Policy decisions should be informed by science, but legislators and their teams have limited capacity to connect with evidence-based resources and the expert community. By strengthening ties between science and policy, these two domains can be more readily integrated when making policy decisions. We established a process for building science and technology councils for Members of Congress, which function as a platform for scientists and legislators to engage. Legislators were selected by gauging the potential for objective, nonpartisan information from scientists to inform their work, as well as their offices’ prioritization of science policy issues. Experts with deep knowledge of these scientific issues were vetted, recruited, and appointed to the councils, and Members of Congress were connected to their designated councils. This bridging of science and policy demonstrates a platform that scientists can utilize to communicate objective, policy-relevant research and analysis as a trusted source of information, leading to more scientifically informed policy decision-making.
政策决定应该以科学为依据,但是立法者及其团队与循证资源和专家群体联系的能力有限。通过加强科学与政策之间的联系,这两个领域在制定政策决策时可以更容易地结合起来。我们建立了为国会议员建立科学和技术委员会的程序,作为科学家和立法者参与的平台。立法者的选择是通过衡量来自科学家的客观、无党派信息的潜力来为他们的工作提供信息,以及他们的办公室对科学政策问题的优先次序。对这些科学问题有深入了解的专家经过审查、招募并被任命为委员会成员,国会议员与他们指定的委员会有联系。这种科学和政策的桥梁展示了一个平台,科学家可以利用这个平台将客观的、与政策相关的研究和分析作为可信的信息来源进行交流,从而实现更科学的政策决策。

Fish consumption advisories provide valuable information on the protection of human health from contaminated fish consumption, yet are rarely conducted comprehensively nor communicated widely. Environmental policies that fail to adequately develop and implement fish consumption advisory programs are largely to blame. This policy analysis delves into the strengths and weaknesses of current fish consumption advisory programs in the United States and Canada. To compare between these countries, fish consumption advisory programs were broadly described across all 50 US states and 13 Canadian provinces/territories. Two case studies were chosen to provide a more detailed look into the complexities of fish consumption advisory programs (Arizona and Nova Scotia). It is apparent from this research that fish consumption advisory programs and policies do not comprehensively address human health and environmental justice concerns in either country suggesting policy changes are necessary. Opportunities for and barriers to regulatory change in both countries were identified, and suggestions on sharing strong policies were provided. Finally, international frameworks aimed at improving fish consumption advisory programs were explored, mainly those used by the European Union. Environmental justice and human health concerns will only increase given changing environments and emerging toxicological issues; therefore, increased focus on fish consumption advisory programs is warranted. This focus should consider policy change in particular because it can codify human health and environmental justice protections upon which stronger fish consumption advisory programs can be built.
鱼类消费咨询提供了关于保护人类健康不受污染鱼类消费影响的宝贵信息,但很少全面实施,也很少广泛传播。环境政策未能充分制定和实施鱼类消费咨询计划是主要原因。这项政策分析深入研究了目前美国和加拿大鱼类消费咨询计划的优势和劣势。为了比较这些国家,鱼类消费咨询项目在美国50个州和加拿大13个省/地区进行了广泛的描述。本文选择了两个案例研究(亚利桑那州和新斯科舍省),对鱼类消费咨询项目的复杂性进行了更详细的研究。从这项研究中可以明显看出,两国的鱼类消费咨询方案和政策都没有全面解决人类健康和环境正义问题,这表明有必要改变政策。确定了两国监管变革的机会和障碍,并就分享强有力的政策提出了建议。最后,探讨了旨在改进鱼类消费咨询方案的国际框架,主要是欧盟使用的框架。鉴于不断变化的环境和新出现的毒理学问题,环境正义和人类健康问题只会增加;因此,增加对鱼类消费咨询项目的关注是有必要的。这一重点应特别考虑政策变化,因为它可以将人类健康和环境正义保护纳入法律,从而可以建立更强有力的鱼类消费咨询方案。

