Forschungsdatenprovider, Repositorien und FDZ sind längst zu einem Grundbestandteil der #OpenScience Transformation im deutschen Wissenschaftssystems geworden. Allein in @re3data sind mehr als 500 Einträge mindestens einer deutschen Organisation zugeordnet. Diese Vielfalt deutet zum einen auf die fachliche Breite hin, zum anderen aber auch auf die Herausforderung von Base4NFDI, übergreifende Dienste für eine Deutsche #Forschungsdateninfrastruktur anzubieten.

Diese Aufgabe wird von unserer Forschungsgruppe am @DZHW sozialwissenschaftlich begleitet. Durch die #WiBef konnten wir dabei bereits Perspektiven von über 6000 Forschenden in Deutschland zur @NFDI sammeln.

Ab heute startet die qualitative Befragung von Vertreter*innen Deutscher Forschungsdatenrepositorien. Dabei möchten wir zum einen mehr über die Bedeutung der Basisdienste für die Repositorien lernen. Zum anderen wollen wir uns aber auch wissenschaftssoziologisch der Frage nähern, welche epistemische Bedeutung diese Akteure im Wissenschaftssystem von morgen haben.

#sociology #epistemology #scienceofscience #science #ai Please could you warn your "scientists" to remain "scientists" ? I have been blocked after warning that accusing AI of being AI without knowing what is AI is dangerous I can't forward you his invitation to a witchcraft-AI ban: I'm blocked

Next was an excellent talk by @dgomezara on how all-female and female-led teams drive more breakthrough ideas in science and innovation at the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems youtube.com/watch?v=BWxoa7b2vu (4/5) #science #ScienceOfScience

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

Aha! THIS is ideal science:
CURIOSITY, clear communication,
respect (actual) corrections from anywhere,
honest effort to test and learn, and
share what you know with anyone interested.

It's not easy, but these are each necessary. I'm using 'science' here like STEM or STEAM.
So I broadly refer to a scientific method but also engineering expertise, mathematical review, and humanities' impact on supporting any of this to happen at all.

Ignoring currency hoarding by money addicts, the rest of us are here to enjoy contentment.
We can make real discoveries, inventions, and connect ideas to find useful applications.

(Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.)

@rozeboosje (I just assumed it was German? aaaa I am terrible at placing accents tho.) Frustrating af part is she clearly has an axe to grind with physics / academia and so do I.

It's possible I might have *more* reason to feel spurned unjustly, since mine is "systemic ableism led to late diagnosis, but I didn't get even the minimal support I was offered and accepted".

But I still stick to my vision of a better life for everyone I can help because that's... the only thing worth doing?

beep.

Semi-related: I need to do a basic layperson's guide to science set of videos. A bit like Minute Physics or CGP Grey, but about 'null hypothesis' (which I still need to learn, tbh) and 'a control group'.

Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.

It sounds like Sabine Hossenfelder is inaccurately diagnosing (some) real problems (and some false ones) as being scientists' fault directly.
The problems are a capitalist (profit-focused) failure of resource allocation. This includes a structure of education that incentivises "work-ready" skills over critical analysis.
You don't need to be an expert! Literally just encouraged to try, fail, learn, and try again.
THAT is 'science' -- not the scientific method (precisely) nor the institution of scientific research on a given scale of human organisation.

Glad that #NobelPrize Physics caught up with recognizing interdisciplinary discoveries! We investigated the interdisciplinarity of nobel prizes back in 2018 and found that some notable works, like Hinton&Hopfield, were missing recognition #scienceofscience

Nice, Hinton & Hopfield are exactly among the 70 interdisciplinary papers that "should" have gotten a #nobel price, as found by our 2018 paper: mszell.github.io/nobelplot/nob nature.com/articles/s41567-018
#ScienceOfScience

Plot of papers in the physics–chemistry–life sciences triangle, determined by how many relative citations each paper received from the respective community. Of the 220 interdisciplinary impact papers in the shaded interdisciplinary area we identify the largest groups by subject: artificial intelligence (AI; 16 papers), network science (18 papers), geology (15 papers), signal processing (11 papers) and quantum dots (10 papers).
