Good Idea: Embrace the Fediverse!
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2023/11/30/the-fediverse-is-an-opportunity-learned-societies-cant-ignore/
Scholarly societies seem more into making money off publishing than actually socializing or fostering connections among scholars. They've been slow to embrace social media, sticking to old corporate platforms instead of jumping into tech like Mastodon. It's time for a change – a chance for these societies to show they're about scholarship, not just the bottom line.

Michael Rosbash, a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, sheds light on the significance of circadian rhythms. He delves into the far-reaching impacts of these internal biological clocks on everything from sleep patterns to medication effectiveness. Rosbash emphasizes the profound influence of natural light on our well-being, underscoring the adverse effects of a lack of sunlight during the day. He discusses the challenges faced by public funding agencies in supporting basic research and the need for a balance between basic and applied sciences. Through his insights, Rosbash advocates for a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms governing our daily rhythms.
