Emory University has had a long relationship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama through the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative. Recently the Tenzin Gyatso Science Scholars, who are Tibetan Buddhist monastics that reside and take courses on Emory’s campus, were enrolled in a novel science research course designed and taught by undergraduate students at Em...
Background: Depression is the largest source of global medical disability, highlighting the importance of translating and validating depression screening instruments to improve our understanding of differences in the prevalence of depression in divergent cultures around the world. The aim of this study was to translate and evaluate a widely used de...
Western culture discourages discussion of death and dying, especially with healthy emerging adults. Yet, research shows that engaging this population in conversations about death and dying is empowering and important for young people’s decision-making around and understanding of the end of life. We show that students are indeed ill-informed on such...
Background
Depression is the largest contributing factor to global disability, and the translation and validation of depression screening instruments is vital toward understanding the prevalence of depression symptoms around the world. The aim of this study was to translate a widely used depression screening instrument, the Patient Health Questionn...
Development of an inclusive scientific community necessitates doing more than simply bringing science to diverse groups of people. Ideally, the sciences evolve through incorporation of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and worldviews. Efforts to promote inclusion of historically underrepresented racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, and soci...
The Emory-Tibet Science Initiative was founded when the Dalai Lama invited Emory to develop and teach a comprehensive curriculum in modern science to Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns. The project was built to grow and nurture a two-way exchange between complementary systems of knowledge. In the 10 years since the first days of the pilot, the interac...
How does the United States maintain the highest-quality research and teaching in its professional science workforce and ensure that those in this workforce are effectively trained and representative of national demographics? In the pathway to science careers, the postdoctoral stage is formative, providing the experiences that define the independent...
Many issues in science create individual and societal tensions with important implications outside the classroom. We describe one model that directly addresses such tensions by integrating science and religion in two parallel, integrated courses for science majors. Evaluation of the goals of the project—(1) providing students with strategies to ide...
Although the literature on the ethical dimensions of knowledge creation, use, and dissemination is voluminous, it has not particularly examined the ethical dimensions of knowledge translation in rehabilitation. Yet, whether research is done in a wet lab or treatments are provided to patients in therapeutic settings, rehabilitation professionals com...
Significant limitations have emerged in America's science training pipeline, including inaccessibility, inflexibility, financial limitations, and lack of diversity. We present three effective programs that collectively address these challenges. The programs are grounded in rigorous science and integrate through diverse disciplines across undergradu...
The authors present an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to address the problem of increasing student mental health issues on college campuses. The model uses addiction and depression as lenses into the problem and links residence life and academic and community internship experiences. The project has a positive impact on student attitudes and...
Many students at minority-serving institutions are underexposed to Internet resources such as the human genome project, PubMed, NCBI databases, and other Web-based technologies because of a lack of financial resources. To change this, we designed and implemented a new bioinformatics component to supplement the undergraduate Genetics course at Clark...
Programs that have increased the number of minorities and women in science at the K-12 and undergraduate level have not resulted in a corresponding increase in these groups in postdoctoral and faculty positions. Fellowships in Research and Science Teaching (FIRST) address this glaring weakness in segments of the science "pipeline." FIRST is a 3-yea...
A model is described for implementing a program in research ethics education in the face of federal and institutional mandates and current resource, disciplinary, and infrastructure limitations. Also discussed are the historical background, content and evaluation process of the workshop at the heart of the program, which reaches a diverse group of...

... These findings are consistent with the results from some previous studies (Cacioppo et al., 2011;Cassiani-Miranda et al., 2017;Granillo, 2012;Kalpakjian et al., 2009;Krause et al., 2010;Patel et al., 2019). However, other studies have reported one factor (see Adewuya et al., 2006;Dadfar et al., 2018c;Huang et al., 2006;Keum et al., 2018;Kim & Lee, 2019;Maroufizadeh et al., 2019;Mascaro et al., 2020;Torres et al., 2016;Yu et al., 2012;Zhong et al., 2014). These contradictory findings may be partly resulting from the use of samples with different cultural backgrounds, differences in age, and participant characteristics, as well as sample sizes, and factor analysis technique. ...
