Irwin talks about Filip Meysman, a biogeochemist at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, who with the help of Flemish environmental protection agency and a regional newspaper was able to gather 50,000 citizens of northern Belgium to assess the region\u2019s air quality. 20,000 participants were given air-pollution samplers to take readings over the course of a month and 99% of the sensors were successfully returned to Filip\u2019s laboratory for analysis. According to Meysman, this project gave them \u201ca data set which it is not possible to get by other means.\u201d Advocates of citizen science feel it is capable of bringing more transparency and accessibility to science. They \u201chope that such efforts will become a major source of high-quality data and analysis in areas relevant to policymakers as well as scientists,\u201d Irwin states. While the field has a lot of potential, it needs to overcome concerns related to its usefulness in research and reliability. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b>2. Cancer scientist fired over authorship dispute:<\/b> Xiaoqi Xie, a 54-year-old researcher, was fired from her job at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in New Brunswick by Eileen White, deputy director and chief scientific officer at the institution. The main reason for this dismissal was Xie\u2019s retaliation against his principal investigator White. Xie was denied authorship by White on a research paper that \u201creveals a novel mechanism by which tumor growth is stunted when host animals are incapable of autophagy\u2014the cell\u2019s degrading and recycling of unneeded or damaged components,\u201d the <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2018\/10\/was-cancer-scientist-fired-challenging-lab-chief-over-authorship\">post<\/a> states. In fact, White decided to give another lab scientist sole authorship on the paper that was submitted to <a>Nature\u00a0<\/a>and not yet published. Xie challenged this decision, which allegedly led to her termination, although the grounds of her dismissal are animal care violations and unprofessional behavior. This case has gained attention as it highlights the hierarchical power play in academia and the authorship issues and disputes. It remains to be seen how this case shapes up. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b>3. Replication is both possible and desirable in the humanities<\/b>: This insightful <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/impactofsocialsciences\/2018\/10\/01\/replication-is-both-possible-and-desirable-in-the-humanities-just-as-it-is-in-the-sciences\/http:\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/impactofsocialsciences\/2018\/10\/01\/replication-is-both-possible-and-desirable-in-the-humanities-just-as-it-is-in-the-sciences\/http:\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/impactofsocialsciences\/2018\/10\/01\/replication-is-both-possible-and-desirable-in-the-humanities-just-as-it-is-in-the-sciences\/\">article<\/a> talks about how replication is possible in humanities just as it is in the other sciences. It has been widely claimed that replication of humanities\u2019 studies is not possible since the research is circumstantial and taking it out of context may make the repetition impossible. However, according to the authors <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/research.vu.nl\/en\/persons\/rik-peels\">Rik Peels<\/a> and <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/research.vu.nl\/en\/persons\/lm-bouter\">Lex M. Bouter<\/a>, replication studies should be carried out in the humanities as they render more reliability to findings. \u201cIf replication is possible in the empirical sciences involving interaction with human beings, then so it is in the humanities,\u201d they argue. Further, they add that \u201cdifferent kinds of replication can be carried out and that one kind of replication may be more suitable than another in certain instances.\u201d They conclude their argument by saying that \u201cour point stands unscathed: it is a desirable feature for empirical studies in the humanities that they are replicable and it is equally desirable that the project of actually carrying out replication studies in the humanities gets off the ground.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b>4.

As Sindhumathi Revuluri puts it in <a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/How-to-Overcome-Impostor\/244700\">this post<\/a>, imposter syndrome is an issue that runs deep in academia. She says \u201cit runs thick in the veins of academics, from newly arrived graduate students to those nearing retirement.\u201d Explaining what the syndrome is, Revuluri describes that it has very little to do with an academic\u2019s achievements and more to do with how he or she feels as even highly successful professionals have been known to have gone through imposter syndrome. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome this and she shares some suggestions for the same such as learning how to take criticism, being realistic about the nature of academic work and staying concrete, amongst many others. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><b>5.