Canadian post-COVID-19 economic recovery efforts have been framed around values aligned with Canada's commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), primarily concerning environmental sustainability. The field of synthetic biology (synbio) offers many innovative ways to achieve these goals while growing the economy. Here, we discuss the opportunity for Canada to become a leader in clean technology applications of synbio. Investments in synthetic biology, which has traditionally been underfunded compared to other countries, will have beneficial impacts on the environment while driving Canada's post-pandemic economic recovery.
加拿大在2019冠状病毒病后的经济复苏努力,一直围绕着与加拿大对联合国可持续发展目标(sdg)的承诺相一致的价值观,主要涉及环境可持续性。合成生物学(synbio)领域提供了许多创新的方法来实现这些目标,同时促进经济增长。在这里,我们讨论了加拿大成为合成生物清洁技术应用领导者的机会。与其他国家相比,合成生物学的投资传统上资金不足,这将对环境产生有益的影响,同时推动加拿大大流行后的经济复苏。

Healthier Streets: How Superblocks and Congestion Pricing Can Help Reduce Air Pollution in Washington, DC 健康的街道:超级街区和拥堵收费如何帮助减少华盛顿特区的空气污染
Pub Date : 2021-03-24 DOI: 10.38126/JSPG180110

Cities face big challenges, including environmental threats, livability concerns, lack of new infrastructure, and increasing social inequity, among others. These challenges call for new and innovative ways to address them. Air pollution, a common problem in many cities, causes between 100,000 and 340,000 Americans to die prematurely every year (Fann et al. 2012; Caiazzo et al. 2013; Bowe et al. 2019; and Goodkind et al. 2019) and, out of those premature deaths, 53,000 are due to car pollution (Caiazzo et al. 2013). The Washington DC Metro Area is one of the top 20 cities in the United States with the highest smog pollution, highlighting the need for new regulations to reduce air pollution (American Lung Association 2020). Federal policies aimed at lowering the maximum concentration of air pollutants allowed by the EPA could improve public health, but cities can also reduce air pollution levels through policymaking. DC currently has two main transportation and sustainability plans to improve public transportation, infrastructure, and combat climate change. Cities similar to DC, such as Barcelona and London, have applied superblocks, restricted car access city areas, and congestion pricing policies respectively, aimed at reducing air pollution and improving quality of life. Fortunately, DC has many of the characteristics needed to successfully implement superblocks in areas of the city where residential housing and businesses share space, and congestion pricing in highly congested areas. I recommend the District Department of Transportation to establish pilot programs for each of these policies to reduce air pollution levels in the city.
城市面临着巨大的挑战,包括环境威胁、宜居性问题、缺乏新的基础设施、社会不平等加剧等。这些挑战需要新的和创新的方法来应对。空气污染是许多城市的常见问题,每年导致10万至34万美国人过早死亡(Fann et al. 2012;Caiazzo et al. 2013;Bowe et al. 2019;在这些过早死亡中,有53000人是由于汽车污染造成的(Caiazzo et al. 2013)。华盛顿特区都市区是美国雾霾污染最严重的20个城市之一,这凸显了制定新法规以减少空气污染的必要性(美国肺脏协会2020年)。旨在降低环境保护局允许的空气污染物最大浓度的联邦政策可以改善公众健康,但城市也可以通过政策制定来降低空气污染水平。华盛顿特区目前有两个主要的交通和可持续发展计划,以改善公共交通、基础设施和应对气候变化。与华盛顿类似的城市,如巴塞罗那和伦敦,分别实施了超级街区、限制汽车进入市区和拥堵收费政策,旨在减少空气污染和提高生活质量。幸运的是,华盛顿特区拥有许多必要的特征,可以成功地在城市中住宅和商业共享空间的地区实施超级街区,并在高度拥挤的地区实施拥堵收费。我建议区交通部为每一项政策建立试点项目,以减少城市的空气污染水平。

