Title

Full title: Scientific Neocolonialism: tools and mechanisms to advocate and amplify the voices, knowledge and recognition of local knowledge in geoscience research Following on from the success of the EGU22 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee Union Symposium 'Scientific Neocolonialism: What is it and why should you care?', EGU would like to expand the conversation surrounding this important topic. In particular, this Great Debate aimed to hear from people that have experienced neocolonialism in science, to acknowledge the issues, explore solutions that our scientific community and the EGU can implement to raise awareness, and discuss examples to eliminate neocolonialism from our geoscience ecosystem. In particular, the Debate continued conversations on the following questions: - Why is it vital that local communities participate in geoscientific research? - Which barriers are preventing inclusion of local communities within the geoscience research ecosystem (this will include personal testimonials from geoscientists from under-represented countries)? - What are the tools and mechanisms to advocate and amplify the voices and recognition of local knowledge in geoscience research? - How can research funding help geoscientists construct meaningful and fair scientific exchange with local communities where international science is conducted? - How can institutions help geoscientists to conduct science including local communities? This Great Debate features the following contributors: - Dr Helen Glaves, EGU President, British Geological Survey data scientist. - Dr Rebecca Haacker, Director National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Education & Outreach, Program Director for Integrated Activities, Geosciences Directorate, National Science Foundation. - Ms Wendy Khumalo, Palaeoclimatology PhD candidate, The National Laboratory of Age Determination, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. - Dr Tim Rawling, Chief Executive Officer, AuScope Limited, committee member Geoscience Indigenous Collaboration and Engagement Specialist Group. - Dr Anouk Beniest, Department of Geology and Geochemistry, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Convener: Robyn Pickering Co-conveners: Anouk Beniest, Barbara Ervens, Giuliana Panieri, Loyuá Costa EDITORS NOTE: All opinions, statements and questions are the speakers own and do not necessarily reflect the European Geosciences Union, but have been shared here in the name of supporting open, transparent and unedited discussion on this topic.

The gut microbiota is the microbial community that occupies the gastrointestinal tract, which is responsible for producing enzymes and molecules essential for host metabolism and for response and adaptation to the environment. Increasing evidence demonstrates the importance of a balanced gut microbiota for mammalian health, for example in regulating the immune and endocrine systems, or in digesting food and producing vitamins. However, little is known about the impact of the microbial community in the gut on host reproduction, and if the consequences of an altered paternal microbiota influence the next generation. The Hackett group at EMBL Rome showed that disrupting the gut microbiota in male mice increases the probability that their offspring are born with low weight, have severe growth restriction, and die prematurely. Their unprecedented findings might help to prevent some birth complications in humans.

Are recent US developments in biotechnology and national security impacting UK companies? This webinar explores the implications of the BIOSECURE Act and President Biden's Executive Order on data privacy, including genomic data, biometric data, personal health data, geolocation data and financial data. If the BIOSECURE bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of Select Committee Members in the US Senate and the House goes through, it could severely impact US companies’ ability and desire to contract with biotechnology entities from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Moreover, the bill also specifically names certain companies related to the People’s Republic of China —BGI, MGI, Complete Genomics, WuXi AppTec, and their affiliates—as companies of concern. How are UK life science companies responding to these developments and what does it mean for our ecosystem? Join us on this webinar to learn more about how the environment may change with these developments, and what they mean for UK companies looking to expand and develop overseas.

Our oceans are facing a crisis. With the help of #algae there are many ways to tackle these problems and restore our waters. The LOCALITY project develops circular and sustainable value chains from algae, linking industrial players to stimulate co-creation and bring new and innovative algae-based products to regional and global markets while protecting and restoring Europe’s aquatic ecosystems. LOCALITY sets the basis for the market uptake of innovative, socially responsible, and sustainable food, aquafeed ingredients, agriculture, and textile products. For these products algae biomasses and ingredients from side streams and the Baltic and North Seas are used. The project further demonstrate their social and economic benefits, define commercialisation strategies and ensure consumer and market acceptance. Project results, developed technologies, and products to relevant stakeholders, thus fostering the replication of such circular ecosystems are disseminated. In this animation video we take the viewer on a journey of what the project is developing.

Participatory Turns: The bumpy roads to recognition of participatory approaches in the social sciences, and lessons for citizen science The integration of societal participation into the production of scientific knowledge stands as a core principle within citizen science. Although participatory methods have a long tradition in the social sciences — exemplified by participatory action research in fields like sociology, education, and anthropology — a historical examination unveils the intricacies and obstacles tied to these methods' acceptance and application. Historically, participatory research often found recognition only on the fringes of academic discourse, encountering structural and power-related barriers. Moreover, the demarcation between political engagement and social science research was a recurring dilemma.

