Apologies if I have missed postings/discussions on this topic but this
recent paper on the impacts of, and actions to address, what has been
called parachute science has just come to my attention.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2021.01.029
This short and thought-provoking piece in Current Biology should probably
be read by everyone.
There is a rapidly growing debate around this topic in the UK University
sector (at least across my discipline) and we have had some quite
challenging (and for me at times uncomfortable from a retrospective
viewpoint) discussions around this topic.
Anyway - it is worth a read and some thought.
