Don't tell anyone, but back when I worked there I liked to pretend those tunnels were part of a Doom-style FPS game. (Yes, that's my hand holding a small tripod as a makeshift gun. Don't judge me.)

A rescuer’s job is built around a simple idea: when everyone else is fleeing, you stay.

Five rescuers were killed in a russian double-tap strike in Kharkiv. At least five more were injured.

They arrived after the first strike. Russia waited for them and struck again.

@ajayiyer my view is that institutions should publish their own research online, with a managed forum below for comment. I know why it came about, but using journal impact factor as a surrogate for the value or importance of a publication has always been inadequate and has encouraged back channels and favoritism. Institutions have a good incentive to maintain ethical and publication standards because it affects their reputation

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.

I'm on year 3 of trying to convince the UK gov to use Mastodon.. instead ministers are busy tweeting about Elon on Elon's platform.

Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say

The newly crowned world's first trillionaire is once again facing criticism over the violent narratives he amplified on his platform X.

I am so wildly in love with #London at the moment ❤️

Rode my bike into work early this morning along quiet main roads, then took a meandering route back home through the prettiest parks. Now sitting in my favourite park with cans, enjoying the buzz of summer. This city is such a sexy beautiful place❤️❤️❤️

I feel like this whole Anthropic export ban thing should be a wakeup call to anyone outside the US that if you've been newly developing a dependency on a proprietary US cloud service the government could decide to restrict export access to at any moment, you've made a strategic error and should probably reconsider that.
