Declining integrity standards a national problem

"Politicians, whatever their persuasion, are reluctant to see themselves exposed to investigation, to the identification of failings."

"In an exclusive in-depth interview with 7.30, Mr Redlich explained why the reforms he proposed to strengthen the agency are vital to upholding integrity in the state. Mr Redlich's investigations brought the dark underbelly of decision-makers and those in power out of the shadows."

"He and other anti-corruption commissioners have identified the hollowing out and marginalisation of the public service and the rise of a shadow workforce of political advisors."

"Robert Redlich has expressed his disappointment about reforms not passing in parliament." He "says raising the bar for public hearings has weakened IBAC
Integrity standards have deteriorated in several states..."

"The change would allow probes into grey-level corruption that may not be illegal but still represent serious misconduct."

#CEQA seeks to both (1) #inform the #public and governmental #decisionmakers about #tradeoffs in approving a #project with environmental effects, and (2) prevent #significant and #avoidable damage to the #environment. Vulnerable critters like the Temblor legless #lizard depend on CEQA to require agencies to fully consider and (where #feasible) #mitigate harmful environmental impacts.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abl4881 just wondering why such a #globalwarning article is not fully available...#outreach #decisionmakers

@kaia I find their actions to be wasted resources and counterproductive.

As in "Pissing off #WageWorkers on #UnpaidLabour aka. #commute certainly will convince them of something..." - stupidity.

Their actions will only be used to #criminalize any other #protesting and won't even affect the #Decisionmakers in politricks and economy to even fake to give a f**k...

And that IS the problem...

To increase learning Dr. Rachel George said institutions need risk tolerance, robust M&E, and diverse skill sets. Susanna Campbell's research shows that #decisionmakers learn best when they get close to the problem and can experience the evidence.

It was a great discussion on challenging topics! fp21 will keep working on these questions and looking for ways to test our ideas to improve foreign policy. What else should we be thinking about?

@raika @Radical_EgoCom no.

But the #ModiOperandi won't affect the #decisionmakers in #economy and #politricks, thus it'll only piss off #WageWorkers and make them support #facism and #PoliceViolence due to inconvenience.

If you want change, you'll have to force those that can enforce it to change.

Otherwise it's just divisionism instead of successful intersectionalism...

@andrewt rather it says a lot about how shitty and #TechIlliterate #Decisionmakers are and how they'll choose everything that allows them to faster hoard more wealth as well as treat and pay #WageWorkers worse...

If it was feasible, #TechSupportScammers would've also replaced their human workers with bots.

#activetravel #lowcarbonfuture #airquality #airpollution I wish #decisionmakers in #england and #scotland would follow suit

@funnymonkey @adrianh Does anyone else ever form a mental image of corporate decision makers with their fingers in their ears singing, « La lalala La, I can’t hear you! » when being informed about social risks or other ideas that can come back to bite them (and us!) later? Only me then? Okay. Probably nothing to worry about then. #RiskyBusiness #BusinessRisk #DecisionMakers

Time for #PaperOfTheWeek #CalendarWeek3 - This paper pushes to re-think ways of transferring #science to #DecisionMakers and #society 📣

Common myths
➡️ Facts change minds
➡️ Scientific literacy is the answer
➡️ To change social behavior, change individual minds
➡️ Big, broad impact is best

Some possible alternatives in line with more recent behavioral science are suggested.
My personal take-away: think of the human as part of a social web rather than an individual!

Let me introduce myself:

I'm a #wildlife #ecologist, lover of #macroecology & #invasionecology.
I'm interested in #sciencepolicy work & how scientific evidence can be translated & delivered to #decisionmakers & relevant #stakeholder . I'm also very interested in #scicom / #sciencecommunication .

I lead a synthesis centre, a small funding agency.

Expect from me here Informationen on biodiversity related issues, calls for funding opportunities, distribution of #jobs & some #music stuff.

“This imperative prompts organizations to focus on the weakest link in the chain of their success — themselves. It challenges thinking and action at the same time because it recognizes uncertainty is a repository for ‘hope’ — for opportunity.”

I originally expected #primacy, #ConfirmationBias and #overconfidence to clearly emerge in our procedure and in our sample. I guess #replication is hard. On the other hand, one may argue that the original effects are typically shown using more artificial tasks and novice #decisionmakers. It could be that experts in more realistic tasks within their domain think more carefully and thus mostly avoid the biases (i.e. #NaturalisticDecisionMaking). (3/4)
