vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/ #virginia data still exists and is still being published regarding #flu #rsv and #COVID.

Sorry travelers to the #US and between #states: #cdc et al have been ordered to cease all external publication and comms.

If the data are still being collected and getting out there by #alt accounts, thank you #publichealth advocates inside the asylum.

#researchers outside #us government control, hope you can collect and communicate somehow.

🐱 A study by @universityofgroningen #researchers of #Dutch #cat owners reveals:

Many of them anthropomorphize their pets, attributing #human #social roles like family member or #child.

➡️ "Cat owners’ anthropomorphic perceptions of feline emotions and interpretation of photographs"

This can lead to misinterpreting #feline emotions and behaviours by projecting complex human-like social and emotional characteristics onto cats.

I consider giving a talk to my colleagues in my research dept about #Fediverse and #Mastodon. I wanted to do that 2 years ago but haven't take the time - yet.

I more or less know what I want to say, but I need a visual support. And maybe additional background would be a +.

Do you know of a nice presentation/doc from which I could extract useful visuals (and maybe quantitative facts)? Even better if it's meant for #academics / #researchers.

A recent study found that the number of researchers leaving science within the first decade is nearly 50%. And women are twice as likely as men to leave the field. “When you have this kind of big data, it becomes more compelling to recognize that this is a problem,” says Joya Misra, a sociologist at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, who studies gender and inequality in academia.

Delaying crewed #Moon landings into the late 2020s could increase the chances that lunar #astronauts 👩‍🚀 will be exposed to more extreme #SpaceWeather ☢️ and its damaging effects. While extreme storms are less likely between now and 📆 2026, the #researchers say, the interval between 2026 and 📆 2030 will carry a higher likelihood of big events that mission planners may have to consider. astronomy.com/observing/could-

Astronomy Magazine · Could hazardous space weather threaten NASA’s Artemis program?Space weather generated by the Sun poses a risk to astronauts and the technical systems they rely on. New research shows that if Artemis is delayed, that risk will increase.

Our work in a research article in Sustainability (MDPI) about Climate Bonus (#Klimabonus) has achieved more than 100.000 views after two years!

So proud that our work on #climatemitigation responses well in the scientific community. We need more #transdisciplinary work as collaboration between #researchers and practicioners.

MDPICreating Monetary Collaborative Spaces for Social and Ecological TransformationComplementary currencies have spread to many places around the world at the beginning of the 21st century. Creating sustainable economic cycles and short transport routes are often the goals of introducing them. Due to their manageability, regional currencies can be embedded in debates of regional economics and sustainability. Above all, they are suitable for democratic experiments that can show in real environments whether currency designs work as examples of collaborative communities and research. One of these monetary experiments is the climate bonus, which is linked to the local currency Chiemgauer. The research path goes into the daily routine of a real laboratory to find out which methods would be effective enough to deliver carbon savings. The climate bonus creates a monetary network where people can try out new behaviors in a protected space. As a result, three years after the initiation of the project, carbon reductions are above expectations.
