Opinion Piece: Beyond kindness: a proposal for the flourishing of science and scientists alike (Open Access)
This alignment, we argue, suggests a recasting of science from a competitively managed activity of knowledge production to a collaboratively organized moral practice that puts kindness and sharing at its core. We end by examining how Flourishing Science could be embodied in academic practice, from individual to organizational levels, and how that could help to arrive at a flourishing of scientists and science alike.
I particularly like the concept of empathetic joy as one of the values. How awesome is centering a delight in the achievement of others in one's approach to science (and life).
