The Department of Science and Technology Science Education Institute (DOST SEl), in collaboration with the University of San Carlos, successfully hosted the 12th Graduate Scholars' Conference of the Accelerated Science and Technology Human Resources Development Program (ASTHRDP). With the theme, "Artificial Intelligence: Embracing Change and Ethical Use in Research," the conference provided a platform for DOST graduate scholars to present their research outputs and gain deeper insights into emerging trends in science and technology.

Following on from the #DevelopmentFutures conference, hosted by the Development Studies Association of Australia at University of Melbourne earlier this year, DiP is pleased to announce a new special issue (Eds Patrick Kilby and Dr. Violeta Schubert). We welcome papers from both practitioners and academics that address the theme "development futures" from diverse perspectives and with different foci, whether more issue-oriented, or more concerned with theoretical and methodological themes: https://lnkd.in/gsi5GSKJ

Right on time! This new publication comes out in the week after the 2 big announcements by ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council and the Wellcome Trust to provide major funding for strengthening evidence syntheses, and particularly #living evidence syntheses efforts. This paper provides a conceptual framework to understand what are living syntheses, and when they would need to be produced, updated, and discontinued. It could be used by researchers, funders and other decision-makers to inform their decisions on when to produce, update and discontinue living evidence syntheses. This is the last paper of my #PhD dissertation at McMaster University, where I received the great support of John N. Lavis, Gordon Guyatt and Arthur Sweetman. https://lnkd.in/eASVQMhX

Here is Dr. Michelle Peters, Professor and Department Chair, with some doctoral students during the summer class Program Evaluation. This course addresses the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs and policies. Topics include purposes for evaluating; evaluator’s role; evaluation structure; various design applications including experimental, quasi-experimental and descriptive; and indicators for effectiveness and program process along with a series of components including collection of quantitative and qualitative data, analysis and use of evaluation results in the decision-making process. #edls #uhcl University of Houston-Clear Lake

OIBR is here to promote the behavioral and social sciences at the University of Georgia. As part of our mission, we are here to help promote the research of our affiliated faculty. To do this, we look to highlight the great work of our Distinguished Scholars, Affiliates, and GDP's. Submit a story idea to us about your research, or if you have recently received an award, have been published, want to share an event that may be of interest to social and behavioral scientists, or have any other professional good news to share, let us know! https://lnkd.in/epymxAy4

UNE's Professor Yihong Du has received the most prestigious scientific award for excellence in Australia, being named as a 2024 Australian Laureate Fellow by the Australian Research Council (ARC). This fellowship is awarded to only 17 world-class researchers each year and means "that many of my ambitious research plans can now become possible,” says Prof Du, the first UNE researcher to receive this competitive accolade. “This achievement has been built upon the strong support I’ve received from UNE leadership teams and colleagues over many years.” With the help of $2.45 million in ARC funding over 5 years, Prof Du will undertake a project to develop new mathematical theories that will improve our knowledge of complex environmental concerns, such as ecological invasion and the spread of disease. Not only will this help us better predict spread, but it will significantly improve our ability to control diseases that could have catastrophic impacts on health and biosecurity. Our story about this impressive honour, and Prof Du's thoughts on it, via the link in comments. #UNEresearch #FutureFitFor70Years #Mathematics #OneHealth
