**BIG NEWS in the geology world!** For the first time, scientists spotted an active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge!!

They visited the hydrothermal vent the day before, where a vibrant ecosystem thrived in the sweltering water. The next day, everything was gone. ⚒️🧪

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time (Gift Article)

Proposal writers, this is very much worth a read and a minute of your time - strong evidence that random grant allocation (above an agreed threshold) helps drive change…

(I say this as someone who dreads the gut-wrench of being on the wrong end of a random allocation process).
💥New: More funders are turning to randomisation to allocate grants fairly when competition is fierce. Ken Emond, the Head of Research Funding at the British Academy (@britishacademy.bsky.social) shares how they're using it for Small #Research #Grants, & the positive outcomes after 3 years.
How randomisation has changed the British Academy’s approach to research funding - Impact of Social Sciences
As more research funders adopt randomisation, the British Academy explains why it has used partial randomisation to allocate its Small Research Grants scheme.
