I’m visiting Chicago this week for #AGU22. If anyone is curious about @2i2c_org and how we’re making research more impactful, accessible, and delightful with cloud infrastructure, I’d be happy to give a demo.

Will 🇨🇦 @NSERC_CRSNG and 🇫🇷 @CNRS implement similar policy changes in 2023, the Year of #OpenScience? Will 🇺🇸 @NSF and @NIH? Government funded #research products are public goods.
NASA has released their revised Scientific Information Policy (SPD-41a). The policy defines SMD’s commitment to sharing scientific information produced from NASA’s missions and research through Open Science practices. science.nasa.gov/researchers… #NASA #OpenScience #SPD41a

Thanks @NASA for leading humanity into the 2023 Year of #OpenScience and fortifying the vision with new policy.
#NASAScience remains committed to making science from our missions & research more accessible to the public. Our updated scientific information policy, with its implementation starting with ROSES-23 and new missions, aims to uphold these core values. More: go.nasa.gov/3PjkFgL

UBC CS is hiring in core AI/ML methods with "additional preference (but not a requirement) for candidates whose work makes interdisciplinary connections to Economics". @ubcVSE would be thrilled if we can have further connections/collaboration with @CAIDA_UBC and @UBC_CS
UBC is hiring 3 asst profs in AI, 1 each in CS, Stats, Math, for a new research cluster on AI Methods for Scientific Impact. They'll join 2 new hires from last year (CS, Stats) and an existing team of 18 core AI researchers across @UBCscience @CAIDA_UBC caida.ubc.ca/aim-si
