Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Leaving Groups

Leaving Groups

The nature of leaving groups strongly influences the outcome of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.
In a...

Trace Fear Conditioning in Mice

In the following experiment we describe a protocol for trace fear conditioning in mice. This type of associative memory includes a trace period that separates the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned...

Detection of Histone Modifications in Plant Leaves

Detection of Histone Modifications in Plant Leaves

A reliable and useful approach to detect histone modifications on specific plant genes is described. The approach combines chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and real-time quantitative PCR. It allows detection of histone modifications on specific genes with a role in diverse physiological...

Summary

Academic science faces increasing bullying, ranging from disrespect to intellectual property theft. Addressing this requires examining documentation and providing targeted reporting training, especially for vulnerable researchers.

Area of Science:

Scientific research environments
Academic integrity

Background:

Bullying in academic science is a significant and escalating issue.
Incidents range from minor disrespect to severe violations like intellectual property theft and authorship disputes.
Researchers on visas may face heightened vulnerability due to institutional hurdles and fear of retaliation.

Discussion:

Existing institutional protocols can be burdensome and may deter victims from reporting.
Fear of reprisal is a major barrier, particularly for international researchers.
The severity of bullying can significantly impact researchers' careers and well-being.

Key Insights:

Bullying encompasses a spectrum of behaviors, from subtle slights to overt coercion.
Vulnerable populations, such as visa-holding scientists, require specific considerations.

Keywords:
