Mashup Score: 9Tracking, targeting, and conserving soil biodiversity - 3 year(s) ago
Nature conservation literature and policy instruments mainly focus on the impacts of human development and the benefits of nature conservation for oceans and aboveground terrestrial organisms (e.g., birds and plants) and processes (e.g., food production), but these efforts almost completely ignore the majority of terrestrial biodiversity that is unseen and living in the soil ([ 1 ][1]). Little is…

Mashup Score: 7Coevolution of policy and science during the pandemic - 3 year(s) ago
Disconnects between science and policy, in which important scientific insights may be missed by policymakers and bad scientific advice may infect decision-making, are a long-standing concern ([ 1 ][1]–[ 7 ][2]). Yet, our systematic understanding of the use of science in policy remains limited ([ 1 ][1], [ 4 ][3]–[ 6 ][4]), partly because of the difficulty in reliably tracing the coevolution of…

Mashup Score: 28Mapping the global threat of land subsidence - 3 year(s) ago
Subsidence, the lowering of Earth’s land surface, is a potentially destructive hazard that can be caused by a wide range of natural or anthropogenic triggers but mainly results from solid or fluid mobilization underground. Subsidence due to groundwater depletion ([ 1 ][1]) is a slow and gradual process that develops on large time scales (months to years), producing progressive loss of land…

A new model predicts the threat of sinking land will affect 635 million people worldwide. The #SciMagPolicyForum results represent “a key first step toward formulating effective land-subsidence policies that are lacking in most countries worldwide.” ($) https://t.co/UDltdaPdX6 https://t.co/6pdhTLkotO

Mashup Score: 12Core commitments for field trials of gene drive organisms - 3 year(s) ago
Gene drive organisms (GDOs), whose genomes have been genetically engineered to spread a desired allele through a population, have the potential to transform the way societies address a wide range of daunting public health and environmental challenges. The development, testing, and release of GDOs, however, are complex and often controversial. A key challenge is to clarify the appropriate roles of…

Mashup Score: 7COVID-19 vaccine trial ethics once we have efficacious vaccines - 3 year(s) ago
The unprecedented effort to identify one or more safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19 includes more than 180 candidates in development ([ 1 ][1]), with at least 12 in phase 3 trials ([ 2 ][2]). The testing of so many vaccine candidates, in a pandemic of a disease for which there are to date limited treatment options, raises a critical challenge: What should researchers do if a vaccine…