The Challenge of Continuous Adaptation: Citizen Science for a Changing World We’re at an unprecedented moment in human history. Technology is outpacing policy, transformations through open science have yet to become mainstream, climate change and the loss of biodiversity speed along faster than solutions. But the human ability to thrive in the face of adversity means there is hope. The fundamentals of citizen science can offer us ways forwards in this era of discontinuity – what is essential and what new approaches do we need to embrace?

Short description The webinar is focused on the French practical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of relapsing Polychondritis (RP). RP usually begins in middle-aged individuals. This diagnosis is mainly suggested in the presence of chondritis, i.e. inflammatory flares on the cartilage, in particular of the ears, nose or respiratory tract, and more rarely in the presence of other manifestations. The formal diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis cannot be established with certainty before the onset of chondritis, which can sometimes occur several years after the first signs. No laboratory test is specific of relapsing polychondritis, the diagnosis is usually based on clinical evidence and the elimination of differential diagnoses. Relapsing polychondritis is a long-lasting and often unpredictable disease, evolving in the form of relapses interspersed with periods of remission that can be very prolonged. Its management is not codified and depends on the nature of the patient’s symptoms and association or not with myelo-dysplasia/vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS). Some minor forms can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or a short course of corticosteroids with possibly a background treatment of colchicine. However, the treatment strategy is often based on the lowest possible dosage of corticosteroids combined with background treatment with conventional immunosuppressants (e.g. methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, rarely cyclophosphamide) or targeted therapies. Specific strategies are required if relapsing polychondritis is associated with myelodysplasia/VEXAS. Forms limited to the cartilage of the nose or ears have a good prognosis. Involvement of the cartilage of the respiratory tract, cardiovascular involvement, and association with myelodysplasia/VEXAS (more frequent in men over 50 years of age) are detrimental to the prognosis of the disease. Speaker Prof. Laurent Arnaud (MD, PhD) is full Professor of Rheumatology at Strasbourg University & Academic Hospitals (France). He obtained his medical degree and a PhD in immunology from Paris University. His main clinical interests focus on the care of patients with autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and relapsing polychondritis (RP). He is leading a research group focusing on innovative strategies to study the epidemiology of autoimmune diseases, with a particular interest for the use of novel diagnostic and therapeutic digital strategies based on big data and Artificial Intelligence. With his team at the French National Reference Center for Rare Autoimmune Diseases of Strasbourg (CRMR RESO), he has published more than 200 articles in the field of rare diseases. Professor Arnaud is currently the President of the European Lupus Society (SLEuro) and Disease Coordinator for Lupus and relapsing polychondritis of the ERN ReCONNET. He is the curator of a twitter account (@Lupusreference) followed by more than 15.5k people.

In this press conference, scientists explain how Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps to keep track of tropical-like cyclones across the Mediterranean Sea, so-called ‘Medicanes’, and how having a truly in-depth look at damage datasets can actually prevent financial losses when windstorms hit Europe. Researchers will also outline how climate models are underestimating summer warming in Western Europe, and that recently observed extreme heatwaves will likely be dwarfed by future events.

Traces of past human settlements and dispersal patterns are only rare if one does not know where to find them. In this press conference, scientists reveal a wide variety of newly uncovered traces, ranging from huge erratic boulders in the young glacial area of Poland, limescale in ancient Roman aqueducts, to the evidence carried by tiny pollen grains and even tinier cosmogenic nuclides. With this data, we gain new insight into geoscience influenced myths of frost giants, the pathways of Greek nomads and human dispersal patterns across Eurasia, and how water resource management and adaptations to climate crises were a problem for ancient settlements too.

Unveiling Antarctica’s secrets: new research brings us one step closer to predicting the future of the icy continent In this press conference, we present ground-breaking research findings that shed light on environmental change in Antarctica. In one study from the highly-studied Brunt Ice Shelf, researchers are combining ice cores, seismic surveys and modelling techniques to unravel the mysteries of iceberg calving, providing valuable insights into the processes driving this phenomenon. A second study, part of the UK-US-led International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration used seismic surveys to visualise the bedrock beneath Thwaites Glacier. The results of this study will feed into models which will give us new insights into the future of this unstable glacier. These studies represent significant strides in our understanding of the changes taking place in Antarctica, and their potential implications for global sea level rise.

