Humans (and animals) across time and space experience the same basic emotions - things like joy, anger, and fear. But when conducting research, these emotions must be interpreted based on the historical, geographical, and cultural contexts of participants. Listen to this talk by Mariana Melo-Vega, PhD for examples of these contextual ingredients: https://lnkd.in/eAMq8uKy #mrxpros #emotions #mrx

Extremely inspiring and important talk by Fernando Racimo delving into more ethical forms of publishing, which keeps (public) funding where it should be, in the hands of scientists instead of money-draining, colossal publishing groups and their capitalist stakeholders. Have you heard about diamond open access? Must watch! And let me know what your thoughts are!

Not all negative effects of technology are "unintended" - what about cases where they are very much intended? "...the question becomes how should we identify, assess, and mitigate creative malevolent use of emerging technologies? The answer seems to lie with anticipatory governance with its elements of scenario driven foresight, engagement, and integration, however with one caveat. The process needs to start not with an emergent technology looking for malevolent use but with an intractable sociopolitical problem where technological innovation could disturb the status quo in ways plausible but not socially acceptable." #techsafety #design #responsibletech

Among the multitude of innovation usage scenarios and usage extensions are non-intended ones, and such that can be judged as "malevolent" to the individual, the company or society. End of last year I had the pleasure and privilege to discuss with leading international, cross-sectorial innovation experts current use case generation, variation and anticipation practices.

A cleft is a lifelong condition for many which can impact how you look, sound and feel. Bristol has a long history of world-leading cleft research and data is shared with researchers across the globe. Together we can investigate the causes of cleft, best treatments of cleft and better understand what it's like to be an adult living with a cleft.

It was a pleasure to contribute an editorial for this special topic issue of TATuP on malevolent use of emerging technologies: “…how should we identify, assess, and mitigate creative malevolent use of emerging technologies? The answer seems to lie with anticipatory governance with its elements of scenario driven foresight, engagement, and integration, however with one caveat. The process needs to start not with an emergent technology looking for malevolent use but with an intractable sociopolitical problem where technological innovation could disturb the status quo in ways plausible but not socially acceptable.” Checkout the link below for free online access to all articles.
