When I wrote my first research proposal, I was given one to emulate. How about we give that advantage to everyone? This story includes a link to our $190M NASA Earth Venture Mission Proposal: Butterfly

Scientists with active research programs I have a question for you. I am starting sabbatical in February and I’d like to spend some time organizing my research. What are your favorite tricks, large and small, for being effective in research?

"Persons who received the BA.5-containing bivalent booster had better neutralizing activity against all Omicron subvariants (especially against BA.2.75.2, BQ.1.1 and XBB) than those who received 1 or 2 monovalent [original] boosters"

There was a young man

a Mastodon challenge for anyone who sees this post: post something every day that a) is cool/interesting b) not about billionaires c) not about social media.
People, I have done the unthinkably American and spent my bonus on a very large TV. Wish me luck.

NIF does not so sustainable energy research. They are a weapons lab. That’s it.
Pretty excited that we can now see really crisp images from the laser holograms of 3D molecular clouds we’ve been brining to life over the last 5 years or so. Mad props to Linnea Rundgren, Catherine Zucker, ans Hannah Bish who have been working on this with me. Hit the link for a video. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0aapaMNkyGVf7reyGQlyAjUew

I just completed 3 years of service on the Dunlap Institute Advisory Committee. DI is Canada’s premier astronomical instrumentation institute and they are a big part of the wildly scientifically productive CHIME among many other instruments. It is also a place that cares deeply about people, and has shown time and again that supporting great science requires great support for people.

"At the request of both the STUC & JSTUC, the STScI is soliciting the community's interests & concerns related to data access policies." I know many people feel strongly about this important topic, so here's the place to formally express your thoughts! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXeJGP5vMKpRWmTqhrmgXT5rHe-A-rpG25yYnYgBZk3FXwew/viewform

social media meta
The sudden explosion of interest in Hive does not, I think, indicate that it's an op. More likely, people are dissatisfied with the available options post-twitter (yes, including mastodon), and are hungry for something that might be better. And people understand network effects, so they are inclined to hype things up as much as possible.
I don't think a startup can do it. To my mind there is one company who could announce a product that would end the uncertainty overnight. They already have a huge userbase. They already have the infrastructure to support massively-connected message graphs. They already have a lot of experience with moderation and balancing the needs of communities and governments and corporate ad-buying departments. That company is Reddit.
If Reddit announced a new user-specific UX with twitterish feeds tomorrow, they would start off with more users than Twitter ever had. With opt-in integration between the new feed and existing reddit subscriptions, the ramp-up time would be essentially nil.
Personally, I don't want that to happen. I'd prefer to see Mastodon grow and evolve and firmly establish Open Source as the best way to implement social media. But Reddit is the dark horse I'm watching out for, and they'd be crazy not to be working on it.
Xkcd.com/2701 is the secret to my success
Ok Mastodon, here is a first view of holograms I am making of nearby starforming molecular clouds in 3D. $ from NSF, help from Catherine Zucker, Linnea Rundgren, Hannah Bish, and JHU
