TL;DR: A decision framework for considering trade-offs between values in ecological research is developed, drawing on the field of ecological ethics, using a case study of the population genetics of three frog species, in which a researcher must choose between four methods of sampling DNA from the study animals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine what arguments drawn from ecological economics might contribute to the discussion of responsible innovation, and ask whether opening the black box of "responsible stagnation" might also open the door for a reasoned discussion about resource consumption and pace of development in over-productive or too-risky sectors and technologies, rather than its opposite.

TL;DR: It may be time to reconsider the ontology of publics and the disengaged for science communication, and the contrast between ‘common sense’ and scholarly ideas of media and audiences in the field of cultural and media studies is compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that it is time to consider what an ethics of science communication might look like, and suggest that doing the right, moral thing might be a good, ethical thing to do.

TL;DR: Synthetic gene drive approaches are nascent technologies with potential applicability for pest control for conservation purposes as mentioned in this paper, and responsible science mandates that society be engaged in a dialogue about responsible science.
