Letter: Cutting funding for science research will have far-reaching consequences
"The loss of these training programs harms the students of North Dakota - they are losing opportunities to explore possible careers as scientists. We are on the precipice of losing an entire generation of scientists," writes Jenni Momsen of Fargo.

@… I recently read "My Eyes are Up Here" by Lauren Zimmermann which is all about navigating these social issues.
I don't mean you presume you're looking for such a perspective but thought others reading this post might be interested.

They Looted Companies — Now They're Looting the Government
Most executives are no longer rewarded for building durable businesses or contributing to the real economy—they’re rewarded for how efficiently they extract value from the companies that they control.
“Because these people have gotten away with looting corporations, they’ve come to believe it’s their right …

Visual Mental Imagery and Aphantasia Lesions Map onto a Convergent Brain Network
Background Visual mental imagery, the ability to volitionally form perceptual representations without corresponding external stimuli, allows reliving of past events, solving problems and imagining the future. The absence of visual mental imagery, called aphantasia, has recently been recognized to occur in about 1% of the general population but the cause is uncertain. By studying rare cases of acquired aphantasia we can identify regions that when injured cause loss of visual mental imagery. Met…

Softwarelizenzen richtig vergeben (Teil 2)
Die von uns vergebenen Open-Source-Lizenzen sollen anderen Nutzer verdeutlichen, wie sie unsere Software nutzen können. Dabei hilft es, wenn sich eine Lizenz automatisiert auslesen lässt. Basis dieses Beitrags ist Teil 1 dieser Artikelserie, in dem wir uns mit dem Erkennen und dem Auswählen eines Softwarepakets auf Grundlage der vergebenen Lizenzen auseinandersetzten [1]. Nun nehmen wir die umgekehrte Perspektive ein. Wir sehen uns an, wie wir Lizenzen auswählen und so in unser Softwarepak…

Just bought a lifetime license for Atmos because it is just sooo good for creating perceptually uniform color palettes – including a shade generator, a contrast checker, OKLCH support, CSS export, a Figma plugin, online sharing, and, and… 😍 👉 https://atmos.style

Prospects for Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Science with eXTP
In this new era of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy, various new transients and new phenomena are constantly being discovered thanks to the rapid advances in observations, which provide the excellent opportunity to study the physics in the extreme environments. The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission (eXTP), planned to be launched in 2030, has several key advantages, including advanced polarimetry, high sensitivity & large effective area, and wide energy range coverage, which…

Towards a Small Language Model Lifecycle Framework
Background: The growing demand for efficient and deployable language models has led to increased interest in Small Language Models (SLMs). However, existing research remains fragmented, lacking a unified lifecycle perspective. Objective: This study aims to define a comprehensive lifecycle framework for SLMs by synthesizing insights from academic literature and practitioner sources. Method: We conducted a comprehensive survey of 36 works, analyzing and categorizing lifecycle-relevant techniq…
