To normalize ArtScience, examples need to be shared of its average practitioners within the sciences, in addition to its historical exemplars. Described here are two cases of arts practice informing scientific research as experienced by early-stage researchers in postdoctoral or PhD work. Each case involves different arts approaches and yields different effects on the science; both inform ideas for how to better support and institutionalize ArtScience work.

The Impact

Objective The study examines the integration of the Evidence-based Design (EBD) approach in healthcare architecture education in the context of an academic design studio. Background Previous research addressed the gap between scientific research and architectural practice and the lack of research on the use of the EBD approach in architectural education. Methods The research examines an undergraduate architectural studio to design a Maggie’s Centre for cancer care in Israel and evaluates the impact of the EBD approach on the design process and design outcomes. The research investigates the impact of the integration of three predesign tasks: (1) literature review of healing architecture research, (2) analysis and comparison of existing Maggie’s Centres, and (3) analysis of the context of the design project. Results The literature review of scientific research supported the conceptual design and development of the projects. The analysis of existing Maggie’s centers, which demonstrated the interpretation of the evidence by different architects, developed the students’ ability to evaluate EBD in practice critically, and the study of the projects’ local context led the students to define the relevance of the evidence to support their vision for the project. Conclusions The research demonstrates the advantages of practicing EBD at an early stage in healthcare architectural education to enhance awareness of the impact of architectural design on the users’ health and well-being and the potential to support creativity and innovative design. More studies in design studios are needed to assess the full impact of integrating EBD in architectural education.

AbstractThe Selborne Group comprises two metamorphic rock units, the muscovite±dolomite bearing Madison Marble and the biotite-muscovite±quartz-calcite Contortion Schist, which contains thick lenses of variably deformed metabasalts and metaconglomerates. Petrological and structural data indicate a polyphase metamorphic evolution including: i) an early stage of upper greenschist regional metamorphism (P = ~0.15–0.3 GPa; T = ~380–450°C), ii) prograde metamorphism during D1 up to amphibolite facies peak conditions (P = 0.58–0.8 GPa, T = ~560–645°C), iii) syn-D2 unloading-cooling retrograde metamorphism, iv) a post-D2 contact metamorphic overprint at variable T between 450 and 550°C and ~0.2 GPa connected to the emplacement of granitic plutons and felsic dyke swarms. Geochronological data constrain the polyphase syn-D1/D2 evolution between ~ 510 and 492 Ma. A similar metamorphic path, including a medium P stage but at lower T conditions, is documented in greenschist facies metabasalts within the Byrd Group in the Mount Dick area. The metamorphic pattern and close lithostratigraphic matching between Selborne Group and Byrd Group sharply contrast with the high-grade Horney Formation that is exposed north of the Byrd Glacier and corroborate the hypothesis that the Byrd Glacier discontinuity marks a first-order crustal tectonic boundary crossing the Ross orogen.

Science Research is a three-year program that offers gifted students the opportunity to journey into scientific research under the apprenticeship of a research mentor, where they can gain an understanding of the underpinnings of modern scientific research – an opportunity that most high school students do not encounter in their formal science coursework. Come learn about this program, which skillfully marries the ideas of experiential learning and social experience, which is supported and structured by classroom learning. The talk will include information about the classroom course, which serves as a support system for the literacy skills needed to successfully design an original project, independently. In addition, an example of a high school crystallography partnership project will be presented. "Senior scientists (e.g., teachers, researchers, etc.) and students working together in a mutual learning process is the strongest model for student retention and personal involvement in science. Furthermore, there is no better way to excite students and to insure their continued involvement in scientific pursuits than to give them individualized active engagement and ownership of part of a creative scientific activity at an early stage in their development." Science Research provides a unique opportunity for students to join a professional laboratory where advanced skills and critical thinking strategies are developed with concomitant support from their school in the development of college-level scientific learning skills and an understanding of the true meaning of scientific inquiry.

AbstractKnowledge management plays an important role in scientific research and provides a basis for technical development in the era of Big Data. Studies of Cenozoic volcanoes in China have been undertaken for more than half a century, generating plentiful relevant literature and data. However, these data have stayed scattered between different authors and libraries, and as such hamper management and access. Based on theories Knowledge Bases and related technologies, we developed the Knowledge Base of Cenozoic Volcanoes (KBCV) to collect such volcanic data in China. The directory tree of the KBCV is structured based on five levels according to the volcano distribution, magma origin, data type, and file format. Data handled by the KBCV supports querying, searching, and browsing. The KBCV can provide well-managed Cenozoic volcanic data and technical support for scientific research and public communication. The KBCV is still in its early stage and is imperfect with respect to data completeness and universalization of the system, and efforts are being made to continuously sophisticate and popularize the system.

