Check out Michael Meit’s upcoming presentation!

I conducted and presented, together with Dr. Costin Petcu and Dr. Bejinariu Catalin, a study on the impact of early puberty on educational systems. Our presentation was appreciated by the other specialists present in Seville at the 17th annual International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation #iceri2024

How can we re-imagine academic research as a space for care, collaboration, and inclusion? This new document, Centering Care in the Academic Research Enterprise, co-authored by EWU’s own Anna Frost, offers a roadmap for addressing inequities and embedding care into research practices. This aligns perfectly with EWU’s goals of enhancing grantsmanship and supporting researchers at every level. As we strive to build a culture where care and innovation coexist, I encourage everyone to explore this document and consider how we can implement these principles on our campus.

Final day to register for this event happening tomorrow on campus! Open to all faculty, staff, and students! Link to register here : https://lnkd.in/gnyVPW5i When does the best science get done? When everyone feels safe, welcome, and prepared for the task at hand. In this event, we will explore how being prepared can make or break a field experience. Fostering positive field experiences is intended to help those with little field experience be more comfortable, while also encouraging experienced field researchers to question their biases when guiding or leading field experiences. This collaborative workshop offers a space to learn from each other and create more positive field experiences for everyone. Whether you lead field experiences or are heading out to do field research for the first time, there is always something to learn. Topics will include pre-trip field preparedness, helpful things to have in your backpack, and tips and tricks from experienced researchers. 

We are now 4 years in on this work and it just keeps getting better! I am excited to share another collaborative publication with my colleague, Yvonne Earnshaw, Ph.D., from our longitudinal qualitative study. https://lnkd.in/eHMsifQw Earnshaw, Y., & Bodine Al-Sharif, M.

📅 In February 2024, POIESIS member Dr. Anne-Sophie Behm-Bahtat from Wissenschaft im Dialog organised three online focus groups with different institutional actors from all over Germany as part of Work Package 3. The participants in the three groups – university communicators, research integrity officers, and members of research funding organisations – discussed the role of institutions for public trust in science and what can be done to improve conditions for research integrity and societal integration in institutions and beyond. 🔬 The three different groups of institutional actors had lively 2-hour long discussions exploring the topics of trust in science, integrity and integration from different institutional angles. Altogether, participants did not so much see a crisis of public trust in science but rather a crisis of trust in public institutions. They underlined the importance of a comprehensive 'culture of integrity' at all institutional levels and also discussed why the 'how' of societal integration might actually be more important than the 'how much'. #PTPOIESIS #TrustInScience

Good intentions are not enough to bring about change. The current situation between men and women professors in academia is unequal. This speech of Prof. Simon Lilly sheds light on the reality of this disparity, revealing how women professors are often treated unfairly compared to their male counterparts. This speech isn't just about one person's struggle - Prof. Marcella Carollo; it's a cautionary tale about the erosion of fundamental values like fairness, transparency, and equality within academic institutions. This is story is about how a respected scientist's career was derailed by baseless accusations and a lack of due process. Listen to this speech and join the conversation about justice, integrity, and the future of academia! https://lnkd.in/eAmMYpAA And explore Ursula Keller's thoughts on the matter in her article 'Stuck in a Swiss Catch-22 for Equal Rights?' https://lnkd.in/eNGhmmbU
