  1. Good times representing UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) at the Swiss National Science Foundation @snsf_ch #RoR24 event last week.

    Here is Becky Ioppolo and @drstevenwooding (from Cambridge's Action Research on Research Culture Project lnkd.in/e6pcX2Hp) and myself representing the pink-purple spectrum in #ResearchonResearch / #Metascience

    Hot off the press - our report on gender disparities in grant seeking at the University of Cambridge (who applies for and who gets research grant funding).

    bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/pub

    The story:
    1) The structural disparities are big (not so surprising)
    2) The patterns of disparity at particular grades in particular disciplines go both ways (more surprising)

    @tomstafford when you have a chance, let me know of your suggestions for people tooting about the costs and benefits of decentralisation

    Kicking off the second day of SNSF Research on Research seminar - somewhat foggy, so here’s a view of last night.

    @aidybarnett from Bern, in the seminar. This ‘Bug Bounty’ programme for science has just been talked about: nature.com/articles/d41586-024

    The thing seems to be working out at the moment - although that’s mainly because of the thing.

    Spent time carefully testing different mixes of dye to find the colour I wanted.

    When I was ready with the shirt I found the dyes had a 'sludge' at the bottom and the bottle said:

    'SHAKE WELL before use’

    Important lessons:
    Personally:
    1) Read the instructions more carefully
    Professionally:
    2) Make sure your experiments are like the real world
    Reassuringly:
    3) I like most shades of purple…

    Back on the ‘Other platform’ I used to have a series as I'm quite into understated design flourishes.

    Here's one from conference centre that amused me:

    (Would love to know if they experimented with designs which tried to have the wheelchair user obviously in need of the toilet as well)

    So which iPhone do you think is my old one and which is my wife’s? This is a lottery where I don't like my chances.

    For anyone following along @sfmatheson found the paper. It was in Science in 2016
    (something I thought was longer ago, turns out to be more recent, which is unusual).

    science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

    Thanks to those who boosted:
    @natematias
    @aidybarnett
    @academia

    Now to have another go at understanding the maths…

    Hey Mastodon folks - I remember a paper that tried to estimate 'intrinsic scientific talent' (Q-factor?) looking over researchers’ careers, from at least 10 years ago. I think it looked at when in a researchers career they tended to do their most cited work. I remember the maths being beyond me. My search engine skills are failing me - can anyone remember the paper?

    It's hard to take 's assurances that they take on-line safety seriously when they ‘upgrade' the screentime controls and the default settings for the kids are:

    a) more than 24hrs in a day!

    b) or an offer to split across devices we don't have

    (The previous settings where a couple of hours on Xbox. We have no Windows boxes).

    Why not just migrate the current limits as a default?
