Season 2 Episode 16: Seismic shifts in the global research landscape with Jonathan Adams and David Pendlebury

Approximately 35,000 people worldwide have LHON, a genetic condition that affects the optic nerve, which sends visual information from the eye to the brain. In most cases, LHON – short for Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy – leads to severe vision loss in both eyes, usually beyond the threshold of legal blindness and mostly among young men. In this episode of Ideas to Innovation Season 2, two special guests discuss the challenges of this rare disease on patients and their families. They help explain, too, the role and work of scientific research in seeking answers.  Read more - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/

Every year, Clarivate publishes a list of the Top 100 Global Innovators, companies and organizations that sit at the very top of the global innovation ecosystem, with the most consistent over-the-bar performance in innovation. Since the list began in 2012, only 19 companies can claim the distinction of being recognized continuously, year after year. One such company is 3M – the iconic global manufacturer and distributor well known for its cutting-edge scientific research and invention of groundbreaking products such as Post-it ® Notes, Scotchgard ™ Fabric Protector, and Thinsulate™ Insulation. In our latest episode of Ideas to Innovation Season 2, we’ll learn how 3M is constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with science and innovation, where the power of science and the spark of human ingenuity come together in perfect harmony.    Read more - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/

From journalist Ida B. Wells to poet Maya Angelou to Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul music, Black women have made important contributions to the United States in a variety of areas, including politics, science, the arts, and social justice.

Most scientists agree that if the world is to achieve net zero by 2050 and secure a livable Earth, efforts to implement renewable energy need to be accelerated. Net zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. We reach net zero when the amount we add is no more than the amount taken away. Of course, looking to build a better, more sustainable future has been talked about for years.  But are we getting closer to achieving this shared global imperative?  Addressing such questions are two guests: Ed White, Vice President and principal analyst at Clarivate, based in London; and Shara Mohtadi, former chief of staff for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, DC.  Read more at - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/

In 2022, Clarivate named 20 world-class researchers from four countries as Citation Laureates. The impact of their work is immense and represents pioneering research worthy of recognition and celebration. We expect that some of these researchers will go on to receive a Nobel Prize, demonstrating once again the strong link between their substantial citation records and their influence on peers.   In this episode, Daniel G. Nocera, Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University and Andrew J. Oswald, a Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Warwick share insights into their research, how they got started, tips for early-career researchers, and more.  Read more - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/    Hosted on Acast.

The fate of the Earth is closely tied to our oceans. Given the toll that humans have exacted on the marine environment within a relative handful of decades, the need for detailed scientific scrutiny of our ocean basins has never been more acute, and a new global report from Clarivate highlights the growing body of research in this area, particularly around sustainability and topics such as microplastics in the ocean.   The report’s two authors, Ross Potter, Senior Data Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and Brodie Pearson, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, are interviewed in this episode of Ideas To Innovation Season 2.  Read more - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/    Hosted on Acast.

The topic of civil rights in the United States is never far from the headlines. For almost 250 years, civil rights has remained a complex part of the fabric of America. Helping university students understand the history of civil rights, the important milestones in that ongoing struggle, and what it means for them has been a life’s work of the guest in this episode of Ideas to Innovation Season Two - Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Associate Professor in the Department of History at The Ohio State University.  Read more - https://clarivate.com/podcasts/ideas-to-innovation-season-two/    Hosted on Acast.

Through its Citation Laureates program, Clarivate recognises individuals whose research publications are highly cited and whose contributions to their fields have been extremely influential, even transformative.   This year, we named twenty world-class researchers from four countries as Citation Laureates. These are researchers whose work is deemed to be ‘of Nobel class’, as demonstrated by analysis carried out by the ISI, and who are in the running for future Nobel honours.      In this episode, you’ll hear from two of this year’s Citation Laureates who share insights into their work, how they got started, tips for young researchers, and more - Mary-Claire King, Professor of Medicine and of Genome Sciences, School of Medicine, at the University of Washington in Seattle, in the United States, recognized for demonstrating inherited susceptibility for breast and ovarian cancer and discovering the role played by mutations of the BRCA1 gene and Zhenan Bao, the K.K. Lee Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Director, Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiative (eWEAR), at Stanford University, California, recognized for the development of novel biomimetic applications of organic and polymeric electronic materials, including flexible ‘electronic skin.’  Hosted on Acast.

Today, with so much information available online, verification of information – who created it and who shared it – has become part of standard operating procedures in many enterprises to create a climate of trust surrounding information that can be used and acted upon. Nowhere is this truer than in the field of scientific research and reporting.  In this episode, Nandita Quaderi, editor-in-chief for the Web of Science™ at Clarivate, shares her views on the topic of research integrity. She describes the importance of conducting and presenting research in a way that allows others to have trust and confidence in the methods used. And she warns of the dangers that occur in instances when the scholarly record cannot be trusted.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The healthcare industry worldwide is changing. Hospitals and healthcare systems in many countries are struggling to control costs, increase revenues, train and retain skilled employees, and treat and care for patients. In the business of health care, new approaches and ideas are coming to the fore as part of this journey to transform healthcare and ultimately change patients' lives. In this episode, podcast host Neville Hobson joins guests Mike Ward, Global Head of Life Sciences and Healthcare Thought Leadership at Clarivate, and Jerry Harrison, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a member of Talking Heads, and healthcare and life sciences business entrepreneur, to discuss new approaches to investment that connect financial and human capital to communities in the healthcare space that share knowledge, interest and passion for healthcare innovation. And we examine how innovation is bringing some startling ideas in healthcare to life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While some say such manmade natural disasters are the new normal that we'll experience more strongly and more frequently in the future, others point the way to manmade solutions that help us take care of our environment through innovative efforts like reducing traffic pollution, and the emissions that contribute to climate extremes. In this podcast, our guest Ingrid Gogl, the vice president of marketing and communications at Yunex Traffic will put such manmade disasters in context as we consider how one company in Germany is initiating a mobility revolution that aims to protect our climate as much as it does to improve traffic safety.
