SVP's Letter to Editors of Journals and Publishers on Burmese Amber And
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 7918 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 300 McLean, VA 22102 USA Phone: (301) 634-7024 Email: [email protected] Web: www.vertpaleo.org FEIN: 06-0906643 April 21, 2020 Subject: Fossils from conflict zones and reproducibility of fossil-based scientific data Dear Editors, We are writing you today to promote the awareness of a couple of troubling matters in our scientific discipline, paleontology, because we value your professional academic publication as an important ‘gatekeeper’ to set high ethical standards in our scientific field. We represent the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP: http://vertpaleo.org/), a non-profit international scientific organization with over 2,000 researchers, educators, students, and enthusiasts, to advance the science of vertebrate palaeontology and to support and encourage the discovery, preservation, and protection of vertebrate fossils, fossil sites, and their geological and paleontological contexts. The first troubling matter concerns situations surrounding fossils in and from conflict zones. One particularly alarming example is with the so-called ‘Burmese amber’ that contains exquisitely well-preserved fossils trapped in 100-million-year-old (Cretaceous) tree sap from Myanmar. They include insects and plants, as well as various vertebrates such as lizards, snakes, birds, and dinosaurs, which have provided a wealth of biological information about the ‘dinosaur-era’ terrestrial ecosystem. Yet, the scientific value of these specimens comes at a cost (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/science/amber-myanmar-paleontologists.html). Where Burmese amber is mined in hazardous conditions, smuggled out of the country, and sold as gemstones, the most disheartening issue is that the recent surge of exciting scientific discoveries, particularly involving vertebrate fossils, has in part fueled the commercial trading of amber. -

Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies: Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations
Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies: Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations Diane DiEuliis and Charles Lutes June 2016 Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations Diane DiEuliis and Charles Lutes On April 26th, 2016, the Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction (CSWMD) at National Defense University held a workshop to explore “Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies.” Participants from government, NGOs and academia discussed opportunities and challenges of a new era of biotechnology, one highlighted by the advancing ease with which the genomes of organisms can be engineered for specific purposes, potentially more rapidly than we are prepared to assess and deal responsibly with its ramifications. Synthetic biology and associated genome editing tools will be essential for addressing the global challenge of resource scarcity, provide unprecedented advances in public health and medicine, and create innovative products that can support national defense, as well as commodities that stimulate the US economy. At the same time, new dual-use technologies will present significant challenges to biosecurity, biosafety, and have already begun to generate ethical and moral dilemmas. Participants stressed the need to address these issues in ways that do not stifle the technology’s advancement nor America’s competitiveness in the global bioeconomy. The workshop was convened to consider the potential biosecurity concerns of emerging biotechnologies and their impact on national security. The dual use problem was discussed in the context of “biosecurity by design,” a concept conceived specifically in preparation for the workshop in which government, industry, academia, national laboratories, and individual users should be mindful of developing potential security solutions at each step of technology development. -

The Royal Society Moves to Continuous Publication
Insights – 26(2), July 2013 Royal Society moves to continuous publication | Helen Duriez 350 years at the cutting edge of scientific publishing – the Royal Society moves to continuous publication ‘Continuous publication’ is a digital-friendly concept that does exactly what it says on the tin. It is the idea that individual journal articles are published online, in their final format, as soon as they are ready. Collectively, they form a continuous feed of published articles. These articles are no longer constrained by the traditional print schedule, which means that citation details are available straight away and the reader has confidence that they are reading the version of record. A number of newly launched journals have experimented with a continuous format over the past few years, although to see established journals making the switch to a different publication model is still rare. So when the Royal Society, publisher of the world’s first science journal, decided to transition its titles to a continuous publication model, it was a bold move. This case study examines the reasons behind the move and the lessons that were learned. Introduction The Royal Society publishes nine peer-reviewed journals across the physical and biological sciences, including the world’s first science journal: Philosophical Transactions (now published in two parts, A1 and B2). In recent years, digital usage of its suite of journals has steadily overtaken print, to the point where the journals are now primarily found and downloaded from the internet. With the introduction of systematic digital archiving and curation, it has become clear that the future of published research will almost exclusively HELEN DURIEZ be online, and therefore steps are being taken towards removing the constraints that print ePublishing Manager production places upon online publication. -

One example is the driving forces published studies that such ion gradients generate electric fields and in the early embryonic development and morphogenesis in general. direct currents, which are able to form patterns within cell membranes Recently, a very well compiled commentary summed up the history (e.g. in the early embryo), cell arrays (e.g. in the developing lens) and of the physical (mostly mechanical) forces in early embryogenesis [1] tissues (e.g. neural tube formation). Furthermore, not only small ions but one physical force was left out completely: the electric force or the like sodium or potassium can be involved in this field patterning but charges of molecules and ions and their gradients. Another example also larger biomolecules (which possess nearly all electrical charges) like is left – right pattern formation in early embryogenesis where most tissue factors, growth hormones, transmitters and signaling molecules theories set the starting point at the asymmetric beat of cilia moving the like serotonin and others.

Library Review 2009/2010
LIBRARY REVIEW 2010 REPORT TO COUNCIL, NOVEMBER 2010 A. Introduction i. The Library Review was instigated by Council at the end of 2009, initially as a Library Acquisitions Review, to help ensure that the Geological Society’s library collections and services continue to be developed over the coming years in a sustainable way. The commitment of Council to the future of the library, shared by the Review Group, is predicated on the belief that the library collections – enhanced by the information services which depend on them, the expertise of the staff, and sets of rich supporting metadata – constitute a unique, nationally and internationally important resource, which is one of the jewels in the crown of the Society. ii. To make the best use of this major asset, development of the library must be sustainable both strategically and financially. iii. Strategic drivers for long term development of services and collections include the evolving needs of the Fellowship, and rapid and fundamental changes in the wider library and information services environment. In conducting this review, we have been guided by the Society’s overall strategic objectives, in particular: • maintaining and building a world class geoscience library and map collection; • pursuing excellence of content and accessibility of the Society’s website and other online resources; • developing and supporting new and existing Specialist Groups; • collaborating with other specialist bodies in the UK to pursue common aims; • diversifying income streams; • protecting and developing existing income streams; • maintaining and developing an expert and professional staff; • growing Fellowship and promoting the Society throughout academia and industry. iv. -
