Fwd: Baskaran Fwd: INSA e-mail: Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal (2022) lecture and Panel discussion
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Forwarded message. Please spread the word. Subbiah Arunachalam ******************** Greetings and regards from INSA. I am writing this mail on behalf of the President INSA and in the context of a lecture by Prof Marcia McNutt, President of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, USA on the March 3rd between 1800-2000 Indian Time. Dr. McNutt has been awarded the prestigious _Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal_ - 2022 by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). Prof. McNutt has suggested that she will speak on “Misinformation: Addressing the Challenge” and, will trace some of the history of misinformation, and discuss why it is such a problem today, with some key examples from the US and possibly elsewhere. This is indeed a topic of importance and concern for both the public and academia. Enthused by the title of this talk and with our own concerns on the current contexts, we felt that a panel discussion on broader issues arising from _changing narratives _of _STI, Economics, Ethics and Society: Issues and Challenges in recalibrating the role of Academies and Academia_ following the talk will be useful to initiate a discussion in the community. I am pleased to report that we have an eminent set of panelists , a) Prof. Holden Thorp, Editor in Chief of Science Journals, b) Prof. Naomi Oreskes of the Department of Earth Sciences at the Harvard Universities and an highly acclaimed authors of several bestselling books including the Why trust Science ; c) Prof. Geoffrey Boulton FRS OBE from UK, who will be representing the International Science Council and has been the architect of their document Science as a Global Public Good and d) Prof. Chandrima Shaha, President INSA. Each of the panel members will have an opening comment of 10 min and these will be followed by discussion/comments/questions. The entire event will be held on web and the enclosed poster provides the link and details on the talks. You may type in your comments/questions in the chat box and they will be addressed to. Success of such events happens ONLY through participation of all and it will therefore be a pleasure to see you in the meeting. Kindly circulate the YouTube link below in your institute. https://youtu.be/76kuGgtq25k Regards Ashok Singhvi Website: www.insaindia.res.in [1] E-Mail: sci-soc(a)insa.nic.in Links: ------ [1] http://www.insaindia.res.in/ _______________________________________

A pragmatic approach to writing research papers
by madhan muthu 23 Feb '22

A pragmatic approach to writing research papers. By G. K. Ananthasuresh https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCH7h0GstoFVm_X7a_53e9lBTSTheTuYk… Much has been written about how to write good research papers. But there is a need to discuss it from time to time. Writing is a necessity for researchers to publish their work in reputed journals and well-attended conferences as well as to prepare winning grant proposals. However, it is increasingly becoming an even more important task than doing the research itself. Intense competition in securing grants and publishing papers underscores the need to write well to put forth one’s ideas effectively. By taking a few good tips from a selected set of essays on “how to write about research”, we will discuss a pragmatic approach that makes writing pleasurable and rewarding. Brief biographical sketch of G. K. Ananthasuresh G. K. Ananthasuresh earned his bachelor’s degree from IIT-Madras, master’s from the University of Toledo, and PhD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor—all in mechanical engineering. His principal research interests are compliant mechanisms and topology optimization with applications in microelectromechanical systems, biomechanics of cells, biomedical devices, and microrobots. In addition to research output of more than 300 journal and conference publications and 16 patents, his research group has spun off four startups. He currently serves as a professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Dean of Mechanical Sciences at IISc-Bengaluru. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open access endorsed by International Science Council members
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Friends, Please see https://council.science/current/news/members-vote-to-reform-scientific-publ… / These are the eight principles endorsed by the International Science Council’s Membership (in October 2021): 1. There should be universal open access to the record of science, both for authors and readers, with no barriers to participation, in particular those based on ability to pay, institutional privilege, language or geography. 2. Scientific publications should carry open licences that permit reuse and text and data mining. 3. Rigorous and ongoing peer review must continue to play a key role in creating and maintaining the public record of science. 4. The data and observations on which a published truth claim is based should be concurrently accessible to scrutiny and supported by necessary metadata. 5. The record of science should be maintained in such a way as to ensure open access by future generations. 6. Publication traditions of different disciplines should be respected, while at the same time recognizing the importance of inter-relating their contributions in the shared enterprise of knowledge. 7. Publication systems should be designed so that they continually adapt to new opportunities for beneficial change rather than embedding inflexible systems that inhibit change. 8. Governance of the processes of dissemination of scientific knowledge should be accountable to the scientific community. Please help reach this message reach all involved in science and research in India (scientists, students, academic and research institutions in the public and private sectors, research councils, funding agencies, librarians ... ...). Also, it would be a good idea for this forum to discuss each one of these principles.
