only do limited posting of the remainder of today's workshop) Going on now: Panel 2: Perspectives about Journals, Editors, and Publishers. Currently addressing an audience question about what their integrity budget-per-article is - all agree prevention is best. #NASEM

Elisabeth Bik Apr 24

After our panel with Ivan Oransky, Leif Nelson, and myself in which we talked about Fraud Detection and Prevention, the next speaker is @[email protected] with "Lessons from Psychology’s Replication Crisis". Transparency is great! But it is not enough. We need to check and ask questions. #NASEM

US: Results provenance also records who collected the data. AsCollected will show the data in tables, in two versions, for authors and for readers. With our extensive experience at @[email protected], we think this will prevent fraud. It provides dates/names that can be checked. #NASEM

Elisabeth Bik Apr 23

After lunch break at @[email protected] Workshop on Enhancing Scientific Integrity, Pamela Davis-Kean will talk about 'Synthesis and Looking Ahead to Day 2'. We talked about preregistration, sharing data and code, internal lab review and replication, vetting internally and externally. #NASEM

Next: Fireside Chat with John Ioannidis / Facilitator Pamela Davis-Kean. JI: We need to learn from others and always do better. People have criticized that using the term 'reproducibility crisis' can be weaponized and destroy the ecosystem. There is improvement of preregistration, sharing. #NASEM

Haven't seen anyone on Fedi discussing the #NASEM #ScientificIntegrity event tomorrow and Friday.

If that sounds interesting to you, I beg you to look at this first: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/nocensorship-2/
"An Open Letter to Professor Katy Milkman: Don’t Censor John Ioannidis, Jay Bhattacharya, and Emily Oster. Amplify Their Voices. It’s vital that your conference attendees know the speakers’ past credibility to judge their current credibility. All you have to do is be honest."

The agenda and livestream are here:

And I have no doubt that some of the sessions will be very good.

@kakape Probably appropriate to link to a (US) National Academies Workshop Report done immediately before the pandemic. https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25887/understanding-and-responding-to-global-health-security-risks-from-microbial-threats-in-the-arctic
