This collaborative article, written by graduate students who attended the Politics of Care in Technoscience Workshop, brings the themes in this volume to bear on their own developing science and technology study projects and research practices. Exploring the contours of five specific moments where questions of care have arisen in the course of their everyday research, they do not find a single or untroubled definition of care; instead, care is often a site of ambivalence, tension, and puzzlement. However, despite this uneasiness, they argue that taking the time to reflect on the multiple, sometimes conflicting, forms and definitions of care within a specific research context can inform the way that science and technology studies scholars envision and conduct their work.
benefit from media savvy, and the miniseminar will conclude with proven strategies for maximizing the media impact of manuscripts accepted for publication. These strategies include using articles in press to your advantage. Time will be allotted at the conclusion for questions and answers. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1) Learn current strategies to maximize the chance of successful manuscript publication. 2) Understand how hot topics in peer review and biomedical publishing impact authors. 3) Recognize best practices for disclosing competing interests and sponsored research.
with their patients. Rob Hanscom, Vice President of Loss Prevention of Risk Management Foundation (a branch of Harvard's medical malpractice carrier), will explain why insurance carriers may support thoughtful disclosure and apology policies. We will discuss issues of what and when to disclose to patients about adverse events, and the difficult question of when an apology is and is not appropriate. We will also present effective techniques both for disclosure and (when appropriate) apology. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 1) Understand the literature supporting disclosure and apology as the ethically appropriate response to adverse events. 2) Understand the evidence that disclosure and apology reduce the likelihood of litigation. 3) Know strategies to facilitate disclosure and apology after errors and adverse events.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
