It’s a consequence of my dedicated use of digital calendars that every Tuesday at 7.30pm I get an email saying “You have been invited by Rhodri Marsden to an event entitled Put Bins Out”

my 2000s Fox X-Men movie franchise hot take is that James Marsden was actually a really good Cyclops, the movies just gave him nothing to do

I'm sure it's totally coincidental that the AoNZ government's changes to the Marsden Fund have been followed by successful applications led by female investigators dropping from 55% to 33%, and successful applications led by Māori investigators dropping from 13% to 5%. 🫠 🧪

Kiedy uczę się jakiegoś utworu albo go gram,
muszę się zaangażować sercem i umysłem.
Umysł myśli o technice, a serce czuje żar muzyki.

W życiu jest chyba tak samo.
Trzeba używać jednego i drugiego.

so far I've heard nothing from the government or my own uni about the devastating cuts to science in New Zealand

I have however had an RSNZ rep tell me the Marsden team's vibe is "cool somebody finally said it out loud", and the science spokesperson for Labour, a chch MP, is visiting my lab

yesterday on RNZ I talked with Kathryn Ryan about cuts to NZ science funding and the risk of losing talent www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

here's some correspondence about the opposite problem: kiwi scientists who want to return home to work, but can't, given the bleak funding environment

Hi Sam! I'm XXXXX a postdoctoral researcher in XXXXX. I'm from NZ, was born and raised in Auckland, and did my PhD at the XXXXXXXXXXX. I've never lived anywhere else other than NZ, I used to want to build my scientific career there. And now, I don't ever see that happening. It feels like I have to choose between science and living in NZ. Maybe I was naive? I don't know, I thought maybe we learned lessons from the pandemic about how research was important and had benefits to humans? Let alone the fucking economy?? Anyway, pardon my french. Thank you for saying what you said. I'm proof of it, and there are so many others in my shoes. You better believe we will all be voting from wherever we are in the world. Ngā mihi nui, -- XXXXXXXXXXX - Postdoctoral Researcher

The Marsden Fund is a basic/fundamental/blue-sky research fund which has been dramatically cut and politically interfered with by our current govt, who think only things like rocket launches matter, so not related unfortunately

🎉 Exciting news! Our new Marsden-funded project, “Living on the Edge”, will explore how species use epigenetic adaptation to keep pace with a warming ocean

We’ll test if species can adapt fast enough to marine heatwaves — and help build climate-resilient aquaculture. 🌊🐟 @royalsocietynz.bsky.social

Introducing Marsden Point with new DLC | Manukau Ranges Part 7.0 | #citiesskylines2
Bridges and Ports DLC gets a work out with functional port! I also prattle Urban Geography concepts The Bridges and Ports DLC (along with the patch) is out from ‪Colossal Order and it time to get port building in Manukau Ranges! However, I engage in a quick urban geography review as the new game simulation engine has changed on how the zones and people will interact (welcome to Spatial Planning).
