Researchers just wrapped up an enormous simulation of the Universe using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab—the most powerful supercomputer on Earth. The simulation calculated the evolution of the Universe from its earliest times into a more modern era, including every known influence: matter, energy, dark matter, black holes, and more. The exascale-class supercomputer can perform more than a quintillion calculations per second.

OpenAlex, a big step towards Open Science? https://www.uu.nl/en/background/openalex-a-big-step-towards-open-science
Great interview with @jeroenbosman:
"in libraries the paid databases are viewed more and more critically. The question is now: what are the essential use cases for which you really need Scopus or Web of Science? ... With the arrival of @OpenAlex and other open databases such as OpenAire and The Lens, I think the list of use cases for which you really need Scopus or Web of Science is getting shorter."
Students should feel the opportunity to join the protest against budget cuts for Higher Ed, says the university.
If there's compulsory education, you will have to re-do the activity next year, says the university.
My take: you have no opportunity, unless you happen to have free time. Ridiculous!
