Agrichemical group will open a research centre in Berkshire, in a move hailed by UK government as ‘clear’ vote of confidence

Happy to have written a preLight with @Co_Biologists covering two preprints looking at funding and publications! A data science approach to analysing #funding decisions and #publications in #biosciences, unfortunately I'm not sure they told me what I need to propose for a successful grant or how I will win a fancy prize for my work.

Mirror mirror on the wall, what is the fairest funding call?

#EASAC works across 3 #science4policy programmes: #Energy, #Environment and #Biosciences & Public Health.

🔬 But what are biosciences, actually? And why do they matter for policy, industry and society? Here, we explain the key principles and disciplines.

Just in time for me to take on my travels to #fosdem a new @rpimag appears! My bits this month are a build log of the amazing #Pioreactor kit from @labcrafter (representatives of which will be at FOSDEM!). As well as the 2nd part of my bigger budget #underwaterROV build where I retrofit an old Sony #camera dive case with a Pi Camera setup! #making #reuse #biosciences #bioreactor

London #FT reports on investors that lost billions on #PumpAndDump stock scheme that inflated values of little known traded entities of small US-listed #ChineseStocks that plunged in value shortly after being heavily #hyped on hyper #capitalist social media accounts.

#Geolocation metadata suggests that key market movers were based out of #Russia and #Iran, — " a trend #InvestorLink has identified in other pump and dumps, some of which are more extreme than others."

By June 17, shares of a tiny Chinese herbal medicine holding company #Regencell #Bioscience — which reported a net loss of $4.4mn in 2024 — were up almost 60,000%, giving the company a market value of about $38bn, more than US based Jefferies investment banking group and US based Walgreens combined.

The #Regencell stock has since fallen 83%. There is no suggestion or unveiled evidence proving biz insiders were directly involved in its share price moves, and Sino based #Biosciences company has not responded to requests for comment on US market share moves as $33 Billion in value disappeared last month..
