Yensi Flores Bueso (United States)
With the GYA, I was not only able to co-lead the first global study on research assessment but also to serve as a steering board member of CoARA. GYA opened platforms for me as a researcher coming from a country without research infrastructure.

Could humanity create a new form of life? 🧬🎙️ In the second episode of Science F⏩rward, the podcast of the UN Scientific Advisory Board, we speak with Board Member and Nobel laureate Thomas Südhof and synthetic biologist and GYA Co-Chair Yensi Flores Bueso about the idea of creating life from mirror versions of the molecules found in nature.🟢 Spotify: lnkd.in/eEnT_YfR🍎 Apple Podcasts: lnkd.in/eE7HxDVR🎵 Deezer: lnkd.in/evrt83NE🎶 Amazon Music: lnkd.in/e9gA9f8w▶️ YouTube: lnkd.in/edJhw2fK☁️ SoundCloud: lnkd.in/eAWj62i3🧬 Mirror life does not exist yet, but the science behind it is advancing rapidly. Some researchers believe it could transform medicine. Others warn that creating a self-replicating organism unlike anything found on Earth could introduce challenges we are not prepared for.🚨 What happens if humanity creates a form of life that is difficult - or impossible - to control? Could it lead to new treatments for diseases like cancer and diabetes? Could it become one of humanity's greatest biological threats? And if we can create mirror life, should we?Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating ideas in modern science, and why many scientists believe the conversation about governance needs to begin now.Find out:🧬 What "chirality" means and why it is fundamental to life ⚠️ Why some scientists say mirror life keeps them awake at night 🌍 What it means to make decisions about an innovation before it exists🎧 Listen, follow and subscribe now and never miss any new episode!Hosted by Adam Day and Julia BhattacharjeeAntónio Guterres, United Nations, Ayaka Suzuki ...

Join us on 2 July for the GYA International Conference of Young Scientists Panel III "AI at the Core of Disciplinary Foundations in the Humanities and Social Sciences" This session will explore how AI is pressuring the foundations of different research disciplines. Each panelist will present one disruptive question that AI has raised for their field, such as whether long standing methods remain necessary or how AI reshapes the kinds of questions researchers can ask. Speakers include Vusumuzi Maphosa, National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Zimbabwe, Fatima Roumate, President of the IISR and Expert Group for the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, UNESCO, and GYA member Anina Schwarzenbach, Institute of Penal Law and Criminology, University of Bern.Moderator will be GYA member Dr. Rima-Maria Rahal, Institute of Cognition and Behavior at Vienna University of Economics and Business.Livestream link here: youtube.com/live/dhJR6ACVTz8?feature=share ...