... Rather than attempting to convert the Monastic Scholars to a different perspective, a new perspective is introduced, and the Monastic Scholars are encouraged to debate and discuss it. This leverages the background that the Monastic Scholars have with debate as an active form of thinking and learning [15]; debate is often used in Buddhist monastic education to explore unfamiliar concepts/perspectives [16]. With all this in mind, the hope is that ETSI can provide Monastic Scholars a way to join and enrich the culture of science by participating in actively carrying out science. ...
... In 2013, monastic leaders in the Gelug Buddhist tradition decided to implement the science program, ushering in the most substantial curricular innovation in 600 years of monastic education (Gray and Eisen, 2019. The following year, a 6-years science curriculum comprising biology, neuroscience, and physics and supplemented by math and philosophy of science, was introduced in the three largest monastic universities of south India (Gray and Eisen, 2019). ...
... Study designs were primarily qualitative (n = 7), using interview or survey methods to explore experiences. Two studies used mixed methods (quantitative survey with qualitative interviews/focus groups [49,52]). Three studies used a survey methodology to measure purely quantitative outcomes for statistical analysis [44,45,48]. ...
... The narrative that has been constructed around Rebecca by the staff in the community hospital-and likely by healthcare providers and others in power her whole life-is one of disability, weakness, drug dependency, and low worth. Creating and holding space for Rebecca to tell her story her own way, believing her and showing her respect and genuine care, allows her to strengthen a counternarrative that helps heal the wounds of internalized racism plaguing many patients with SCD (Creary and Eisen 2013). ...
... nario is a vibrant and coordinative process that attaches production, dissemination, exchange and application of knowledge to enhance service delivery (Graham ID. et al., 2018).Hindrances in the way knowledge application attach shortage of or incompetency to reach knowledge resources, indifference towards the knowledge attained viaresearch outputs (Banja JD. et. Al., 2013). Shortage of time to get an empirical proves that can assist managers and policy makers (Yousefi-Nooraie R. et al., 2009).In addition, managers usually make decisions on the basis of information achieved from recommended sources and results of routine organizational measurements rather than research findings (Rosenbaum SE.et.al., 2011). ...
... Peer review offers not only mentoring and professional development but peer support in general also offers unique psychosocial benefits of emotional support from colleagues with shared experience and/or career stage [46,56]. This unique benefit is particularly important for individuals from marginalized or underrepresented groups in academia [31,47,57,58]. Being a postdoc can be much more isolating compared to being a PhD student [35] due to the lack of a cohesive cohort and fewer individuals at the same career level per laboratory. ...
... That program was supported by an external grant and so may be harder than STEP-WISE to sustain. As another example, Emory University has the On Recent Discoveries by Emory Researchers program, which, like STEP-WISE, encourages teams of postdoctoral scholars to participate in training and then collaborate to design a course that shares teaching responsibilities (Sales et al., 2007;Hue et al., 2010), although a detailed overview and evaluation have, to our knowledge, not yet been published (Sales et al., 2007;Hue et al., 2010). ...
... Stressful life they are exposed to due to academic demands may negatively affect their lifestyles, leading to, e.g., poor eating and sleeping behaviors and changes in body weight (Nanney et al., 2015;van der Heijden et al., 2017). In those of them who are more prone to pressure internalisation, it can turn to alcohol and substance abuse (Eisen et al, 2009). Negative coping strategies may compromise their learning capacity and induce a variety of neuro vegetative and behavioral symptoms which precede the development of clinically overt disease (Stewartetal., 1999;Philips, 2009). ...
... This will lead to actively design fair and less biased research and motivate students to learn, from the very beginning, the value of data protection and data agency. For this, raising awareness of the role of an ethical common ground when conducting research with data considering elements such as empathy, social justice and social good will be critical (Chang & Gray, 2013;Eisen & Parker, 2004;Stockley & Balkwill, 2013;Strohmetz & Skleder, 1992). ...
