RESUMO

The knowledge produced by conservation scientists must be actionable in order to address urgent conservation challenges. To understand the process of creating actionable science, we interviewed 71 conservation scientists who had participated in 1 of 3 fellowship programs focused on training scientists to become agents of change. Using a grounded theory approach, we identified 16 activities that these researchers employed to make their scientific products more actionable. Some activities were more common than others and, arguably, more foundational. We organized these activities into 3 nested categories (motivations, strategies, and tactics). Using a co-occurrence matrix, we found that most activities were positively correlated. These correlations allowed us to identify 5 approaches, framed as profiles, to actionable science: the discloser, focused on open access; the educator, focused on science communication; the networker, focused on user needs and building relationships; the collaborator, focused on boundary spanning; and the pluralist, focused on knowledge coproduction resulting in valuable outcomes for all parties. These profiles build on one another in a hierarchy determined by their complexity and level of engagement, their potential to support actionable science, and their proximity to ideal coproduction with knowledge users. Our results provide clear guidance for conservation scientists to generate actionable science to address the global biodiversity conservation challenge.


Cinco estrategias para producir ciencia práctica en la conservación Resumen El conocimiento producido por los científicos de la conservación debe ser práctico para poder abordar los obstáculos urgentes que enfrenta la conservación. Entrevistamos a 71 científicos de la conservación que participaron en uno de los tres programas de becas enfocados en la formación de científicos como agentes de cambio para entender el proceso de creación de la ciencia práctica. Usamos una estrategia de teoría fundamentada para identificar 16 actividades empleadas por estos investigadores para hacer más prácticos sus productos científicos. Algunas actividades fueron más comunes que otras y, probablemente, más fundamentales. Organizamos estas actividades en tres categorías anidadas: motivaciones, estrategias y tácticas. Con una matriz de co-ocurrencia, encontramos que la mayoría de las actividades estaban correlacionadas positivamente. Estas correlaciones nos permitieron identificar cinco estrategias, encuadradas como perfiles, para la ciencia práctica: la reveladora, enfocada en el acceso abierto; la educativa, enfocada en la comunicación de la ciencia; la interconectora, enfocada en las necesidades del usuario y en construir relaciones; la colaborativa, enfocada en la expansión de las fronteras; y la pluralista, enfocada en la coproducción del conocimiento como el origen de resultados valiosos para todas las partes. Estas estrategias se apoyan entre sí en una jerarquía determinada por su complejidad y el nivel de compromiso, su potencial para apoyar la ciencia práctica y su proximidad a la coproducción ideal con los usuarios del conocimiento. Nuestros resultados proporcionan directrices claras para que los científicos de la conservación generen ciencia práctica para abordar los retos de conservación que enfrenta la biodiversidad mundial.

RESUMO

Introducción: La comunicación científica resulta relevante para la formación de profesionales de la salud, quienes apoyan su ejercicio en la sistemática investigación en sus respectivas áreas y requieren incorporar destrezas para la investigación durante los años de formación, desarrollarlas y mantenerlas una vez graduados, y junto a ello, ser capaces de comunicar sus resultados investigativos a colegas y comunidad en general. Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados de una estrategia de comunicación para la socialización de los resultados investigativos de profesores e investigadores de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la UCSG, entre 2018 y 2019. Métodos: Se aplicó el método de estudio de caso, con enfoque metodológico mixto, aplicación de encuesta a muestra probabilística y entrevista en profundidad a muestra intencional. Resultados: Se incrementó el nivel de conocimiento sobre resultados investigativos de la universidad estudiada, así como el nivel de audiencia del programa de divulgación científica en convergencia de medios. Se constató además, la necesidad del uso de redes sociales como Instagram, Facebook y Twitter para poder llegar a otro tipo de público y generar ese interés de conocimiento en la sociedad en áreas tan importantes como la salud. Conclusiones: La Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil genera resultados investigativos constantes, es necesario comunicarlos, a fin de contribuir a la democratización de la ciencia mediante espacios divulgativos abiertos al público en general, potenciando así los proyectos en el área de la salud, y las respuestas a las necesidades que la sociedad demanda(AU)


Introduction: Scientific communication is very relevant for the training of health professionals, who support their exercise in systematic research in their respective areas and need to incorporate research skills during the training years, develop and maintain them once they graduate, and together with Therefore, be able to communicate their research results to colleagues and the community in general. Objetive: To evaluate the results of an integrated communication strategy of traditional and digital media for the socialization of the research results of professors and researchers of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the UCSG, between 2018 and 2019. Methods: The case study method was applied, with a mixed methodological approach, with the application of a survey to a probabilistic sample and an in-depth interview to an intentional sample. Results: The level of knowledge about the research results of the studied university increased, as well as the level of audience of the I-100 program, analyzed. It was also verified the need to use social networks such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter in order to reach other types of audiences and generate interest in knowledge in society in areas as important as health. Conclusions: The Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil generates constant research results, it is necessary to communicate them, in order to contribute to the democratization of science through informative spaces open to the general public, thus promoting projects in the area of health, and the answers to the needs that society demands(AU)

