Because of the asymmetry of power between science and occultism, and the ever-growing public faith in the authority of science, the members of a borderland institution like the Alchemical Society had to work self-consciously to solidify its public perception as a scientific society. But the subject of the Society—alchemy—already enjoyed considerable prestige in the occult community. So the Alchemical Society used the impressive scientific and educational credentials of its membership as part of its self-validation in the eyes of the scientific world and the broader public. Most formal mentions by the Journal of its members (either as authors of papers or as participants in the... 

Since the most significant portion of validation evidence rests upon ethos proof, the credentials of the validators are of utmost importance. The credibility of their collective testimony relies upon both their expertise and the objectivity of their conclusions. That expertise is a matter of education and training, experience, and access to appropriate tools and... 

It s all educational. Sure, Merck would treat doctors to nice hotels and dinners, but it always included credentialed speakers and solid scientific information, this argument goes. The scientific value of the meetings had to have preeminence, insists Boyd Clarke. (The former executive who spent more than 15 years at Merck notes that I avoided islands as venues.)

If they had higher IQs than white Americans it was only marginal. Yet data suggest that a Chinese American kid could spot a white American kid 7 IQ points, and match them for the credentials that got them into university. If you look at the occupational profiles in the cohorts of the 1980 census, you would have sworn that the Chinese kids had a mean IQ of 120 rather than 100. Of course one-third of that was due to the seven points. It meant that the relevant IQ threshold for entry into high-status jobs was 93 for Chinese, as compared to a white threshold of 100. The other 13 points came from... 

Program development for all phases involves five tasks. During the first task, EP Coordinators should staff, train, and exercise a crisis communications team. This team forms a critical link between technical experts and the population at risk hence, its members should have skills in communicating with both groups. In addition, the crisis communications team should be represented by a spokesperson who is technically competent to explain emergency conditions clearly and will be perceived as credible because of relevant credentials (e.g., job title and educational degrees), acceptance by other sources of known credibility, or a demonstrated history of job performance that has enhanced credibil-ity [3.36] helpful if this spokesperson...
