“The work we (Genomics Aotearoa) did with kākāpō is now not possible, because the government has said that our funding should go to science that makes money. Saving remarkable species is off the table.” Very depressing situation for any research in NZ right now, no matter how crucial

I have been blessed to have been mentored and supported and befriended by so many amazing and brilliant scientists that I respect the hell out of, but learning to let go of the hero worship of celebrity scientists really does make it easier to exist in this world. (4/5)

NZ's govt has announced reforms to science funding just one line about basic science in there: "Discovery-led science & research will continue to be funded. This will sit outside the pillars & is essential for maintaining vibrant curiosity-driven science system" yea mate seems like a real priority

A new strategy for the science system | Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The Government is changing how science, innovation and technology are funded and supported in New Zealand. The goal is a simpler and more strategic system that helps researchers turn ideas into solutions that benefit New Zealand.

Early this morning, daylight saving began in New Zealand for another year. This is, I think, a good opportunity to highlight two Kiwi innovations: it was the first country in the world to establish a national mean time and a New Zealander invented DST. How did that happen? Well, read on... 1/20

We meet again. Friends will know I had a horrific encounter with this ethics committee member last year that delayed a lot of research due to fears about putting my LGBTQIA+ students in front of an ethics committee that condones this conduct. Much appreciation for this new complaint 👏👏👏

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991. Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens. As of this morning, it’s gone.

We synthesized findings from 22 studies (N = 7,314): Antibisexual discrimination was significantly associated w/ sx of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, but… the associations were significantly stronger for discrimination from heterosexual sources compared to lesbian/gay sources

horrifying news out of NZ - "refocusing" the Marsden Fund to drop social sciences and humanities research and emphasize the trendy business interests of the week. short-sighted, grotesquely anti-scientific, ideologically driven. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Government's Marsden Fund cuts: All humanities, social sciences research funding slashed

Cutting all research funding for the fields is a massive step backwards, critics say.

This is so backward 1. Science is more than just commercialisable widgetry 2. Making progress on our biggest problems (climate change, infectious diseases, misinfo to name a few) will need more collaboration between STEM and hum/social sci not less.
