Building Trust in Science Communication: The Role of Journals & Journalists, Pre-& Post-Publication Panelists: Ivan Oransky, Retraction Watch Fiona Fox, Science Media Center, UK Renee Hoch, PLOS Publication Ethics Team I've only watched bits of this, and it was only of interest because so...

https://www.comet-initiative.org/Studies/Details/2103 It would be nice to know more details about all this.

Doesn't sound good. Sad if a well meaning relative was persuaded to put money into something likely to make things worse. FB group linking to it:

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting. I had some trouble with google translate but got through in the end.

Yes. My guess would be that they read the SMC document and then just looked for a supporting article. I thought that, especially the first piece, was an interesting insight into how some people within science view these matters. To me, there were people viewing some legitimate aims and...

Thanks. A bit annoying - I'd like to read those original documents. There was already some interesting stuff in there for helping understand the perspectives and assumptions of these people.

I think this is worth reading all of: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02766-w Posting because it includes a link to the Andrew Anthony Guardian piece on Sharpe: There's also this Nature editorial introducing it: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02818-1 These pieces...

The George Davey Smith jovial bit from 14:20 about a 'threatening phone call' from Oxford reminded me of the way actions from powerful institutions can be viewed.

The participants were chosen to not have any personal experience that might influence their managed imaginings ("We excluded those that had a positive COVID-19 test result to avoid results being influenced by participants’ prior personal experiences of COVID-19 or long COVID") When these...

I wondered who would think that this was a piece of research that could support the claims made, and then saw that most of the authors were from the Behavioural Science and Insights Unit. A decade ago I'd have thought that this would be a valuable example of how bad things can be. I've since...

On-line culture and social media can draw attention to the people who most want attention, and that means that often a lot of attention can go to the more ridiculous people in any community that doesn't have systems for self-policing. That's not a great thing, and I can see problems with that...

Sometimes it works out best to just go with what's currently the most mass market product, even if it's not really what you want. I'd expect that a answering machine/phone would be cheaper than a rare solo answerphone. I might have misunderstood you, but you could have a cordless phone in one...

I've noticed that a number of the people who were early supporters of Rowling's views on trans issues had come from that culture of lazy skepticism that had been condemning of those criticising PACE, etc.

Just saw that the CLOCK long covid researcher tweeted about that article.

Thanks Robert - that was almost certainly it. Shows I'm at least a year behind with this stuff!

I had a tab opened with a file 'Response to Sir Jonathan Montgomery.pdf', but by the time I went to read it it had been purged from my temporary files, and now I can't find it online. Anyone know what this may have been? I've got no info on it other than the file name.

Isn't Garner around retirement age anyway?

I was thinking that I've not got a good understanding of all the details of what happened here and that I'd like to look into it more - good bump!

I've not read the transcript of his talk that was posted, but the slides have a troubling tone. Maybe I shouldn't comment without reading the transcript but I just wrote this out for myself. "SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT IS ACTUALLY VERY REWARDING FOR THE CLINICIAN" "Basic Tenents of Management •...
