So I'm doing a little study on magnetorheological fluids, just as a nobody citizen scientist.

but if it sounds interesting I'll be writing about it here. This is casually voiced - if the results are of note I'll write a proper paper.

I welcome feedback/info from any scientists in here :)

One moderator decision on Mastodon can cut off an entire server. In our new #CSCW2026 paper, we analyzed 1,800+ instances and found only 20% share their blocklists—and even fewer explain why.
Interviews with 12 moderators reveal tensions around openness, proactive safety, and nuanced moderation work as well as highlight opportunities to better support transparency and deliberation.

Contemporary conflict and ‘reimagining’ museum practice: Imperial War Museum sets out new research aims.
Institution will focus on a broader chronology as it prepares for the second world war centenary.
The Research Strategy 2026–2031 identifies three priority areas: “reimagining museum practice”; “understanding our collections: meaning, memory, value”; and “conflict histories that matter now”.

Gah I'm so excited! I was able to scrape together the money for a cheap and used 3 channel signal generator!

That means that I can study the effects of nested tri-coils on MR fluid.

I've always wanted to do research that's never been done before, something totally new. As far as I can tell, I'll be the very first to test this!

Granted I'm a simple citizen scientist without a uni, so I've no idea how i'd share my results, but I still can't help but be excited :)

…The #DOJ also is investigating whether #Harvard University is allowing #Chinese donors to create scholarships that exclude #US students 🙄, adding to the barrage of federal inquiries the #Trump admin has opened in its battle against the #university.

A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy said in a statement that the country opposes what it described as the politicization of “normal #scientific, #educational, & #academic exchanges.”

If #schools don’t complete a review & terminate any arrangements deemed “problematic” in the next 2 weeks, they face losing #funding. The purported goal is to protect taxpayer-funded #research from theft & exploitation, the #Pentagon said.

“The Department of War has zero tolerance for academic partnerships that compromise our national security,” Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said in a news release.

📄 I have published my summary of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) activities at #IETF126 in Vienna.

The report covers the Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW), the IRTF Open Meeting, and all 14 Research Groups—from AI networking and Internet architecture to routing, transport, privacy, sustainability, quantum networking, and more.

One aspect that makes the IRTF particularly valuable is its research model. Rather than organizing around individual publications, the IRTF is organized around long-lived research communities where researchers, engineers, implementers, operators, and standards experts collaboratively explore fundamental Internet challenges over many years.

At a time when AI is transforming how research is written, reviewed, and disseminated, sustained technical dialogue and open collaboration are becoming increasingly important.

A screenshot of a social media post by Korawich Kavee, PhD Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The post text reads, "I discovered yesterday that a paper in PLOS ONE has an alarming amount of overlap with one of mine from 2023, yet not a single citation was given. It’s possible their ChatGPT or other LLM referenced our work but hallucinated and failed to cite the correct source. My co-author (my advisor) and I have just emailed PLOS with details of the overlap, and we hope this doesn't get ignored. #Boost welcome and especially in #academic circle". Included in the post is a screenshot of an academic webpage featuring the title "Street-Level Urban Gravity: A Quantum System Approach to Human Centered Urban Space Design" by authors Korawich Kavee and Katherine Flanagan, with an overlapping text fragment that reads "...inspired pedestrian mobility modeling: Applying spatial simulation to urban walkability and comfort in Sri Lanka". The bottom of the post shows "Zia Lyle, PhD and 40 others", "3 comments", and "5 reposts".
