On Biology and Branching Paths 🌳 Just as evolutionary trees show diverse paths of success, so too do our educational journeys. While exam results are one measure, they're not the only indicator of future success. But let's be clear: knowledge and skills DO matter. Understanding biology can open doors to medicine, environmental science, biotechnology, and more. These fields shape our world and future. Remember this week: 1. Results offer valuable feedback. 2. Learning is a lifelong process. 3. Resilience and adaptability are key (just ask any species that's survived mass extinction!) Struggling with biology? Unsure of your path? Let's chat. Together, we can explore the diverse ecosystem of opportunities that biology offers. #BiologyMatters #EducationEvolution #ExamResults #STEM #ScienceTutoring #sciencerevision #studytips #examprep #scienceeducation

Just published in Journal of Experimental Biology (doi:10.1242/jeb.247888) Abstract Researchers in the Global South (GS, developing countries) make valuable contributions to the field of comparative physiology, but face economic and scientific disparities and several unique challenges compared with colleagues in the Global North (developed countries). This Perspective highlights some of the challenges, knowledge gaps and disparities in opportunity faced by GS researchers, especially those at early-career stages. We propose collaborative solutions to help address these issues, and advocate for promoting investment and cultural and societal change for a more inclusive research community. Additionally, we highlight the role of GS researchers in contributing expert knowledge on local biodiversity and the environment; this knowledge can help to shape the future of comparative physiology, allowing us to achieve a better understanding of the evolution of physiological mechanisms and to develop innovative solutions to environmental and biomedical challenges. With this Perspective, we hope to highlight the need to foster a more diverse, equitable and inclusive research landscape in comparative physiology; one that empowers GS scientists to address the global challenges associated with biodiversity loss, climate change and environmental pollution.

The beauty of research work in science lies in its pursuit of unraveling and understanding the complexities of nature, and pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. It is a journey of discovery, innovation, and relentless curiosity that inspires wonder and awe. At its core, research in science is driven by a passion for exploration and a desire to uncover the truth. It is a collaborative endeavor that brings together minds from different backgrounds and disciplines, bringing about creativity and cross-pollination of ideas. Through experimentation, observation, and analysis, researchers seek to answer fundamental questions, solve pressing problems, and address the challenges facing society. One of the most beautiful aspect of research in science is its potential to transform our understanding of the world around us. From uncovering the mechanisms of biological processes to exploring the mysteries behind what and how a particular thing operates. Each new discovery opens up new area of knowledge and expands the human understanding. Research in science is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is also about applying that knowledge to make a positive impact on the world. Whether it is developing new technologies to improve healthcare, finding sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, or advancing our understanding of the universe, research in science has the power to shape the future and create a better world for generations to come. The greatest beauty of research in science lies in the journey itself, the thrill of exploration, the joy of discovery, and the satisfaction of knowing that every experiment, every observation, brings us one step closer to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. It is a journey filled with moments of inspiration, revelation, and wonder, reminding us of the boundless potential of the human mind and the limitless possibilities of the natural world. #science #molecularbiology #plantdnaextraction #research #discovery #solutions #IAmAScientist CHIDINMA NWAKAEGO ALEKE #sheinspires

🚀 The Future is Here: The Age of Digital Biology 🌱💻 In one of the most exciting technological revolutions of our time, digital biology is poised to transform the way we think about life sciences. For the first time in human history, biology is evolving from being purely a science to becoming an engineering discipline—a shift that promises exponential improvements and breakthroughs. With this transition: Biology is becoming more predictable and systematic, allowing advancements to build on one another seamlessly. We now understand how to represent and decode the language of biology and chemistry, enabling unprecedented innovation.

How do we ensure trustworthy science? This insightful blog post by Panagiotis Kavouras discusses this issue with respect to #OpenScience via LSE Impact Blog https://lnkd.in/e2aTxRRf

In a recent blog post, one of the local World Conf Research Integrity organizers, Panagiotis Kavouras, emphasizes the importance of transparency and reproducibility in building #trust in #science. 🔬 Panagiotis Kavouras highlights Open Science practices, such as sharing data and methods, and initiatives like registered reports, which publish study plans before research begins. He also calls for changes in how researchers are evaluated, focusing on quality over quantity. Fostering a culture of responsible research practices is key to maintaining trust in science.

The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the Engineering Biology Research Consortium are pleased to partner on the 2024 JSPG Special Topics Issue on Advancing Science & Technology Policy for the Next-Generation Bioeconomy. We invite students, post-doctoral researchers, policy fellows, early-career researchers, and early-career professionals from around the world to submit op-eds, policy position papers, policy memos or analyses, and other articles addressing bioeconomy policy ideas and challenges. These include topics and concerns around the intersection of biology/biotechnology and artificial intelligence and machine learning, biomanufacturing, food and agriculture, energy, biodiversity, biosecurity, biotechnology regulations, and workforce development. Articles should address how the topic could impact at a global or local/regional economic level. Submission deadline: January 13, 2025. Read the call for papers: https://lnkd.in/ghDnXw2N Leading up to the submission deadline, JSPG and EBRC will organize a series of training sessions to provide prospective authors with opportunities to develop and practice policy writing, and to inspire and empower them with expert perspectives on science and technology policy topics to inform their submissions to the Special Issue.
