Academics and Researchers !! 
I'm running a study looking at how academics/researchers get feedback on their research and we need just a few more responses. If you'd like to help, the online survey is here:

You're compensated with twenty of the finest English pounds (or international equivalent) for a few minutes, and it's all anonymous!
#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.
@noamross Critical work--thank you for this! #researchers who've lost funding, consider providing a testimonial about the impact of this form of censorship on your work! https://www.defendresearch.org/testimonials
"#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."

The #Trump Administration Is Turning #Science Against Itself
In addition to firing #researchers and pulling funds, the Trump administration is also inverting science
"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.
The Post Growth Fellowship returns for 2025! We’re thrilled to introduce the fourth cohort of Post Growth Fellows: https://medium.com/postgrowth/introducing-the-2025-post-growth-fellows-96fc3f27af31?source=friends_link&sk=7c78758b97a9a25f28df29b25412b96b
From April to November, we journey with an inspiring cohort of 26 #researchers, #creatives, #activists, and #community #organizers as they share bold, grounded examples of life beyond capitalism.

Tomorrow at #CITP: Tuesday Seminar at 12:30pm w/ @skairam presenting his talk: "The Threads That Bind: Crafting Successful Online Communities" in Sherrerd Hall 306. Sanjay previously launched #Reddit for #Researchers & is now at #OpenAI.
4/8/25 - Livestream available for all.
Fascinating and oddly beautiful Proboscis #Monkeys of #Malaysia #Indonesia, have webbed feet and live in harems. Now #researchers discovered why they have such long noses! Help them survive when you #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives https://wp.me/pcFhgU-5G6
Oxford Scientists Say They've Achieved Quantum Teleportation

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

It's rewarding to us to know that LabPlot was used for #DataVisualization in this recent study on oxidative and excitatory neurotoxic stresses:

#Physicians, #Nurses, #Researchers, #Healthcare workers, #lab techs, do you want to get out of 
?
Boy do we have an offer for you: #MedMastodon
The #KrononautMoon Project seeks to make contact with #TimeTravelers — i.e., extradimensional beings — by promoting decentralized community experiments during the #TotalLunarEclipse. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in the next 2 years. The first of the triad occurs next month on 2025 Mar 14, the night of the #FullMoon & March's #WormMoon. All are invited (even skeptics) to celebrate on Thursday or Friday evening under the stars — wherever you are.

@KronoMoon on #Mastodon shares toots, articles & videos on various sub-themes and sub-theories, because any theory of #TimeTravel is polydimensional, beyond our current technology, and incomplete. Often associated with #UFOs or #UAP, a real-life encounter with a #spacetime ship or a #TimeMachine is less likely than some kind of #quantum #signal. It's possible that such signals have been beaming toward us for a long time. Please take lots of #photos of the #Moon and share them with @KronoMoonPhotos, so that we can document any anomalous phenomena. The plan focuses on Lunar Eclipses that are "Total" (typically occurring about once per year) and not other types of Eclipses.
