A lot is happening in the Open Science world, as everybody realizes more and more the importance of open, transparent and participatory research practices. However, we tend to forget, in the ongoing conversations, what Open Science means to different audiences, coming from diverse or even underrepresented backgrounds.
In this webinar, I talk about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Inclusiveness.
I make the case that research excellence, as we know it, hampers the real achievement of these values, which are non-negotiable and must be built into the foundation of what we are all trying to achieve in the ongoing efforts of democratizing knowledge.

This is an updated version of an invited talk I presented at the European Research Council-Brussels (Scientific Seminar): "Love for Science or 'academic prostitution'".
It has been updated to be presented at the The Spanish and Portuguese Relativity Meetings (EREP) on 6th July 2019.
I have included new slides and revised others.
I present a personal revision (sometimes my own vision) of some issues that I consider key for doing Science. It was at the time focused on the expected audience, mainly Scientific Officers with background in different fields of science and scholarship, but also Agency staff.
Abstract: In a recent Special issue of Nature concerning Science Metrics it was claimed that " Research reverts to a kind of 'academic prostitution' in which work is done to please editors and referees rather than to further knowledge."If this is true, funding agencies should try to avoid falling into the trap of their own system. By perpetuating this 'prostitution' they risk not funding the best research but funding the best sold research.
Given the current epoch of economical crisis, where in a quest for funds researchers are forced into competitive game of pandering to panelists, its seems a good time for deep reflection about the entire scientific system.
With this talk I aim to provoke extra critical thinking among the committees who select evaluators, and among the evaluators, who in turn require critical thinking to the candidates when selecting excellent science.
I present some initiatives (e.g. new tracers of impact for the Web era- 'altmetrics'), and on-going projects (e.g. how to move from publishing advertising to publishing knowledge), that might enable us to favor Science over marketing.
Here we present our experience and research outcomes regarding one of the possible approaches to disseminate knowledge. The independent educational project with flexible formula provides many benefits both for participants, and teachers. The advantages incudes, but are not limited to, clearly hearable voice in public debate and/or useful preliminary results from experimental research. We argument here also for significant educational impact of this approach.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

The cumulative advantage effect that
comes with the rhetoric of excellence
increases the stakes of the competition
for resources; encourages
gamesmanship; discourages the pursuit
and publication of types of “Normal
Science” (such as replication studies);
creates a bias towards novel, positive,
and even inflated results

If your experiment fails, it doesn't
mean the science was badly done,
or much less, that you're a bad
scientist.
When we reject failure, we create a
culture of punishment, artificial

When we embrace failure, we

“English is the lingua franca of Science”; native English speakers tend to
assume that all important information on the web is in English
what are the risks associated with this assumption?

Languages Are Still a Major Barrier to Global Science, Amano et al., 2016
“English is the lingua franca of Science”; native English speakers tend to
assume that all important information on the web is in English
what are the risks associated with this assumption?
- over-representation of positive and/or statistically significant results
(usually published in high IF English journals)

- just one example: key articles reporting the infection of pigs with
avian influenza viruses in China initially went unnoticed by the WHO
because they were published in Chinese-language journals
26. Languages are still a major
barrier to global science
- as publication in English has become prevalent, much scientific
knowledge is now unavailable in local languages (pressure on scientists
under the premise that the IF of a journal is positively related to the quality of
the science it publishes and that publishing in high IF journals is the best way to
demonstrate the excellence of local scientists)

- many journals, previously published in local languages, are now
publishing mainly in English to increase their impacts on scientific
communities globally (see SciELO Brasil journals)

- there is a clear knowledge transfer problem, especially for local
practitioners, policy makers and the public at large who wants (and
has all the rights) to access this knowledge
29. How to recover lost
Science in translation
Transcending language barriers requires societal, institutional, and
individual-level changes
- when compiling databases and systematic reviews, one simple, yet
rarely adopted, solution is to include in the discussion speakers of a
wide range of languages

- when compiling databases and systematic reviews, one simple, yet

- especially in influential global assessments, scientific literature published
in non-English languages should be included and considered equally
(again, include native speakers in the conversation)

- while English plays a crucial role in the current publishing systems by
centralizing scientific knowledge, we also need a system to effectively
redistribute the compiled knowledge to its users

- authors could write lay summaries in their native languages when
submitting articles to journals and journals could then provide
translations of those summaries in multiple languages (a girl can only
dream, right?)

Diversity
Inclusion

39. Diversity
Image by Peter Dazeley on GETTY IMAGES
Diversity = attract different people of
diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences
40. Diversity + Inclusion
Diversity = attract different people of
diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences
Inclusion = empower these people by providing
them an environment that welcomes the best of
those backgrounds, skills and experiences
Image by Peter Dazeley on GETTY IMAGES
41. Inclusion puts
diversity in action
Inclusion puts the concept and practice of
diversity into action by creating an environment
of involvement, respect, and connection - where
the richness of ideas, backgrounds, and
perspectives are harnessed to create value
Science needs both diversity and inclusion
Moving From Diversity to Inclusion, Jordan, 2011
43. How about inclusiveness?
Inclusiveness = inclusion of individuals or groups who
were previously excluded
measured in terms of eligibility, opportunities and
involvement in decision-making and leadership
achieved when members share and not compete for
resources

45. How do we go from Open
Science to Inclusive Science?
the only thing that links all “flavours” of Open Science is
actually Inclusion & Diversity!

we have talked enough about diversity in an implicit way
but we have not focused on it in an explicit way and we
may therefore have missed the real point:
equity, diversity and inclusiveness are non-negotiable

49. It’s up to each and
every one of us
it’s everyone’s responsibility to do
equality and diversity work, most
importantly because it’s the right
thing to do, but also because it’s
“good for business”: innovation
needs diversity to thrive, to develop
ideas, push boundaries and create
knowledge

50. Then why does it seem like
not enough is being done?
One of the reason is simply that researchers are too busy
Too busy to look up, learn, listen, read, imagine
themselves in another’s shoes, call out, and stand against
inequalities, because their privilege protects them from
having to get involved, but also because their demanding
workloads have caused their sense of humanity to take a
back seat and turn a blind eye

53. What can we all do?
- shape the culture by engaging with ours
communities
- reach out, be kind, seek aid, give aid
- support, recommend, acknowledge, advertise,
nominate and motivate each other
- if we enjoy some privilege, we can acknowledge it,
work towards understanding this privilege, and
towards greater inclusion & diversity: be allies