RESUMO

RESUMEN En los actuales debates sobre conocimiento y descolonización de la memoria se pregunta por el lugar que tiene en la política pública el saber ancestral y su relación con la sociedad. Articular el trabajo de las narrativas digitales en museos comunitarios y centros locales de memoria se convierte en reto para la supervivencia de este medio de comunicación para la apropiación social del patrimonio cultural material e inmaterial y natural de la nación. La Netnografía como método de investigación en línea permite indagar en estos sitios esa relación desigual entre el centro y la periferia. Se identifican prácticas centralistas con fuerte tradición colonial que se niegan a desaparecer e impiden la implementación de iniciativas locales y regionales en favor de la verdad y la recuperación de la memoria colectiva.


ABSTRACT In the current debates on knowledge and decolonization of memory, the question is about the place that ancestral knowledge and its relationship with society have in public policy. Articulating the work of digital narratives in community museums and local memory centers becomes a challenge for the survival of this means of communication for the apprehension of the material and intangible and natural cultural heritage of the nation. Netnography, as an online research method, makes it possible to investigate in these sites that unequal relationship between the center and the periphery. Centralist practices with a strong colonial tradition are identified that refuse to disappear and impede the implementation of local and regional initiatives in favor of the truth and the recovery of collective memory.

RESUMO

Animal welfare is increasingly important in the understanding of how human activity affects wildlife, but the conservation community is still grappling with meaningful terminology when communicating this aspect of their work. One example is the use of the terms "humane" and "inhumane." These terms are used in scientific contexts, but they also have legal and social definitions. Without reference to a defined technical standard, describing an action or outcome as humane (or inhumane) constrains science communication because the terms have variable definitions; establish a binary (something is either humane or inhumane); and imply underlying values reflecting a moral prescription. Invoking the term "humane," and especially the strong antithesis "inhumane," can infer a normative judgment of how animals ought to be treated (humane) or ought not to be treated (inhumane). The consequences of applying this terminology are not just academic. Publicizing certain practices as humane can create blurred lines around contentious animal welfare questions and, perhaps intentionally, defer scrutiny of actual welfare outcomes. Labeling other practices as inhumane can be used cynically to erode their public support. We suggest that, if this normative language is used in science, it should always be accompanied by a clear, contextual definition of what is meant by humane.


Reconsideración de la Condición Humana Resumen El bienestar animal es cada vez más importante para el entendimiento de cómo la actividad humana afecta a la fauna, pero la comunidad conservacionista todavía lucha con la terminología significativa cuando comunica este aspecto de su trabajo. Un ejemplo es el uso de los términos humano e inhumano. Estos términos se usan dentro de contextos científicos, pero también cuentan con definiciones sociales y legales. Sin la referencia a un estándar técnico definido, la descripción de una acción o resultado como humano (o inhumano) restringe la comunicación de la ciencia pues estos términos tienen definiciones variables; establecen una opción binaria (algo sólo es humano o sólo es inhumano); e implican valores subyacentes que reflejan una prescripción moral. La invocación del término humano, y especialmente su fuerte antítesis inhumano, puede inferir un juicio normativo sobre cómo los animales deberían ser tratados (humano) o no deberían ser tratados (inhumano). Las consecuencias de aplicar esta terminología no son sólo académicas. La divulgación de ciertas prácticas como humanas puede generar confusión entorno a preguntas polémicas sobre el bienestar animal y, tal vez de manera intencional, aplazar el escrutinio de los resultados actuales para el bienestar. Al contrario, la denominación de otras prácticas como inhumanas puede usarse cínicamente para menoscabar el apoyo público que reciben. Sugerimos que, si se utiliza este lenguaje normativo en la ciencia, siempre debería estar acompañado de una definición clara y contextual de a lo que se refiere con el término humano.

RESUMO

Experiencia práctica: socialización de conceptos, aplicaciones y beneficios de la biotecnología en Costa Rica. Los procesos biotecnológicos han acompañado a la humanidad desde el inicio de la civilización; prueba de esto es el uso de levaduras para preparar pan, vino y cerveza. La biotecnología también ha sido fundamental en el mejo ramiento de plantas y animales que son parte de la dieta humana; y las técnicas de cultivo in vitro han acelerado el proceso de obtener mejores cultivos para nuestra creciente población. El proyecto "Biotecnología para todos: socialización de conceptos, aplicaciones y beneficios" socializa los conceptos, aplicaciones y beneficios de la biotecnología entre educadores, grupos formadores de opinión, y productores de los sectores de agricultura y alimentos. El proyecto ha utilizado exitosamente nuevas tecnologías para lograr sus objetivos.


