-1. One of the aspects of parademic that is frustratingly hard to forecast is what actions or inactions people will take in the face of a biocalamity. There is no single motivation* that is consistently associated with what people chose to do or not do. The only tendency that is consistent is that what an individual and/or their community of identification did in the recent past is likely to be very influential on what they do with the interpretation of current evidence, experience, loss, gain, threat, that are related to biocalamity. Apparently social change cannot keep pace with the accelerating changes it has created in health and the environment. PDWN’s speculation is that there is an accumulation of orchestration of the various motivations toward behavior change or stasis, that there is no single factor except that long periods of time are needed. This all is further complicated with hysteresis, the lag between the cause of a behavioral change and the observable changed behavior, and not recognizing that there is a potential cascade where damage of loss of something that seems irrelevant to one’s interests can turn out to be critical.

-2. Community Characteristics Shape Climate Change Discussions after Extreme Weather. Political affiliations, the presence of local environmental organizations and prior local media coverage of climate change play a role in how a community reacts to an extreme weather event, according to new research.
-3. More Americans Are Dying at Home. Is That a Good Thing. More Americans Dying at Home than in Hospitals for First Time in a Century. Dying at home eases the burden on hospitals and probably financial burden on families during normal death rate conditions. On the flip side during a swift and lethal pandemic it may be better to centralize resources for care, treatment, mortuary services, medical personnel. Dying at home becomes especially problematic if bodies are infectious and exacerbates the problems if there is a conflict between a biohazard disposal of remains and traditional death rites.
-4. Knowledge Sharing: A How to Guide. How is knowledge exchanged and shared when interdisciplinary research teams work together. There were observed two fundamental patterns of knowledge exchange and integration in interdisciplinary research teams. The first is the theory method interdisciplinary collaboration pattern. This involves one party providing a theoretical understanding (i.e. how to interpret data) , and the other offering methods for collecting and analysing the data (the perception filter). The second it the technical interdisciplinary collaborative pattern. This is characterised by the exchange of learning tools such as algorithms and technical know how to solve a shared research question. Note that the first collaborative method is also the one used by conspiracy theory, antivax -GMO -science and ideologies. Achieving Optimal Collaboration When Goals Conflict, is often seen in parademics where the affected community goals differ from health and environment, sometimes resulting in polemic and physical violence as in the DRC =2= =3= =4=.

-4.1. Ten Tips for Conducting Focused Ethnography in Medical Education Research. (1) Know the difference, (2) Build relationships before you start, (3) Have shared purpose and knowledge translation strategies with your stakeholders, (4) Practice being reflexive, (5) Align research question with methodology, (6) Prepare your fieldwork, (7) Use a variety of methods for data collection, (8) Consider context on micro, meso, and macro levels, (9) Use triangulation, and (10) Provide a ‘thick description’. Interestingly these same tips, albeit with different vocabularies, are repeatedly found in guidelines of collaboration between different fields. The failure of collaborations can be attributed to one or more of these, either by not doing, or paradoxically by doing one in a non collaborative manner.
-5. Though all are affected by biocalamity, the hazards, risks, morbidity, mortality and recovery assistance are not equally distributed. The Vulnerability Bearers. The words that we use matter. They have the power to illuminate complex social processes. They can also readily obscure the truth. Offering a thorough account of why certain groups of people suffer disproportionately in disaster is complicated and can draw us into uncomfortable and politically fraught territory. But what choice do we have other than to use the power of our words in the face of mounting environmental threats. Our silence will not save us, so we may as well speak up. Various forms of inequality are consistently associated with anthropogenic biocalamity, but this fact is obscured both by those who prefer to hide inequality as a problem by rhetoric, and inadvertently by those who hope to reveal inequality by misstating the problem by framing in equally political rhetoric.