Expanding access to electric vehicles in California’s low-income communities 扩大加州低收入社区电动汽车的使用范围
Pub Date : 2021-03-24 DOI: 10.38126/JSPG180107
C. Jackson
In September 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an ambitious executive order requiring all new passenger vehicles sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035 (California Governor 2020). This action recognizes that the growing threats of climate change and local air pollution necessitate a rapid transition away from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. In California, disadvantaged populations in particular face significant barriers, including financing and charging, to electric vehicle (EV) adoption. For the state to meet its clean energy goals, it must include these communities in a more just transition to widespread use of EVs. This should include avenues of support such as updating state building codes for multi-unit dwellings, where almost half of all Californians live. Charging site access must be increased through curbside infrastructure expansion and institution of statewide EV charger rebates. Finally, increased access to vehicles themselves should be facilitated by expanding incentives and formats for EV sharing programs.
2020年9月,加州州长加文·纽森宣布了一项雄心勃勃的行政命令,要求到2035年(加州州长2020年),该州销售的所有新乘用车都要实现零排放。这一行动认识到气候变化和当地空气污染日益严重的威胁需要迅速过渡到传统的内燃机汽车。在加州,弱势群体尤其面临着电动汽车采用的重大障碍,包括融资和充电。为了实现其清洁能源目标,该州必须将这些社区纳入到更公正地过渡到广泛使用电动汽车的过程中。这应该包括提供支持的途径,比如更新多单元住宅的州建筑规范,几乎一半的加州人都住在多单元住宅中。必须通过路边基础设施扩建和全州范围内的电动汽车充电器回扣制度来增加充电站点的接入。最后,应该通过扩大电动汽车共享计划的激励措施和形式来促进汽车的普及。

Research is being transformed by transparency, collaboration, public engagement and shareability, which are key elements of the Open Science (OS) movement. Open Access (OA), one of its main areas of action, aims to make all research freely available. Benefits of OA have already triggered a shift toward its implementation at the European and international level, with funders creating new platforms to support an ecosystem of open publications and data. Despite remarkable early contributions by Spain in terms of OS pilot initiatives and specifically OA publication performance, the latter has declined by more than a third since 2016. Moreover, no new indicators have been put forward since, even though openness remains to be deemed a strength. In this policy memo, we examine policy options to support OS in the country, with a focus on OA. These could be structured by a National Strategy for Openness, including actions to ensure OA for all publicly funded research, standardization of procedures, and the re-design of assessment criteria to incorporate reproducibility of outputs, knowledge dissemination and transfer.
透明度、协作、公众参与和可共享性正在改变研究,这些都是开放科学(OS)运动的关键要素。开放获取(OA)是其主要行动领域之一,旨在使所有研究成果免费获得。开放获取的好处已经引发了其在欧洲和国际层面实施的转变,资助者创建了新的平台来支持开放出版物和数据的生态系统。尽管西班牙早期在操作系统试点计划方面做出了卓越的贡献,特别是OA出版绩效,但自2016年以来,后者已经下降了三分之一以上。此外,尽管开放仍被视为一种优势,但自那以来没有提出新的指标。在本政策备忘录中,我们将研究支持该国操作系统的政策选项,重点是OA。这些可以通过国家开放战略来构建,包括采取行动确保所有公共资助研究的开放获取、程序标准化和重新设计评估标准,以纳入产出的可重复性、知识传播和转让。

A New (Cold) Front in Polar Intelligence? Trends and Implications of Technology-Enabled Monitoring in the Arctic 极地情报的新(冷)锋?北极技术支持监测的趋势和影响
Pub Date : 2021-01-11 DOI: 10.38126/jspg190111

