The importance of science communication and public engagement to professional associations

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Scientists have gathered in professional associations to promote science to the public. The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) has invested resources in programs to promote anatomical sciences to the public (high school level via the Anato‐Bee; all levels via Anatomy nights) and train scientists how to talk to the public (SciComm Bootcamp ...

Multiverse Scenarios in Cosmology: Classification, Cause, Challenge, Controversy, and Criticism [PDF]

J.Cosmol. 4:664-673,2010, 2010
Multiverse scenarios in cosmology assume that other universes exist "beyond" our own universe. They are an exciting challenge both for empirical and theoretical research as well as for philosophy of science. They could be necessary to understand why the big bang occurred, why (some of) the laws of nature and the values of certain physical constants are

Framework for assessing the risk to a field from fraudulent researchers: A case study of Alzheimer's disease

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Concerns over research integrity are rising, with increasing attention to potential threats from untrustworthy authors. We established a framework to gauge the potential negative influence of researchers potentially engaged in misconduct. The field of Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has been a focal point of these worries. This study aims to

Microscopic laws vs. Macroscopic laws: Perspectives from kinetic theory and hydrodynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Reductionism is a prevalent viewpoint in science according to which all physical phenomena can be understood from fundamental laws of physics. Anderson [Science, 177, 393 (1972)], Laughlin and Pines [PNAS, 97, 28 (2000)], and others have countered this viewpoint and argued in favour hierarchical structure of the universe and laws.

Dark Energy From the Gravitational Wave Background With Scalar Field Dark Matter

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent observational results, such as those from pulsar timing arrays (PTA), suggest a low‐frequency Gravitational Wave Background (GWB) permeates our universe. This opens the possibility that gravitational waves could span a broader spectrum, potentially impacting cosmological scales.

Noether Theorems and Reality of Motion [PDF]

, 2016
We will read, through the Emmy Noether paper and the two concepts of `proper' and `improper' conservation laws, the problem, posed by Hilbert, of the nature of the law of conservation of energy in the theory of General Relativity. Epistemological issues involved with the two kind of conservation laws will be enucleate.
