Archived news articles about events from just a few years ago are no longer showing up on internet searches in China, cutting off access to the country's recent history from all but the most resourceful researchers..
Deaf toddler can hear after world-first gene #therapy
A #British toddler who was born deaf has had her hearing restored by groundbreaking gene therapy. #Researchers say it marks a new era in the #treatment of #deafness.
Having started in Europe, #eduroam - the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international #research & #education community - is now available in 104 territories worldwide and emerging pilot locations!
Question for other #researchers and #ResearchSoftwareEngineers - if you are submitting supplementary materials to a conference, such as a #github or @huggingface repo, how do you anonymize the repo so that the name of the repo or the repo owner does not violate the anonymity requirements?
Are there any #medical#scientists or #researchers or #neurologists doing any current studies on human #brain & #memory retention - specifically on maximum capacities of human brain memory storage & if there's a limit to how much we can store in our brains?
Like, if we build up many new memories, do we reach a point where some past memories are removed from our memory storage or is there no maximum limits to human memory storage?
These are things I wonder about & don't know enough about.
Seeing a former #master's #student presenting her #thesis as best thesis (https://github.com/PostElefant/master-thesis) at a prestigious conference makes me proud.
Investing into #young#researchers always pays off. In multiple ways. And supervision is so much more than providing a topic and grading the result. It is ultimately about coaching, encouraging and learning.
What are your experiences and attitudes towards supervision?
I’m #lucky enough to #work in #academia for 15 years now, with a permanent position since 2016. My job is nothing less than my #passion.
Still, today, after one week of #holidays, I’m NOT eager to go back to work. I know many people also feel the same after holidays, because their job is somehow painful. For the very first time to me, I’m like them.
I’m still extremely lucky to be in a group with talented young #researchers, for whom I want the best and do everything I can.
#Researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) hope to better understand intricate #mechanisms behind the evolution of #galaxies, which travel through a "#cosmicweb" of different environments during their lifespans.
I am recruiting #clinicians and #researchers to be occasional #betareaders of medically-inclined #shortstories that often get published by Physician's Weekly. I will from time to time ask for technical input on the life of healthcare workers, or to read a story to make sure the clinical and healthcare worker experiences are realistic
There is, sadly, no money in it, but you do get an option to be in a story, or to nominate a victim
In a new paper, #researchers propose that the #dynamics of #rotatingblackholes is constrained by the principle of #gaugesymmetry, which suggests that some changes of parameters of a physical system would have no measurable effect.
Orchids Mosses & Ferns—or epiphytes are crucial for Earth’s #biodiversity and play essential roles in #forests around the world. Yet, even those are now under increasing threat via human caused disturbances.
#Researchers propose that a taste for #fermented morsels may have triggered a surprising jump in the growth rate of our ancestors' #brains.
In fact, a shift from a #RawDiet to one that included #food items already partially broken down by #microbes may have been a crucial event in our brain's #evolution, according to a perspective #study by evolutionary #neuroscientist Katherine Bryant of Aix-Marseille University in France and two US colleagues.
Israeli air strike in #Gaza kills prominent scientist Sufyan Tayeh
Prof. Tayeh was ranked among the top 2% of #researchers globally & was appointed #UNESCO Chair for Physical and Astrophysical Sciences in #Palestine

If you are tweeting or tooting about data dumps and are using screenshots of TAs' posts, remember to redact any links in the posts.
I have just seen two examples in the past hour where people tweeted screenshots that show the whole world where to find personal information of students in one case and protected health information in the second case.