The Arctic has gained increasing attention from defense and intelligence policymakers concerned about great power conflict in the High North. United States-Russian competition in the region over polar shipping routes and natural resources seemingly contradicts institutional commitments to retain the Arctic as a “low tension zone.” Superpowers and their allies are receiving international condemnation for advancing kinetic military activity in the region while constituents and interest groups are instead advocating for diplomacy and cooperative restraint. As a result, Arctic nations are turning towards extensive reconnaissance and monitoring of the region to deter conflict. This study draws on strategy documents from each of the eight Arctic nations, scholarly research, and news coverage to assemble a picture of current efforts at technology-enabled monitoring. It also examines the potential of technologies such as long-range surveillance drones, satellites, and seabed monitors to facilitate near-constant reconnaissance by polar powers. The current deterrence mindset of Arctic security postures bears comparison with Cold War-era efforts to prevent outright conflict via monitoring and mitigation strategies. This study provides a historic account of Arctic intelligence in the 20th century and uses a comparative approach to assess what aspects of the contemporary situation are genuinely new and which may benefit from lessons of the Cold War. It concludes with policy recommendations for Arctic states to implement cohesive northern monitoring strategies into their intelligence organizations as well as long-term guidelines for new multilateral fora focused explicitly on Arctic security issues.
北极越来越受到国防和情报决策者的关注,他们担心高北地区的大国冲突。美俄在北极地区争夺极地航线和自然资源,这似乎与将北极作为“低紧张区”的制度承诺相矛盾。超级大国及其盟友因在该地区推进动态军事活动而受到国际社会的谴责,而选民和利益集团则转而倡导外交和合作克制。因此,北极国家正转向对该地区进行广泛的侦察和监控,以遏制冲突。这项研究借鉴了八个北极国家各自的战略文件、学术研究和新闻报道,汇总了目前在技术支持监测方面的努力。报告还研究了远程无人侦察机、卫星和海底监测器等技术的潜力,以促进极地大国几乎不间断的侦察。目前对北极安全态势的威慑思维与冷战时期通过监测和缓解战略防止彻底冲突的努力相比较。这项研究提供了20世纪北极情报的历史记录,并使用比较方法来评估当代形势的哪些方面是真正新的,哪些方面可以从冷战的教训中受益。报告最后提出了北极国家在其情报机构中实施统一的北方监测战略的政策建议,以及明确关注北极安全问题的新多边论坛的长期指导方针。

Incorporating Graduate-level Internships to Strengthen the STEM Workforce and Trainee Career Prospects 结合研究生水平的实习,加强STEM劳动力和实习生的职业前景
Pub Date : 2021-01-11 DOI: 10.38126/jspg190108

The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the United States are currently facing a crisis: graduate programs are not adequately preparing all trainees for the diverse career paths on which they embark. Over recent years, this problem has intensified as the number of Ph.D. holders increased and academic research jobs stagnated or shrunk. Still, most STEM doctoral programs have maintained the singular focus on training students for academic careers at a cost to the individual’s career, society, and the economy. Universities and graduate institutions must adapt to meet the increasing demand for STEM laborers in non-academic sectors and provide relevant and robust training to their students. We propose amending the STEM Opportunities Act of 2019 to incentivize institutions to integrate experiential learning and expand training services.

美国的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域目前正面临着一场危机:研究生课程并没有为所有受训者走上多样化的职业道路做好充分准备。近年来,随着博士人数的增加和学术研究岗位的停滞或萎缩,这一问题变得更加严重。尽管如此,大多数STEM博士课程仍然专注于培养学生的学术生涯,而牺牲了个人的职业、社会和经济。大学和研究生机构必须适应非学术部门对STEM劳动力日益增长的需求,并为学生提供相关和有力的培训。我们建议修改《2019年STEM机会法》,以激励机构整合体验式学习并扩大培训服务。提供多样化的职业培训,高技能的博士毕业生将更有效地进入和填补STEM劳动力,刺激美国经济。收件人:美国众议院科学、空间和技术委员会;以及参议院卫生、教育、劳工和养老金委员会。

Over recent years, this problem has intensified as the number of Ph.D. holders increased and academic research jobs stagnated or shrunk. Still, most STEM doctoral programs have maintained the singular focus on training students for academic careers at a cost to the individual’s career, society, and the economy. Universities and graduate institutions must adapt to meet the increasing demand for STEM laborers in non-academic sectors and provide relevant and robust training to their students. We propose amending the STEM Opportunities Act of 2019 to incentivize institutions to integrate experiential learning and expand training services.