Biotechnological processes have accompanied humanity since the beginning of civilization; proof of this is the use of yeasts for the preparation of bread, wine and beer. Biotechnology has also been fundamental in the improvement of plants and animals that are part of the human diet; and in vitro culture techniques have accelerated the processes for obtaining better crops for our growing population. The project "Biotechnology for everyone: Socialization of concepts, applications and benefits" socializes the concepts, applications and benefits of biotechnology among educators, opinion-forming groups, and producers in the agricultural and food sectors. The project has successfully used new technologies to reach its goals.

RESUMO

Scholars across all disciplines have long been interested in how knowledge moves within and beyond their community of peers. Rapid environmental changes and calls for sustainable management practices mean the best knowledge possible is needed to inform decisions, policies, and practices to protect biodiversity and sustainably manage vulnerable natural resources. Although the conservation literature on knowledge exchange (KE) and knowledge mobilization (KM) has grown in recent years, much of it is based on context-specific case studies. This presents a challenge for learning cumulative lessons from KE and KM research and thus effectively using knowledge in conservation and natural resources management. Although continued research on the gap between knowledge and action is valuable, overarching conceptual frameworks are now needed to enable summaries and comparisons across diverse KE-KM research. We propose a knowledge-action framework that provides a conceptual roadmap for future research and practice in KE/KM with the aim of synthesizing lessons learned from contextual case studies and guiding the development and testing of hypotheses in this domain. Our knowledge-action framework has 3 elements that occur at multiple levels and scales: knowledge production (e.g., academia and government), knowledge mediation (e.g., knowledge networks, actors, relational dimension, and contextual dimension), and knowledge-based action (e.g., instrumental, symbolic, and conceptual). The framework integrates concepts from the sociology of science in particular, and serves as a guide to further comprehensive understanding of knowledge exchange and mobilization in conservation and sustainable natural resource management.

RESUMO

Scientists are increasingly using Twitter as a tool for communicating science. Twitter can promote scholarly discussion, disseminate research rapidly, and extend and diversify the scope of audiences reached. However, scientists also caution that if Twitter does not accurately convey science due to the inherent brevity of this media, misinformation could cascade quickly through social media. Data on whether Twitter effectively communicates conservation science and the types of user groups receiving these tweets are lacking. To address these knowledge gaps, we examined live tweeting as a means of communicating conservation science at the 2013 International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB). We quantified and compared the user groups sending and reading live tweets. We also surveyed presenters to determine their intended audiences, which we compared with the actual audiences reached through live tweeting. We also asked presenters how effectively tweets conveyed their research findings. Twitter reached 14 more professional audience categories relative to those attending and live tweeting at ICCB. However, the groups often reached through live tweeting were not the presenters' intended audiences. Policy makers and government and non-governmental organizations were rarely reached (0%, 4%, and 6% of audience, respectively), despite the intent of the presenters. Plenary talks were tweeted about 6.9 times more than all other oral or poster presentations combined. Over half the presenters believed the tweets about their talks were effective. Ineffective tweets were perceived as vague or missing the presenters' main message. We recommend that presenters who want their science to be communicated accurately and broadly through Twitter should provide Twitter-friendly summaries that incorporate relevant hashtags and usernames. Our results suggest that Twitter can be used to effectively communicate speakers' findings to diverse audiences beyond conference walls.

RESUMO

La sociedad de conocimiento crea condiciones favorables para la comunicación de la ciencia, mientras coloca a los periodistas científicos bajo presión. Los periodistas que trabajan al ritmo de la ciencia son actores clave en la cadena de comunicación que mantiene vivo el vasto diálogo de la ciencia en la sociedad, pero su situación profesional se está tornando precaria. Los estudios recientes se centran en observaciones sistemáticas sobre las condiciones de trabajo, la ética profesional y el futuro de la ciencia del reportaje en los medios masivos. Estos estudios nos permiten evaluar tendencias y poner en perspectiva la “percepción de crisis” en la profesión. El artículo informa algunos resultados interpretados a la luz de tendencias más abarcadoras respecto de la relación ciencia–sociedad y de la necesidad de una esfera científica pública dinámica...

RESUMO

Drawing on the idea that biodiversity is simply the diversity of living things, and that everyone knows what diversity and living things mean, most conservation professionals eschew the need to explain the many complex ways in which biodiversity is understood in science. On many biodiversity-related issues, this lack of clarity leads to a communication gap between science and the general public, including decision makers who must design and implement biodiversity policies. Closing this communication gap is pivotal to the ability of science to inform sound environmental decision making. To address this communication gap, we propose a surrogate of biodiversity for communication purposes that captures the scientific definition of biodiversity yet can be understood by nonscientists; that is, biodiversity as a learning experience. The prerequisites of this or any other biodiversity communication surrogate are that it should have transdisciplinary relevance; not be measurable; be accessible to a wide audience; be usable to translate biodiversity issues; and understandably encompass biodiversity concepts. Biodiversity as a learning experience satisfies these prerequisites and is philosophically robust. More importantly, it can effectively contribute to closing the communication gap between biodiversity science and society at large.
