~Co-presented with Commonweal’s Collaborative for Health and the Environment and University of California San Francisco’s Science Action Network~

Scientific findings can inform stronger policies that protect public health — which sometimes negatively impacts profits of companies that produce health-harming chemicals and products.

Industry intimidation of researchers who explore the impact of exposure to chemicals and other substances on human health is a longstanding problem. When Dr. Herbert Needleman found his credibility under fire after publishing data linking children’s lead exposure to lower IQs in the early 1980s, he offered this advice to early career environmental health scientists:

“Do not avoid difficult areas of investigation. Take risks. If scientists exclusively choose the safe routes, avoid controversial research problems, and play only minor variations of someone else’s themes, they voluntarily turn themselves into technicians. Our craft will indeed be in peril.”

At a time when strong, independent science is more important than ever, corporations are ramping up attacks on scientists in the environmental health field. In this CHE Café conversation, Dr. Lisa Bero and Dr. Lariah Edwards will share their own stories of industry intimidation, and reflect on steps needed to protect researchers and maintain scientific integrity.

CHE Director Kristin Schafer will host the conversation.

Lisa Bero, PhD is a Chief Scientist at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at Colorado University. She is a leader in evidence synthesis, meta-research and studying commercial determinants of health, focusing on tobacco control, pharmaceutical policy, and public health. She provides international leadership for multidisciplinary teams studying the quality, use and implementation of research for health and health policy. Dr. Bero has developed and validated qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing bias in the design, conduct and dissemination of research. She has pioneered the utilization of internal industry documents and transparency databases to understand corporate tactics and motives for influencing research evidence. She is internationally recognized for her work and serves on national and international guidelines committees such as US National Academies of Science Committees and the World Health Organization Essential Medicines.

Lariah Edwards, PhD is an Associate Research Scientist at the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University’s School of Mailman School of Public Health. She is also an alumna Fellow and current Assistant Director of Agents of Change in Environmental Justice. Dr. Edwards’ research focuses on understanding the health effects of and addressing exposure disparities to hormone-altering chemicals commonly found in consumer and personal care products. As part of this work, she collaborates with WE ACT for Environmental Justice on its campaign that seeks to educate consumers about the dangers of toxic beauty products. Dr. Edwards also draws on her experience in the areas of chemical policy and regulatory applications and science communication, as she feels addressing exposure disparities requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Take a virtual coffee break with the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment as we chat with Gustavo W. Leone, PhD, Director of Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center and Senior Associate Dean of Cancer Research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, about urgent research and cutting-edge therapies that are transforming the fight against pancreatic cancer.

The Science Behind Pancreatic Cancer Therapeutics

2 years ago I created a beat so bad it nearly destroyed the entire planet, buildings were demolished, streets were smoldered, babies were devoured and the earth was all but inhabitable until a group of scientists at the Black Mesa Research Facility started work on a machine to fix the earth and undo the damage done by the last beat, many lives were taken and many voluptuous women were fertilized to make this happen

of course little did these Scientists realize that I was on the team and I goaded them somehow into making a beat so bad it might cause a Resonance cascade, lets hope there were no unforeseen consequences 

(and if you intend to rap on this please hit me up about it aight? or at least credit me for the beat

I'll rip your cock off if you don't)

В 19-м эпизоде подкаста «Вторжение: наука во время войны» двое учёных анонимно рассказывают о том, как умирает отечественная политология, о том, что в будущем вернуть университеты к нормальной работе в рамках действующей системы будет уже невозможно. А также о тех, кто строил свою карьеру на основе связей с зарубежными университетами, а сегодня пожимают плечами: «Да это всё западное влияние было. Зачем нам использовать эти буржуазные западные метрики?»

«Отечественные записки из подполья» — проект про учёных, которые хотят быть услышанными, но не обнаруженными. Их голоса вы можете услышать в подкасте «Вторжение: наука во время войны». Редакция T-invariant верифицирует всех информантов и несёт ответственность за публикуемые свидетельства. В «Записках» представлен горизонтальный срез научно-образовательного сообщества России в ситуации войны и репрессий. В них звучат голоса столиц и регионов, естественников, математиков, обществоведов и гуманитариев, мужчин и женщин, людей разных возрастов и академических статусов. Слушая их, вы можете сопоставить свидетельства наших информантов с тем, что вы сами знаете и думаете о судьбе отечественной науки.

Как деградирует российская политология: «Люди буквально переобуваются в воздухе»

Every once in a while, an idea hits me that causes one of those stop-the-presses moments, usually caused by some triggering event—in this case, the senseless, ongoing attacks on and defunding of scientific research by a group of decision-makers who aren’t sure if there’s an ‘I’ in the word ‘science.’ They make me think of a line from the movie Armageddon, in which the Air Force general says to Billy Bob Thornton, one of the NASA executives, “You’re asking me to put the future of the planet into the hands of a group of people that I wouldn’t trust with a potato gun.” 

The world reveres art, especially music and the artists who create it. The same is true of sports figures. Look at the way we hold up rock musicians and professional athletes as if they were celestial deities, sitting beside Zeus and Apollo and the rest of the pantheon. But when’s the last time we saw such reverence for science and the scientists who strive to understand the ways of the universe? In fact, I know you can name musicians and sports figures. But how many scientists can you name, once you get past Einstein, and maybe Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson? It’s time to change that, don’t you think?

Сергей Абрамов, ученый-суперкомпьютерщик, член-корреспондент РАН: «Это похоже на гражданскую инвалидность первой группы». Создателя российской суперкомпьютерной индустрии оставили на свободе, но это не спасет его от поражения в правах. Он останется в реестре «экстремистов и террористов» даже после уплаты штрафа.

11 июля Переяславский суд приговорил члена-корреспондента РАН Сергея Абрамова к штрафу 150 тыс. рублей за семь донатов ФБК на сумму 7 тыс. рублей (о том, почему обвинение изначально было построено на несостоятельных основаниях, мы подробно рассказывали). По нынешним временам — «вегетарианский» приговор. Но главное — не штраф. А место в реестре «экстремистов и террористов». Даже после уплаты штрафа Абрамов в нем останется на долгое время. 

Судимость по «тяжкой» статье и включение в реестр Росфинмониторинга (с июня 2023) означают многолетнее поражение в правах:
— заморозка всех личных и корпоративных счетов;
— невозможность совершать сделки с имуществом;
— полный запрет на преподавание и работу в сфере образования;
— запрет на выезд за границу и даже на оформление загранпаспорта;
— профилактический надзор от МВД, включая мониторинг соцсетей.

Состоя в реестре «экстремистов и террористов», 68-летний Абрамов теряет доступ к пенсии, не может пользоваться онлайн-банком, терпит регулярные унижения и отказы в бытовых правах.
