The paper studies how recent investigations of foreign influence in research have affected productivity of U.S. scientists working in the life sciences. Using data from PubMed and Dimensions between 2010-2020, Roberts and her co-authors compared publications of scientists who collaborated exclusively with Chinese scientists with those working with scientists from other countries outside of China and the United States. The authors identified a decline in both the productivity and quality of publications by U.S. scientists whose work involved collaboration with scientists in China. In her talk with the Strauss Center, Roberts will discuss their research and its implications in the era of tensions between the United States and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><strong>Registration required.\u00a0<\/strong><em>Please note that you must have a registered Zoom account to be able to register and log in.<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/utexas.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_rl24QOvBSOaDmgdUrW9dUA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Margaret (Molly) Roberts<\/strong>&nbsp;research interests lie in the intersection of political methodology and the politics of information, with a specific focus on methods of automated content analysis and the politics of censorship in China.