How much do we really know about one the largest planet in our Solar System? As new discoveries emerge from NASA’s Juno mission, observing the Jovian moon Io, another study examining asteroid fragments provides new data about the gas giant itself. An unique family of rare meteorite fragments has revealed the influence that Jupiter’s instability had on the evolution of our Solar System, particularly the asteroid belt between us, as late as 60-100 myr after its formation. Even as these fragments provide new understanding of Jupiter, NASA’s Juno Mission delivers brand new thermal data that indicates the presence of endogenic heat flow on Io, providing new information about the moon’s composition.

In the summer 2022 Europe was hit by the worst #drought in 500 years. A warning level was in place for 47% of European countries and in many places, people saw their #soil completely dry up. Severe droughts, exacerbated by climate change, particularly affect southern regions like Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Scientists are exploring new methods like #wastewater recycling are being explored to combat water scarcity. In 2018 researchers in Tossa de Mar, Spain and elsewhere started a project called “NextGen” to produce high-quality water from municipal wastewater which meets both treated water and drinking water regulations. This recycled water is already being used for irrigation, reducing pressure on freshwater sources. Experts say it’s important we use circular economy principles to manage water. They advocate for efficient water recovery, energy, and nutrient recycling to mitigate pollution and reduce water usage. But regulatory challenges still exist, with some standards demanding treated wastewater quality akin to drinking water, posing financial and practical hurdles. Spain’s approach, with a more pragmatic, risk-based regulation, balances safety with feasibility in wastewater reuse. These initiatives signify a crucial step towards sustainable water management amidst escalating climate challenges. The NextGen project was completed in 2022.

The devastating impacts of climate change are ever-more apparent—including on our health. Asthma, allergies, cancers, and other immune-mediated diseases are on the rise, with the burden falling hardest on the world’s most vulnerable people. Agache et al. describe the links between climate change, environmental exposures, and immune dysregulation and its associated diseases. Their lead article also recommends equitable, global, and multilevel mitigation and adaptation solutions to reduce the impact of climate change on human health.

The hit to lead phase is a critical phase of drug discovery programs. The first set of compounds, or hits, that demonstrate promising activity against a target of interest are further characterized. Through limited medicinal chemistry efforts, the aim is to turn these hits into leads: compounds that we believe can be optimized into drug candidates.

The Hit-to-Lead Process is a crucial part of an early drug discovery project. This webinar highlights the strategy and key decision criteria for prioritization and subsequent optimization of chemical matter using the discovery of MALT1 Inhibitors as case study.

Adolescent girls and young women bear a disproportionate burden in the HIV response. In 2022, adolescent girls and young women constituted 77% of new HIV acquisitions in central, eastern, southern and western Africa with HIV acquisition three times higher than in boys and young men of the same age (UNAIDS, 2022). Data points to a clear shortage of gender-sensitive, youth-friendly and integrated HIV and reproductive health services designed for and by adolescent girls and young women. Young people currently account for 1.8 billion people globally, the largest generation of young people ever, 90% of whom live in low- and middle-income countries (UNAIDS, 2021). Yet the catalytic potential of young people, especially young women, in finding innovative solutions towards better health outcomes is critically underutilized. To unleash this potential, adolescent girls and young women must be engaged as beneficiaries, partners and leaders in initiatives that concern their health (UNAIDS, 2018) and be equipped with the necessary skills and leadership opportunities to execute bold and innovative ideas that are fine-tuned to their unique needs. For International Women’s Day, the IAS Youth Hub brought together four inspiring young women active in the HIV response for a virtual ask the experts style session. They provided participants with knowledge on the intersections of gender and the HIV response, guidance on how to overcome gender specific challenges and inspired other young people to be part of the movement. Speakers: • Alícia Krüger, Ministry of Health, Brazil • Keren Dunaway, ICW Global, Argentina • Kiho Tanaka, The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Australia • Marie Okwoli, Global Women's Health, Rights and Empowerment Initiative, Nigeria Moderator: Daria Besting, International AIDS Society

The introduction of long-acting products holds the potential to transform the HIV prevention and treatment landscape, offering dosing schedules that span months instead of days. However, they could face various implementation challenges similar to those encountered by oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), including issues related to cost, delivery, uptake and persistent use, particularly in resource-constrained settings and among key populations. The guest editors and authors of the JIAS supplement https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17582652/2023/26/S2 published in July 2023 offer a comprehensive overview of the ongoing research on long-acting regimens access, delivery and choice. This symposium features community perspectives, explores future directions in the field, and concludes with a panel discussion.

The academies award fellowships to early- to mid-career investigators and clinical scientists and peer and community educators to take part in workshops on HIV vaccines and cure research with international experts. The webinar outlines recent academies, present and future opportunities for involvement, and elaborate on ways to engage with the IAS and participate in upcoming events and fellowships.
