  • Department of Biology (Pdf)
    Department of Biology 26 Summary The Department of Biology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette took its current form in the late 1980s, with the merger of the Biology and Microbiology Departments. In Spring of 2019, the department has 28 professorial faculty members, 6 emeritus faculty members, and 7 instructors. Almost all professorial faculty members are active in research and serve as graduate faculty. Our graduate programs are also supported by 8 adjunct faculty members; their affiliations include the United States Geological Survey, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Smithsonian Institution. In this report, we summarize research accomplishments of our departmental faculty since 2013. The report is focused on our research strengths; however, faculty members have also been awarded considerable honors and funding for educational activities. We also briefly summarize the growth and size of our degree programs. Grant Productivity From 2013 through 2018, the Department of Biology has secured over 16 million dollars of new research funding (the total number of dollars associated with these grants, which are often multi- institutional, is considerably higher). Publications The faculty has a strong record of publication, with 279 papers published in peer-reviewed journals in the last 5 years. An additional 30 papers were published in conference proceedings or other edited volumes. Other Accomplishments Other notable accomplishments between 2013 and 2018 include faculty authorship of five books and edited volumes. Faculty members have served as editors, associate editors, or editorial board members for 21 different journals or as members of 34 society boards or grant review panels. They presented 107 of presentations as keynote addresses or invited seminars.

However, we have not found documentation of their required knowledge, skills, and characteristics, or the existence of any formal core competencies for this role. Methods: We describe the development of a minimum set of core competencies for scientific editors of biomedical journals. Results: The 14 key core competencies are divided into three major areas, and each competency has a list of associated elements or descriptions of more specific knowledge, skills, and characteristics that contribute to its fulfillment. Conclusions: We believe that these core competencies are a baseline of the knowledge, skills, and characteristics needed to perform competently the duties of a scientific editor at a biomedical journal. Keywords: Core competencies, Scientific editor, Biomedical journal, Delphi, Expert consensus, Editor role Introduction and in guidance for members of editor organizations Scientific editors (editors are responsible for the content [3–8].

  • SUBMISSION from SPRINGER NATURE Making Plan S Successful
    PLAN S IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE: SUBMISSION FROM SPRINGER NATURE Springer Nature welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the cOAlition S Implementation Guidance and contribute to the discussion on how the transition to Open Access (OA) can be accelerated. Our submission below focuses mainly on the second question posed in the consultation: Are there other mechanisms or requirements funders should consider to foster full and immediate Open Access of research outputs? Making Plan S successful: a commitment to open access Springer Nature is dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Open Access (OA) publishing and Open Research techniques. As the world’s largest OA publisher we are a committed partner for cOAlition S funders in achieving this goal which is also the primary focus of Plan S. Our recommendations below are therefore presented with the aim of achieving this goal. As a first mover, we know the (multiple) challenges that need to be overcome: funding flows that need to change, a lack of cooperation in funder policies, a lack of global coordination, the need for a cultural change in researcher assessment and metrics in research, academic disciplines that lack OA resources, geographic differences in levels of research output making global “Publish and Read” deals difficult and, critically, an author community that does not yet view publishing OA as a priority. While this uncertainty remains, we need the benefits of OA to be better described and promoted as well as support for the ways that enable us and other publishers to cope with the rapidly increasing demand. We therefore propose cOAlition S adopt the following six recommendations which we believe are necessary to deliver Plan S’s primary goal of accelerating the take-up of OA globally while minimising costs to funders and other stakeholders: 1.

  • South Korean Nation Branding and the Building of Competitiveness Society
    Juliette Schwak City University of Hong Kong [email protected] South Korean nation branding and the building of competitiveness society Which pressures, which responses? “Diplomacy in the 21st century will center around economy and culture. We must keep expanding trade, investment, tourism and cultural exchanges in order to make our way in the age of boundless competition which will take place against a backdrop of cooperation.” (Kim Dae-jung 1998) Introduction Global competitiveness has become the most urgent imperative for contemporary states to respond to. The European Management Forum commented, as early as 1979: “competitiveness has become to economics what gravity is to physics: one (of) the fundamental forces which underlie the major events […] like gravity, it is a force that one cannot escape. It affects equally companies that need to grow, individuals who want to preserve their jobs, and, of course, nations to sustain and increase their standard of living. Understanding how competitiveness works is necessary for all.” (EMF 1979) Competitiveness has now been normalized, accepted as an inexorable force to which nations should adapt. Fougner notes: “The prominence and meta-character of the ‘competitiveness problem’ in contemporary reflections on state governance can hardly be exaggerated”. (Fougner 2006, 165) No state has taken this imperative as seriously as South Korea. From the end of the military dictatorship in the 1980s up to now, South Korean governments have led strategies to open Korea to the world, and make it a global country, responding to a perceived necessity to “globalize or perish” and to upgrade South Korean competitiveness in an era of “boundless competition” (Kim Dae-jung 1998).

  • The Pervasiveness and Policy Consequences of Medical Folk Wisdom in the U.S
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The pervasiveness and policy consequences of medical folk wisdom in the U.S. Matthew Motta1* & Timothy Callaghan2 Medical folk wisdom (MFW) refers to widely held, but factually inaccurate, beliefs about disease, immunity, pregnancy, and other medically-relevant topics. Examples include the idea that fasting when feverish (“starving a fever”) can increase the pace of recovery, or that showering after sex can prevent pregnancy. The pervasiveness of MFW, and whether or not it—like other forms of medically- relevant misinformation—shapes Americans’ health behaviors and policy preferences is an important and under-studied question. We begin this research by proposing and validating a novel measure of MFW; including a short-form scale suitable for administration in public opinion surveys. We fnd that nearly all Americans—irrespective of socio-economic status, political orientation, and educational background—endorse at least some aspects of MFW. Concerningly, and consistent with the idea that folk wisdom challenges scientifc expertise, we additionally fnd that those highest in MFW tend to place less value on medical expertise and the role experts play in shaping health policy. However, this skepticism does not appear to translate to peoples’ health actions, as MFW appears to have an inconsistent efect on public participation in healthy behaviors. In the age of “fake news” and the anti-vaccine movement, social scientists have taken interest in the efect of medically-relevant misinformation on Americans’ health behaviors—e.g., consulting and heeding advice from medical professionals1—and health policy orientations—e.g., attitudes towards universal vaccination require- ments for public school children2.
