This applies to all of us #Researchers - why do we keep flying all around the world just to give (or watch) some talks that could have been given or watched online???
Yes, in-person conferences are slightly better for "networking"... but is this really worth destroying the planet?!

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet
#UBC #researchers are launching the world’s first #mushroom-powered #waterless #toilet, the #MycoToilet, at the UBC #Botanical #Garden on September 26.
The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich #compost using #mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, #sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without #plumbing.

Many #researchers work with critical data: from climate sensors to satellite measurements and biomedical datasets.
Some move data out of the US, fearing sudden loss of access.

#Trump executive order gives #politicians control over all federal #grants, alarming #researchers
An #ExecutiveOrder signed by Trump late Thursday aims to give #political appointees power over the billions of dollars in grants awarded by #FederalAgencies. Scientists say it threatens to undermine the process that has helped make the #US the world leader in #research & #development.

My question for #researchers in the fields of #biology , #genetics , #medecine , etc... is are we going to be ready for the possibility of #PubMed and other #NIH online databases and services becoming one of the many casualties of the current #US administration and its increasingly unreliable #HHS department?
This is an interesting opportunity for the broader international research community to create a more distributed, resilient alternative. Scientists, citizen or otherwise... any ideas? #phd
