Highly instructive talk. Ethical considerations are indeed important in knowledge production. It is all our duty to promote the common good while going about this endeavor through avoiding harmful practices.
I find this to be a very nuanced and insightful talk. It exactly describes the environment of my discipline (I am a research scientist). While it gives me pause for reflection, I do believe that many of the people you describe are highly successful and through that, have become convinced that they can "maintain their independence", or "wear two hats" as was noted in this talk. There is a kind of arrogance that goes along with this belief, and so there is a tie between both the funding structures that we scientists work within, and the way that this becomes manifested in our own psychology, identity, and ego. This is a very sensitive topic with huge implications for us all. I look forward to your future work in this area.
+Genevieve Lasalle I am a self-taught researcher. Seems the more I research the more confused I get. I decided to look to RUclips to see if there is a way to do my research so as to get accurate information and after watching this I can see why I get confused now. I have decided that since we rely on all the science from the past to the present that a scientific methodology free of bias can only be obtained when the current system is scraped for more of a technocratic society that is open-sourced and transparent where we just come to terms that greed can't continue to dictate how we live our lives. A cooperative model makes the best sense for our future generations if we don't get annihilated by a war first.
This covers EXACTLY what has been playing on my mind for a very long time. TRUST IS EVERYTHING. More important than LOVE because once trust is gone then its pretty much game over until somehow it can be restored but if the damage done is too great then it may never happen. Hence why I do no trust politicians the police, courts and the councils.
"Financial Conflicts of Interests!" The whole problem in a nutshell. Companies that are funding research to better promote their products, and it gets called research. The funders are hidden in small print in the back of the 100 page document! Finally a Ted talk that has beneficial information!
Very impressive and highly effective Presentation on scientific method of research and research ethics, trust in research project. Very elaborated discussion
Bias related to private funding is very clear way to frame the discussion of bias, but it's interesting that throughout the talk there was no discussion of federal granting bias and other forms of non-financial incentives that might skew research (like pressure to publish positive results and exaggerate findings in order to get published and cited). Also, it might not be that funding bias needs to be "controlled," but better understood by researchers and consumers of research since no matter where funding comes from there are pressures to alter research to achieve certain ends.
A very interesting talk on ethics of knowledge production. Research integrity is a must for a researcher to be able to contribute to the production of knowledge.
Lapses in scientific integrity are not always due to the unsavory influences of corporate funders. Anyone who has been responsible for reviewing scientific data from nonprofits, academics, as well as corporations will quickly tell you that everyone has their own agenda, including individual scientists with their own aspirations for recognition and greatness. I found this talk reminiscent of the activist zeal of the 60s and 70s, with the finger always pointing to corporate greed. If things were only that simple...
+Muzak6625 I lean towards the day when we can live in a cooperative world vs the competitive world model where transparency is the norm and the monetary "carrot" that drives our society is taken off the table. The best model I can find is to use the scientific method to determine the way forward.
+MusicFan I'm not so sure that the monetary "carrot" is always responsible. I've seen significant scientific integrity lapses (intentional) in the federal, academic and corporate sectors. Scientific method was not ignored, but its use was selective in order to suggest that it was rigorously followed/applied. I think it comes down to personal ambition and agendas. This is not to say that $ plays no role (it clearly does), and its influence should not be controlled. Just saying that it is not always the only significant factor.
+Muzak6625 i didn't see that he was pointing fingers at corporations rather using that as a frame to explain that knowledge in general has biases. Also most if not all people make ethical lapses and basically he was saying to think critically about what knowledge you consume regardless of the source as you pointed out.
+Ali Tahir You could be right. It's been a while since I viewed the presentation. I do strongly agree with you -- most, if not all, people have ethical lapses, regardless of the sector. I also tend more to think of lapses involved in the generation and reporting of scientific information, and the role of systems in preventing such lapses. I also agree with you that consumers of information need to critically evaluate reported information. Frequently that is a bit difficult because reporting is not always transparent.
In which case they are not scientists. A true scientist is only interested in utilizing the scientific method to uncover truth. Any other influence which motivates them, invalidates their credentials as a pure "scientist" and are merely just another person with an opinion

One issue not addressed. I have conducted research on the use of online teaching at the university. I could not get them published in major research journal. In one reply from the editor, he asked me to make my sample smaller in order to get results more favorable to online teaching. Try to find published research articles that show that online teaching is not as effective when compared to online. This type of research will not be published by major journals.
This talk should have more views in the past seven years. Too under-rated.
Practicing integrity in research is a very important topic. it helps a researcher to grow as a social creature. Thank you for this illuminating idea.

Trust in research is so important. Very well explained.
Serious concern raised about Industry funded research,should spread awareness about ethics in research.
Impactful talk on "Research Ethics - Ethical Theories".
Very impressive and highly effective Presentation on scientific method of research and research ethics, trust in research project. Very elaborated discussion
impactful talk on "Research Ethics - Ethical Theories".
The topic has been covered with a very impactful example!
Excellent deliberation on the ethics of knowledge production.
The video is critical and explanatory in methodology..Creation of knowledge and check of ethics is very well articulated.
Well done. Good to see and hear this, Garry!
Excellent talk on "Trust in research - the ethics of knowledge production".
Wow - I've been waiting for a talk like this to come out. So important. Well done.
Short n sweet. It covers almost all kinds of data. Thank you
In a few times,this young professor highlighted the deep theory.
Bias related to private funding is very clear way to frame the discussion of bias, but it's interesting that throughout the talk there was no discussion of federal granting bias and other forms of non-financial incentives that might skew research (like pressure to publish positive results and exaggerate findings in order to get published and cited).

Bias is bias, no matter who the funder is, a private company or a government agency. It is still wrong.
Thank you for discussion on the ethics of knowledge production.
