The Good Scientists is a volunteer-run platform where scientists can engage in social impact projects. We make this possible by creating a dynamic online community where scientists and experts can interact with NGOs, non-profits and civil society organisations, and mission-driven stakeholders on a single platform.Our platform consists of a marketplace of social impact projects provided by societal stakeholders, including the challenges that they are facing and the questions they have, and scientists and experts can start a discussion with them to provide free support and transfer valuable and helpful knowledge. Scientists can also post about the current projects that they are involved in and how they think NGOs or civil society could benefit from their research.We hope to kick off a valuable conversation between academic researchers and volunteering impact-driven associations and, eventually, to foster global scientific cooperation.Register in this form to join our platform. We will accept applications from scientists and expert professionals who share our motivation to create social and environmental impact with their research.The Good Scientists teaminfo@thegoodscientists.com<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thegoodscientists.com/">Website</a> | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-good-scientists/">LinkedIn</a> | <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/TGScientistsv">Twitter</a>

Thank you for your interest in submitting your article proposal as a Guest Contributor for "Undoing the Ivory Tower", a newsletter published by The Good Scientists. We would love to feature your thoughts!"Undoing the Ivory Tower" aims to provide a space for scientists and nonscientists to think critically about the current state of global scientific research and how it may be improved to better serve the needs of society and societal actors (ie: NGOs, non-profits, civil society organizations).To serve this purpose, we want to feature:1. Stories from the world 🌎 about science and society working together to drive positive change. These may include citizen science projects, collaborations between research institutions and societal actors, and knowledge and technology networks in the third sector.2. Opinion pieces 🔎 on science policy and science ethics, on the opportunities and pitfalls of global scientific cooperation, on societal perception of science and related topics at the crossroads of research and society.3. Interviews 💬 with scientists and various societal actors sharing their personal experience in scientific cooperation projects.Rather than being another channel of scientific communication, we want to feature stories, opinions and interviews that explore the interplay between scientific practice and society; how can one shape the other, and vice-versa, to drive meaningful and lasting social change?You can read our newsletter launch <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/launching-our-newsletter-undoing-ivory-tower-the-good-scientists/?trackingId=hj5MgOh1Sqqu4BICsF%2F%2F5A%3D%3D">here</a>, and our first article <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/colonial-bias-scientific-language-rewriting-narrative%3FtrackingId=UhyLqMeyb1Gb39Vrs7%252Btug%253D%253D/?trackingId=UhyLqMeyb1Gb39Vrs7%2Btug%3D%3D">here.</a>Submit your article proposal using this form.
