The Lise Meitner Society (Lise-Meitner-Gesellschaft) is a non-profit organization founded by young scientists, which works towards equal opportunities in mathematics and natural sciences and inside and outside of academia. As part of our special issue on power in academia, we spoke to Dr. habil.

‘Convergence’ as knowledge integration for grappling with societal challenges Last October the US National Academies held a workshop (available here) to gather views on how to better measure and assess the implications of interdisciplinarity, or convergence, for research and innovation.
Interdisciplinary research for addressing societal problems In this blog I will share some thoughts developed for and during a fantastic workshop (available here) held last October by the US National Academies to help the National Science Foundation (NSF) set an agenda on how to better measure and assess the implications of interdisciplinarity (or convergence) for research and innovation.
Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing.
When Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner, a researcher at Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies, stumbled upon the Twitter feed STS Title Bot, he was immediately struck by its creativity and effortless verisimilitude. Despite being generated by an automated algorithm that has apparently been fed with data obtained through text mining, many titles could easily pass for actual publications in major STS journals.
This post is a collaboration between ScholCommLab member Alice Fleerackers and SFU Knowledge Mobilization Officer Lupin Battersby. It was first published on November 18, 2020 at SFU Library’s Radical Access blog and has been reposted here with permission. Curious about research blogging, but not sure where to start? In this post, we answer common questions about why, when, and where to blog about research.
Mit “Gutenberg Research Elements” führt die Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz ein Forschungsinformationssystem ein, das den Wissenschaftler*innen vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Erfassung, Dokumentation und Zusammenführung von Forschungsinformationen bietet und auf diese Weise die Voraussetzungen für den Aufbau darauf basierender Nutzerdienste und einer uniweiten Forschungsberichterstattung schafft.
In this blog post we discuss recent findings on the relation between career trajectories and task specialization. Research careers are commonly envisioned in evaluation schemes as homogeneous pathways in which individuals have to take a series of steps to advance.
The use of metrics is a hot topic in science, and scholars have criticized metrics for being more driven by data than by judgements. Both the Leiden Manifesto and the DORA-declaration, signed by thousands of organizations and individuals, have expressed concerns about the use of metrics on individuals.
