🖥️How to protect research institutes from cyberattacks? That is one of the main questions discussed at the annual spring meeting of the Leibniz-Gemeinschaft IT working group hosted Leibniz-Institut für Naturstoff-Forschung und Infektionsbiologie - Hans-Knöll-Institut. The heads of the IT departments discuss technical issues related in many ways to our research. ⌨️
Today we celebrate Alfredo Roa-Henriquez and his team for receiving a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant! As you'll see in our announcement, "This research promises to deliver meaningful contributions to the field of disaster resilience and improve the capacity of minority- and women-owned businesses to recover and thrive after catastrophic events."

Sad developments in New Zealand's science sector. I understand several universities and CRIs are struggling already, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. What perspective does this give to Kiwis considering a career in science and those whose jobs may be threatened due to funding cuts? I would not be surprised if this leads to considerable brain drain and long-lasting damage to the science sector in NZ.
On Monday night I hosted a panel discussion for the launch of the Save Science Coalition's report on the current science funding and job cuts in Aotearoa New Zealand, Science Under Threat. Obviously we'd all rather not have to be talking cuts and threats - but it's time the science community started making clear what we stand to lose. You can check out a recording of the panel on YouTube, and download the report below. Please share as widely as possible! https://lnkd.in/gyviumVh

In response to Transmission Control's appre iated acknowledgement and posting, the reasons federal officials have not provided the public with clear advice about this gastroscope-related infection risk -- as also the risk disposable endcaps falling off of new #duodenosocope models inside patients during #ERCP -- is unclear to me. My recommendation -- see the call-out below, as I was the first to publish this concern -- to improve the reprocessing and safety of #gastroscopes is sound and evidence-based. #EGD #CDC #FDA The link to my original article from which this quote was taken is: https://lnkd.in/eeVPEXnQ

OPRE's Research and Evaluation Conference on Self-Sufficiency (#RECS2024) kicks off today! Looking forward to attending in-person after a few years of virtual RECS. On Thursday morning at 10, I'll be joining Owen Schochet, Daniel Litwok and Lauren Deutsch Stanton to present as part of a panel on "Estimating How Contextual Changes Affect Program Impacts: Lessons from Conducting RCTs During the COVID-19 Pandemic." We will discuss empirical methods to investigate the extent to which large contextual changes (like a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic) within well-designed RCTs might influence the impact estimates derived from those studies. How should we interpret data that are collected within these changed contexts? Can we responsibly draw conclusions about program efficacy beyond these contexts? Join us to learn more.
