Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️it keeps turning out to be a mistake to put one third of the internet in one building
Jez NicholsonI have a term in #OpenStreetMap that I call "nojà vu".... similar to déjà vu, it is the feeling on returning to an area of the map after a period of time that it was previously more populated than it is now, leaving the lurking dread that someone has deleted a load of objects. Often felt after sustained work on a different area of town, you are mistaken, there were never any houses plotted here.

arthurgesslerDo grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment - Scientometrics - or: we could save quite some time and a lot of resources if detailed proposals do not affect referees ratings https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-024-04968-7
Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment - Scientometrics
Scientists and funding agencies invest considerable resources in writing and evaluating grant proposals. But do grant proposal texts noticeably change panel decisions in single blind review? We report on a field experiment conducted by The Dutch Research Council (NWO) in collaboration with the authors in an early-career competition for awards of 800,000 euros of research funding. A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact their proposal rankings. This result suggests that the resources devoted to writing and evaluating grant proposals may not have their intended effect of facilitating the selection of the most promising science.
Is anyone in my network here involved in wildfire response, mapping, remote sensing, information or data needs for wildfire fighting? #wildfire #FireScience #RemoteSensing #GIS #ForestFire

Evan ProdromouI was reminded this morning of the amazing book "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" by Chris Cokinos. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in #biodiversity. It has deeply affected me.
Carlos Cámara-Menoyo@spestana I'd like to try @ResearchEquals too. On paper it seems great, but I struggle to get a clear idea on how to use it
