As #Trump Targets #Researchers , #Europe Makes a Pitch to Attract #Scientists

The continent’s leaders are hoping to benefit as the Trump administration cuts support for research and threatens universities such as #Harvard and #Columbia with the freezing of federal funds.

#LabPlot, the project for #statisticians, #researchers, #scientists, #engineers, #educators and #students, publishes version 2.12 of its #FREE comprehensive #dataAnalysis and #visualization tool. 🚀

This version adds more plots and #plot sub-types, expands the number of functions for spreadsheets, includes new analysis tools, as well as an experimental software development kit.

The project is partly funded through @NGIZero.

"#DeepSeek, and the #opensource #AIecosystem surrounding it, has rapidly evolved from a brief snapshot of technological brilliance into something much bigger—and much harder to stop. Tens of thousands of developers, from seasoned #researchers to passionate #hobbyists, are now working on enhancing, tuning, and extending these open source models in ways no centralized entity could manage alone."

"Regulatory #uncertainty, #funding cuts, #immigration restrictions, & diminished international collaboration create a perfect storm for #BrainDrain," said Gray McDowell at…Capgemini Invent.

…#Europe's political leaders feel the stance of the #Trump admin has put wind in their sails.

"The American government is currently using brute force against the #universities in the #USA, so that #researchers from #America are now contacting Europe," #Germany's chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, said.

In #Germany, as part of coalition talks for a new govt, conservatives and Social Democrats have drawn up plans to lure up to 1,000 #researchers, acc/to negotiation docs from March seen by Reuters that allude to the upheaval in #US higher learning.

Reuters spoke to 13 European #universities & #research institutes that reported seeing an increase in US-based employees considering crossing the Atlantic, as well as half a dozen US-based #academics pondering a move to #Europe.

The European Research Council, an #EU body that finances #scientific work, told Reuters it would double the relocation budget for funding #researchers moving to the EU to €2 million ($2.16 million) per applicant. That goes towards covering the cost of moving to a European institution, which may involve setting up a laboratory.

We're pleased to know that #LabPlot was used to perform calculations in this recent study on robust access to furo-fused #heteropolycycles:

👉 mdpi.com/1420-3049/30/4/948

MDPIAn Appealing, Robust Access to Furo-Fused HeteropolycyclesRecently, nitrostilbenes characterized by two different or differently substituted aryl moieties, obtainable from the initial ring-opening of 3-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene with amines, have proved, by means of a stepwise double coupling with phenolic-type bidentate C/O nucleophiles, to be valuable precursors of oxygen-containing heteropolycycles and of fully conjugated systems therefrom via an efficient 6π-electrocyclization and final aromatization. Herein, the methodology is extended, after suitable optimization, to diverse heterophenols to afford new appealing heteropolycyclic systems of potential interest as drug leads. The synthetic results are fully consistent with up-to-date quantomechanical calculations. For some of the new molecules, a significant fluorescence is reported, with a potential for future applications, e.g., in the field of optical devices.
