NSF this week began to search through billions of dollars of grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway. Learn more: scim.ag/40HjC0p

Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.

A proposal was submitted to a research council in the UK in September 2023. The applicants are yet to receive a decision in Dec 2024. The research moved on in 15 months, and so did the researchers. It's not a great place for the funder or the applicants.

In Je-S & Grant on Web days, one could see the list of proposals going to the panel before even the panel was convened. Now with TFS, the latest panel information available is from July 2024. From transparency & governance POV this should be addressed sooner than later.

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

How does Blue Sky pay for all the network costs for accommodating millions of users without advertising or anything similar? Asking for a friend.

It’s like twitter back in 2017-18! Great to see many old faces.

Wishing the Elsevier editors who desk-accepted this all the best for their next career moves. doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Nobody thought this meeting would end on time, but running over is also a justice issue. Who can afford to stay until the bitter end? www.bbc.com/news/article...

dcorney.com/thoughts/202... I think this is my favourite Uni league table not just because @uniofbath.bsky.social is at the top! Would love to see World rankings are there any on negative height above sealevel?

My word cloud is pretty accurate. Spray, Coatings, Cold Spray, High Velocity Oxy Fuel Spray, Thermal Spray!

The superpowers of coatings make possible the impossible! As a Professor of Coatings this is music to my years. Thank you to BBC! Great commentary from Ben Beake from Micromaterials, Xiaoling Zhang from Teer Coatings, Varnasi from MIT and Nuria Espallargas from NTNU www.bbc.com/news/article...

There is an important distinction to be had I think. UKRI is NOT an independent public body it is non-departmental public body. The Higher education research act (HERA) and the accompanying framework set out powers of the Secretary of State in relation to UKRI. www.ukri.org/wp-content/u...
