(1/2) Heute Abend startet die Jahresversammlung der #Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK) an der #Universität #Magdeburg.
Gemeinsam mit @WissRat hatte die #HRK im April ihre #Solidarität mit den #Forschenden in den USA erklärt
👉 wissenschaftsrat.de/DE/Home/Bu…
und festgestellt: 📣 „Die wissenschaftsfeindliche Politik der Regierung #Trump ist aus Sicht von WR und HRK eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für die amerikanische und internationale Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft.“
Jawohl, dem stimmt das Aktionsbündnis neue #sozialeMedien ausdrücklich zu. 👏
Aus unserer Sicht gehen die Entwicklungen in den #USA auf die verantwortungslose Nutzung von Internet-Plattformen wie #X u.a. zurück, auf denen völlig ungehindert #Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit, #Hass und #Hetze verbreitet werden.
Die #Hochschulen 👩🎓 👨🎓 in Deutschland sollten zur Nutzung von wirklich sozialen Medien wie #Mastodon übergehen, wie wir es in unserer Petition
👉 openpetition.de/UnisInsFediver… vorgeschlagen haben.

An update posted yesterday to Liz Cullinane's GoFundMe appeal for my wife and me:
"Last night, Given suffered an episode of atrial fibrillation. It was her third in the last four months. She spent New Years Eve in a public hospital in the nearby town of Ejido as she did in February, a week after Valentine's Day.
"Given has suffered a chronic form of the condition for nearly a decade. Aggressive episodes used to occur every six months, each requiring hospitalisation and cardioversion (a procedure in which the heart is stopped and restarted under anaesthetic). She underwent a laser ablation of the heart in Berlin but an error in the procedure put her in intensive care for ten days. A change of medication following another episode in England felt promising when, for the first time, her heart got through eighteen months without the slightest flutter.
"Until this year.
"It is clear that Given needs much better specialist care than she receives as a transient patient in different emergency words across Europe. She has had to bear the costs of these visits as a private patient (our prescription medications already cost about €uro 300 a month, depending on where we are) and although it has been a financial strain, it is a mere fraction of what we would have had to spend in the USA, even if we were fortunate enough to be insured.
"This latest episode underscores the urgency of our quest to settle somewhere and through a temporary residence, gain access to a national health care system and the regular care of competent physicians and specialists. Not to put too fine a point on it, our lives depend on it.
"We had planned to sail eastwards to Italy as soon as we re-launch the boat. But we are now considering an interim plan to fly to Rome, where we could stay with friends and where, also, we know excellent specialists who are willing to review both Given’s and my health and organise essential tests with an understanding of our limited finances. Some hospital services would be covered by a reciprocal healthcare agreement Australia has with Italy.
"We could leave Wrack ashore here in Almerimar and maybe even put her up for sale, the proceeds of which could help us rent somewhere. But old boats sell exceedingly slowly and in the meantime we would be adrift and shelterless. There is still no certainty that we will be granted residency anywhere — and thus be allowed to work and support ourselves, however modestly — even though we are optimistic. That said, a month or two anywhere would allow me to finish (finally) my long-promised book for the Dutch publisher, Thomas Rap.
"It is a desperate, complicated situation for which there are no simple solutions. Neither Given nor I have homes to which we can return. The help of this community has enabled us to survive 'in the wild' for a few years now but with the world the way it is, these days, we know that all of you are being confronted by the need to harbour your resources.
"This weekend, a dear friend had to lend us money so we could get groceries. We haven’t eaten much in order to invest in ensuring Wrack's seaworthiness. I spent today sitting with Given, whose heartbeat is still erratic, keeping her calm, staring at a heart monitor, and listening to the depth of her every breath as she rests.
"I wish this was a more positive update, especially as we have almost completed Wrack's maintenance and repair, thanks to you all and the community Liz Cullinane has created for us here. Given and I long for a different, more hopeful, less fear-filled narrative of our lives. Nonetheless, we are grateful for everything you have given us.
"Thank you."
Given had a significant set-back this afternoon when her 'low-level' tachycardia became something else and she collapsed in my arms, her body suffused suddenly by a gelid sweat. A young cardiologist intervened quickly to decellerate her heart rate as a crash team shooed me away.
Two hours later, her heart rate was steady, her blood pressure normal.
A new issue affecting her heart has been identified, although we need an English-speaking cardiologist to clarify for us what it is and how we should deal with it.

More necessary or more perilous? Experts on the case for a European supergrid after the Iberian blackout.
In an attempt to significantly ramp up its energy independence, the EU has revealed that it will be adding a further 89 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2025.
With widespread power failures and intensifying climate change, could it be time to revisit the dream of a European supergrid?

TALEBANI DELLA SCIENZA?
Difendere la razionalità e il controllo empirico non è fanatismo, ma l’unico antidoto contro l’arbitrio travestito da sapere.

Ma quali “talebani della scienza"? Chiedere prove alle pseudoscienze non è dogmatismo
Quando si è a corto di argomenti, si colpisce il modo in cui l’altro si esprime, specialmente quando si osa criticare una pratica pseudoscientifica con argomenti fondati. Ma la vera medicina si fonda sul dubbio metodico, non sull’immunità emotivawww.ilfoglio.it

The video depicts a military operation involving a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms and helmets, working around a large artillery gun mounted on a truck. The scene is set in an open, barren area with sparse vegetation, suggesting a training or operational environment. The soldiers are seen performing various tasks around the artillery, including loading and aiming the gun, with some individuals actively engaged in the process. The truck, a Tatra model, is equipped with a large artillery gun and is covered with a canvas tarpaulin. The soldiers are seen coordinating their efforts, with some standing and others crouching or kneeling, indicating a well-organized and disciplined operation. The video captures the soldiers' movements and interactions, emphasizing the teamwork and precision required in military operations. The environment is dry and dusty, with a clear sky, and the soldiers' actions are methodical and focused, highlighting the seriousness of their task.

in reply to Maronno Winchester • • •L'immagine è un'illustrazione in stile acquerello che raffigura due maiali. Il maiale a sinistra è rappresentato in modo realistico, con dettagli come la pelle grassa, le orecchie e il muso. Il maiale a destra è caricaturale, con una testa umana che ha capelli spettinati e una faccia che sembra arrabbiata. Entrambi i maiali sono grassi e hanno un aspetto sgraziato, con macchie sulla pelle. Il maiale a destra ha anche un'espressione di disgusto e ci sono insetti intorno alla testa. Sul terreno ci sono piccoli dettagli come escrementi e macchie di fango. L'artista ha firmato l'opera con "KUNE" in basso a sinistra.
