POPULARITY
In an era where misinformation is rife and spreads at light speed, the role of experts in research is more critical than ever. And yet, historical underrepresentation and systemic biases have led to a lack of trust in research among women and marginalised groups. So how do researchers regain our trust? Why is inclusivity so important? And how can we all better engage in research to ensure it's more equitable and representative moving forward? Mick put these questions to the excellent Dr Suze Kundu, nanochemist, science communicator and freelance journalist, and Research Community Engagement Consultant for NASA Science Explorer. That's right, NASA. And true to data nerd form, Suze had answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
There is no doubt that AI has thrown a lot of our conceptions of science—or at least how we work in and with science—up in the air. Digital Science has written a report about it: “Research Transformation: Change in the Era of AI, open and Impact: voices from the Academic Community.” We invited two of the authors, Suze Kundu and Simon Porter, on the podcast to chat about where this transformation leaves EDI and minorities. We explore the evolving landscape of research practices, the importance of open research, and the need for metrics that reflect inclusivity and holistic impact. The conversation also addresses the challenges of trust and security for minority groups in research, emphasising the need for collaboration and a shift in measuring research success. But we also wanted to push them on the challenges in research transformation, particularly focusing on data sharing, trust-building with communities, the role of AI, and the importance of upskilling researchers. While we perhaps can't avoid this transformation—it can happen in a number of different ways—we must pay attention to who pays the price.

Nanotechnology may seem like something from a sci-fi movie plot, but it's a very real thing and has likely affected many areas of your life, whether you realise it, or not.Nanotechnology looks at dimension and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers. For context, hair follicles or a sheet of paper are 100,000 nanometers thick. So, pretty small… But what is it? How are scientists changing our lives with it? And why was King Charles III famously afraid of it?Dallas Campbell is joined by nanochemist Suze Kundu to find out more.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, James Holland, Mary Beard and more.Get 50% off your first 3 months with code PATENTED.
