Episode 48: Debatable Open R3 - Science with Joey Manzano

2:45 - Motion 1: “Information Deficit Model” (IDM) assumes that the public needs more and better information. In contrast the “contextual model” is a collection of strategies that attempt to incorporate social context — in the form of culturally resonant messages, frames, and other rhetorical devices — into communication with the public. TH, as the scientific community, would move away from the "Information Deficit Model" (IDM) to a "contextual model" in discussing climate change. 10:13 - Motion 2: HCTs are trials that intentionally introduce an infectious disease organism to participants. In effect, expediting the usual vaccine development process, which normally requires a large group of people to be exposed to the disease naturally and may take over several years or decades to be completed. The demand for a COVID-19 vaccine has prompted vaccine developers to consider HCTs despite the lack of rescue treatments should any participant get sick. THS the use of human challenge trials (HCTs) in the development of COVID-19 vaccines. 20:15 - Motion 3: PubPeer is an online platform for post-publication peer review (PPPR). Unlike other platforms for PPPR, PubPeer offers their readers to leave comments under their real name or anonymously. THBT PubPeer does more harm than good to the scientific community.
