This concise introductory guide explains the values that should
inform the responsible conduct of scientific research in today's
global setting. Featuring accessible discussions and ample
real-world scenarios, Doing Global Science covers proper conduct,
fraud and bias, the researcher's responsibilities to society,
communication with the public, and much more. The book places
special emphasis on the international and highly networked
environment in which modern research is done, presenting science as
an enterprise that is being transformed by globalization,
interdisciplinary research projects, team science, and information
technologies. Accessibly written by an InterAcademy Partnership
committee comprised of leading scientists from around the world,
Doing Global Science is required reading for students,
practitioners, and anyone concerned about the responsible conduct
of science today. * Provides practical guidance and instructions
for doing scientific research in today's global setting * Covers
everything from responsible conduct to communication with the
public * Features numerous real-world scenarios drawn from an array
of disciplines and national contexts * Focuses on issues commonly
encountered in international collaborations * Written by a panel of
leading experts from around the world * An essential guide for
practicing scientists and anyone concerned about fostering research
integrity
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in
collaboration with the InterAcademy Partnership and the European
Academies Science Advisory Committee held a workshop in November
2019 to bring together researchers and public health officials from
different countries and across several relevant disciplines to
explore what is known, and what critical knowledge gaps remain,
regarding existing and possible future risks of harmful infectious
agents emerging from thawing permafrost and melting ice in the
Arctic region. The workshop examined case studies such as the
specific case of Arctic region anthrax outbreaks, as a known,
observed risk as well as other types of human and animal microbial
health risks that have been discovered in snow, ice, or permafrost
environments, or that could conceivably exist. The workshop
primarily addressed two sources of emerging infectious diseases in
the arctic: (1) new diseases likely to emerge in the Arctic as a
result of climate change (such as vector-borne diseases) and (2)
ancient and endemic diseases likely to emerge in the Arctic
specifically as a result of permafrost thaw. Participants also
considered key research that could advance knowledge including
critical tools for improving observations, and surveillance to
advance understanding of these risks, and to facilitate and
implement effective early warning systems. Lessons learned from
efforts to address emerging or re-emerging microbial threats
elsewhere in the world were also discussed. This publication
summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop. Table
