Summary
Scientists engaging the public face reputational risks tied to their advocacy. Understanding the link between advocacy, shared values, and potential risks, termed Risks, Advocacy, and Values in Engagement (RAVE), can guide public scientists.
Area of Science:
- Science communication
- Public engagement with science
- Scientific advocacy
Background:
- Scientists increasingly engage with the public, but often misjudge reputational risks.
- Advocacy positions can create risks if they conflict with audience values.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the relationship between scientific advocacy, public perception, and reputational risk.
- To introduce a framework, Risks, Advocacy, and Values in Engagement (RAVE), to help scientists navigate public communication.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of risk factors in science communication.
- Development of the RAVE framework based on value alignment.
Main Results:
- Reputational risks are fundamentally linked to the alignment of advocacy positions with audience values.
- The RAVE framework highlights the interplay between risk, advocacy, and values.
Conclusions:
- Scientists need to consider value congruence when engaging in public advocacy.
- The RAVE framework offers a tool for scientists to make informed decisions about public communication and manage associated risks.

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...
