Just arrived from the #TrumpAdministration: "a new level of political interference with #NIH’s process for setting #scientific priorities." https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-officials-will-screen-nih-funding-opportunities
Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.
…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).
Some might have noticed I note here and there that I'm putting some #scientific journals with a bit more... out there topics on a list for future reference (Also, resources of research-obsessed #SFF #writers looking for ideas)
Well... here is the list so far:

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT OF THE KRONONAUT MOON
THE NIGHT FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH TIME TRAVELERS
(apologies for the all-caps) In spite of the #reality of the #freeworld in #chaos at this moment, #scientific, #artistic & #spiritual progress must go on. Please share #FullMoon #photos, before & after the #TotalLunarEclipse, noting any #anomalous #phenomena, like #UFOs or #UAP.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. med. #Cornelius #Borck: "A picture history of #consciousness"
This great "#power of #images" and the accompanying change in #scientific #discourse were reason enough for us to get to the bottom of this #phenomenon in the #history of #science in a conversation with Professor Borck. Therefore, here is the questionnaire for the interview.

The Amazing History of #Locality in #Theoretical #Physics
#Philosopher #DavidAlbert rambles (his word) for ½ hour on the often gripping (and #funny) #saga of #nonlocality in #scientific #thought. Starting with #fish, he ushers us along to #Bell's #Theorem in the 1960s. It seems we are "inescapably" in the age of nonlocality. Perhaps an age of #TimeTravelers?

@auscandoc A fair question to be sure, but I am trying to pose a more sharply defined #scientific hypothesis. For example, maybe the answer to my question falsifies my premise about what undergirds the value of Big Pharma's capital investments.

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.
Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.
Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.

#Scientists who receive NSF funding were already put on notice last week to cease any activities that do not comply with the executive orders. ‘In particular, this may include, but is not limited to conferences, trainings, workshops, considerations for staffing and participant selection, and any other grant activity that uses or promotes the use of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility DEIA principles and frameworks or violates federal anti-discrimination laws,’ a message to investigators said “NSF grants that are flagged for ‘further action’ because they don’t comply with the executive orders subject to a range of additional steps, including modification to be in compliance or being terminated in part or whole.
NSF a $9 billion agency funds #scientific research across the globe projects that advance scientific discovery & have intellectual merit, also required to have ‘broader impacts’ on society broadening participation in science among underrepresented groups of people”
Do recent #scientific discoveries make the case for #theism stronger?

Data wiped - National Technical Information Service #NTIS agency within US Department of #commerce The primary mission of NTIS is to collect and organize #scientific, #technical, #engineering, and #business information generated by U.S. government-sponsored research and development, for private industry, government, academia, and the public.https://www.ntis.gov/ There is no Data online here at all. #censorship #fascism #education This agency is a lynch pin for our research infrastructure.
It is cruel and at the same time incredibly stupid how the (partly facist) tech bro & fossil fuel oligarchy in the #US is now cutting #scientific #research #funding, according to this thread:

It shows a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be withdrawn, and how you cannot do #science with human participants without using words from that list. We need #academic #freedom to tackle the problems of today and the future!

What the Hell Is Going on at #NIH?
#Scientists sound the alarm about #Trump unprecedented “Big Brother” research #crackdown. “pause” goes beyond grant reviews - part of larger #blackout on #research at #NIH, across federal govt. Trump admin paused all external comms—”health advisories, weekly #scientific reports, updates to websites, social media posts” at #HHS, which includes the NIH, #FDA, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC). https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/donald-trump-hhs-nih-cancer-research-pause-crackdown-grant-funding-delays-cancellations-communications/ #medicine #healthcare
