#Vatican recognises right of everyone to accurate information about vaccines. Yes! #RightoScience in #Article15 of #ICESCR binds 171 countries to providing accurate scientific information & taking measures to prevent #misinformation & #disinformation. https://t.co/bQeljaOZkt

Excited to present our findings on the social responsibilities of scientists and engineers drawing from a global survey and US qualitative study. I’ll be joined by Lori Diane Hill, Associate Executive Director @AERA_EdResearch and Robert Pennock, President @SigmaXiSociety

The social responsibilities of the scientific community is often a topic of discussion. To learn how scientists & engineers view their roles in society, AAAS conducted a global survey. Join us on Nov 17 at 12:00 PM ET as we report on our findings. Register https://t.co/DlOgXMChHq

Scientists have a responsibility to apply their knowledge to the benefit of humanity. The threats & harassment unleashed on scientists giving tirelessly in the service of addressing the #COVID19 pandemic violates scientific freedom & is dangerous. https://t.co/O6ecv9WImO

#UN SR on #Toxics presented his report today focused on the #RighttoScience & the need for an effective science-policy interface, to combat #misinformation + #disinformation, & ensure #scientificintegrity at all stages. An honor to have contributed: https://t.co/vgqwqag3Kh

In the grant-dependent world, too often the time and resources to measure impact are lacking. Yet, that should be a crucial step in the implementation of any project & definition of next steps. This guide is a helpful resource to support that effort. Kudos @CSIsocialimpact

Much good and urgent questions. That's what we found in the report released today on #AI and the #COVID19 pandemic. With a focus on triage and surveillance, the specific findings have broader implications. https://t.co/35vaA0NEu9 @AAAS_SRHRL

The 2020 Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award went to forensic anthropologist Erin Kimmerle in recognition of the "unlocking of a tragic history" in Florida.

VA, 1st state in the South, close to banning #deathpenalty. “Advances in #DNA technology, which have exposed 174 wrongful death row convictions since 1973, have prompted some states to ban the practice over time.” #science&humanrights #scitech4HR https://t.co/ym3aYAnqPj

@Keiindc Congratulations!

[Jessica Wyndham @JMWyndham]

Data show: the #deathpenalty is not a deterrent (nor is it cheaper than jailing someone for life) So why use it? To show how sacred life is? The irony! Via @NYTimes https://t.co/KQkKK2WXzF

The science showing causal links between climate change, country emissions, and individual harms is a critical component in human rights litigation on climate change. https://t.co/Lw00rbQBL7
