Scientists have long been associated with religion’s decline around the world. But little data permit analysis of religiosity scientists or their perceptions science-faith interface. Here we present first ever survey from biologists and physicists in eight regions world—France, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, States, countries selected because they exhibit differing degrees religiosity, varying levels scientific infrastructure, unique relationships between religious...
Scientific research increasingly requires international collaboration among scientists. Less is known, however, about the barriers that impede such collaboration. In this pioneering study, more than 9000 scientists from eight societies – United States, Kingdom, India, Italy, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, and France were surveyed to gauge scientists' attitudes experiences. While most claimed was important, their actual participation in collaborations much lower. We identified prevalence rates of...
Abstract The complement anaphylatoxin C3a, on binding the C3aR, mediates numerous proinflammatory activities. In addition, recent in vitro studies with C3a have implicated C3aR as a possible anti-inflammatory receptor. Because of its dual role modulating inflammatory response, it is uncertain whether contributes to pathogenesis endotoxin shock. Here, targeted-disruption mice reported. These exhibit an enhanced lethality shock pronounced gene dosage effect. plasma concentration IL-1β was...
Research using human embryos and embryoids has expanded in recent years due to technological advances. Surveying laws guidelines among the top research development (R&D) investing nations highlights existing barriers expanding this area of research. Of 22 surveyed, we found 12 countries with a 14-day limit, one seven-day five prohibitions four without national or that limit prohibit embryo Sixteen define an related entities, limiting embryoid Other are ambiguous relation research, leave...
Drawing on 48 in-depth interviews conducted with biologists and physicists at universities in the United Kingdom, this study examines scientists’ perceptions of role celebrity scientists play socially contentious public debates. We examine Richard Dawkins’ involvement debates related to relationship between science religion as a case analyze sphere implications for practice communication. Findings show that proponents view scientist provocateur who asserts cultural authority sphere. Critics,...
In the past 30 years, average age of biomedical researchers has steadily increased. The an investigator at National Institutes Health (NIH) rose from 39 to 51 between 1980 and 2008. aging workforce was even more apparent when looking first-time NIH grantees. a new 42 in 2008, compared 36 1980. To determine if rising barriers for entry research might impact innovative ideas research, we analyzed publications Nobel Prize winners 2010 assess which their pioneering occurred. We established that...
As the scientific community globalizes, it is increasingly important to understand effects of international collaboration on quality and quantity research produced. While generally assumed that enhances research, this phenomenon not well examined. Stem cell unique in both politically charged a area often generates collaborations, making an ideal case through which examine collaborations. Furthermore, with promising medical applications, dynamic responsive globalizing science environment....
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an observed increase in anti-vaccine sentiment linked with requirements for vaccines. But how did these ideas impact politics of vaccines? In this paper, authors analyze witness statements from 2021 Texas Legislative Session during vaccine-related hearings. Specifically, research focused on five hearings bills that related to vaccine or transparency laws filed 2021Texas and witnesses who opposed measures. From 128 cataloged analyzed, we found 84...
Stem cell-based models of embryos are known by various names, with different naming conventions, leading to confusion regarding their composition and potential. We propose the need for a general term field promote public engagement development systematic nomenclature system differentiate between specific models.
Abstract It now seems technically feasible to culture human embryos beyond the “fourteen‐day limit,” which has potential increase scientific understanding of development and perhaps improve infertility treatments. The fourteen‐day limit was adopted as a compromise but subsequently been considered an ethical line. Does it remain relevant in light technological advances permitting embryo maturation it? Should be changed and, if so, how why? What justifications would necessary expand limit,...
As scientific research pushes the boundaries of knowledge, new discoveries and technologies often raise ethical social questions. Public responses vary from surprise, to unrealistic optimism about imminent treatments, confusion, absolute opposition. Regardless intent, use a precise gene editing tool on human embryos, such as CRISPR-Cas9, is an example controversial emerging technology. Substantive disagreement appropriate pathways permissible clinical applications be expected. Many concerns,...
Recent technological advances have helped scientists understand early human development. However, scientists' ability to fully explore their potential comes in conflict with national and state-level policies the USA. In 2016, for first time, researchers were able grow embryos culture up 14 days but stopped because of scientific legal limits. Other used stem cells create organized models development, known as embryoids or cell-based embryo models. this paper, we review federal state laws that...
The premature marketing of investigational stem cell interventions (SCIs) is a growing market in the US. Several US states have passed legislation to permit and promote unproven experimental SCIs for individuals with terminal or chronic diseases. These SCI medical freedom laws, which are largely based on right-to-try legislation, increase access little no oversight. They undermine federal regulatory authority can compromise patient safety informed decision-making. laws gone unnoticed by...
Science and engineering research has becoming an increasingly international phenomenon. Traditional bibliometric studies have not captured the evolution of collaborative partnerships between countries, particularly in emerging technologies such as stem cell science, which immense amount investment been made past decade. Analyzing over 2,800 articles from top journals that include their publications, this study demonstrates globalization science. From 2000 to 2010, collaborations increased...
From professionals to weekend warriors, many athletes seek unproven stem cell (SC) treatments in an effort heal injuries nonsurgically and/or accelerate recovery times after surgery. Among the elite opting for these are high-profile U.S. National Football League (NFL) players. Over past 5 years, several NFL players have publicly advocated SC types of and credit them as a major reason they could continue their careers injuries. In this article, we describe current problems associated with...