AbstractA significant share of new technology-based ventures exit through trade sale at an early stage of firm development. While trade sale is an important exit route for entrepreneurs and investors, and a potential source of new innovations and technology for acquiring firms, we have limited knowledge about the factors that help to effectively achieve a trade sale. We employ a unique dataset tracking the population of research-based spin-offs in Norway and conduct in-depth case studies of nine trade sales. Building on 52 interviews and other secondary data, we inductively develop propositions outlining three dimensions that lead to a successful trade sale—potential synergies, credible alternatives, and uncertainty reduction. We show that these enablers of trade sales are not only linked to the focal venture but also related to the idiosyncratic dyad with the buyer, reflecting both the potential for and likelihood of trade sale. Consequently, our study contributes to the literatures on entrepreneurial exit and academic entrepreneurship by mapping the important but under-explored area of trade sale as an exit mode.Plain English SummaryPotential synergies and credible alternatives increase the potential of a research-based spin-offs’ trade sale, but the likelihood of a trade sale depends on how uncertainty reduction is managed. A trade sale is an important exit route for entrepreneurs and investors, and a potential source of new innovations and technology for acquiring firms. Research-based spin-offs are often acquired during their early stages of development by large corporations. We track the population of Norwegian research-based spin-offs and study nine trade sales in depth. Our findings concerning the importance of synergy potential, credible alternatives, and uncertainty reduction have implications for both academic entrepreneurs and potential buyers for how they can complete an exit through trade sale. Since scientific research is critical for society, our findings have implications for policymakers in the form of interesting ideas for influencing trade sales, a potentially important route for commercialization of scientific research.

The aim of the article is to identify the analogy between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and science social responsibility (SSR) on the basis of scientific research. Five research questions were formulated regarding trends in research in these two areas. Data for analyzes were obtained from the global bibliographic database Scopus and related to scientific articles from 1937 to 2019. The main analogies were identified. Scientific research in both areas began in the same period and is carried out mainly in social and management sciences. However, discrepancies have also been identified. Research on CSR has developed far more than SSR, which is still at an early stage of development. Research on CSR is conducted in leading countries in the scientific and academic arena, and SSR rather in countries entering it. CSR has knowledge sharing platforms in the form of reputable, profiled journals, while SSR research is published in journals of lower reputation and with general rather than strictly SSR profiles. Research in the field of CSR is detailed and more often cited, while those related to SSR are general and less frequently cited. After all, research from both areas seems to be promising and worth further development.

At a time when issues related to Open Access to scientific information are daily discussed, it is considered valid to better understand research data repositories and how they are organized. Thus, this study carried out a mapping of the research data repositories currently active in Portugal, in order to analyze its organization. Were considered issues about the theme of the repository, the type of content stored, the metadata used in documents’ description and under which collections/categories the content is aggregated. Through the consultation of the re3Data and OpenDoar portals, 67 repositories were identified, of which seven were selected for the study: only open access repositories that contained data from scientific research, maintained by Portuguese institutions. The small number of repositories, as well as items stored in the analyzed repositories, points to the fact that the state of the art of research data repositories in Portugal is still at an early stage.

Ove Hoegh-Guldberg is the inaugural director of the Global Change Institute and a professor of marine science at the University of Queensland, Australia. He has held academic positions at the University of California, Los Angeles, Stanford University, and the University of Sydney, and is a member of the Australian Climate Group and the Royal Society (London) Marine Advisory Network. In 1999, he was awarded the Eureka Prize for his scientific research. I interviewed Hoegh-Guldberg twice: once at the early stage of my fieldwork (February 25, 2015) and again more than two years later (May 22, 2017). I also met him in Waikiki, Hawai’i, on June 23, 2016. The following text is an edited compilation of our conversations. Hoegh-Guldberg has been cautioning about the impacts of climate change on coral reefs since the 1990s and has lobbied politicians on this front for many years. I couldn’t envision writing a chapter on global bleaching without foregrounding his narrative....
