Correct. My work is funded by DOE. However, my spouse's work is funded by NSF. So in this household, from a professional perspective, we'll be feeling the squeeze in terms of stress about when we can expect NSF to reopen and its excellent staff to be able to interact with us again about funding, support, projects, etc. -

First day back at SMU after the winter break. Good day. Made progress on research proposal to Department of Energy, caught up with awesome people, mucked up a desktop linux upgrade (slowly recovering), and scheduled a run for the afternoon. Recovery from the autumn is commencing nicely. -

It is going to be in the 70s F today in Dallas. Summer sucks but winter is the payoff around these parts. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/53315 -

While I would certainly welcome more and larger sources of funding for basic research, the role of government will always be large. Governments, for instance in the U.S., represent the interests and resources of a constituency. More and more, science needs large and long-term projects. Even fields once considered small, single-investigator driven areas are beginning to co… -

From almaobs https://twitter.com/almaobs on Twitter: We have 66 antennas: 54 with 12-meter diameters and twelve with 7-meter diameters. Through interferometry, we combine signals from each one to emulate a giant antenna up to 16 km in diameter. #SundayMorning https://twitter.com/almaobs/status/1081973672922046470/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/53295 -

@xrevan86 Thanks. I wasn't planning on it coming back, and anyway people will have moved on. I am mostly hunting down people on other services and trying to reconstitute my feed with interesting people and content. -

Just to confirm: quitter.se (and quitter.no) are dead, yes? Clearly, I missed a whole bunch of stuff on the social web last year when I was buried under research and teaching. Can anyone fill me in? -

"Dont Let Podcasts Die in Darkness" I love podcasts. I donâ**t get to listen to all the ones I like all of the time, but I love knowing that interesting content â** from polished news programs to amateur computing tips â** are there at my command when I do have time. However, a trend has grown slightly greater on the web â*¦ Continue reading "Donâ**t Let Podcasts Di… -

I was able to take my first outdoor run in weeks. The autumn was a TERRIBLE time for me maintaining the exercise routine that makes me happy. I'm recovering from that now. Lack of exercise took a physical toll on me in the fall. but NO MORE. I managed a 4 mile run today. It hurt, but it was totally worth it. -

Spending part of today catching up on urgent work items and "beautifying" the file system architecture of my home server after the recent upgrades. Executable code being moved off gluster; reserving gluster for large-file storage. Noticeable speed improvements already in my local Diaspora* pod and GNU Social instance.
