@ananya_jahanara@ERC_Research Not every reviewer. You can’t lead deep tech by making it harder to secure funding. If AI is not convincing, then you need to increase the number of resources. Only Asia provided enough reviewers to deliver the task.
Announced by the ERC today (really bad news for science!!! It starts in Europe but will affect everybody) Because the REVIEWING LOAD is so bad, if your application fails you may need to wait mulitple years (>3?!?) until you can submit again!
The ERC is the lifeline of the leading labs in Europe, so many research programs will be terminated (just no other sources to compensate).
The letter from the ERC says “the only way is to reduce applications” (highlighted in the picture below) No!!!
It's the wrong direction. Use AI to assist review. It’s not perfect (yet), but it allows more proposals to be evaluated, and it could support, not replace, human reviewers.
La asociación de afectados de #Parkinson en Bizkaia,
ASPARBI, celebrará su gala anual con una obra de teatro
Lo recaudado por la obra financiará la investigación sobre la enfermedad que lleva a cabo elCentro Vasco de Neurociencia Achucarro

In this work, we investigate the crystalline topology of a new family which hosts topological hourglass fermions. SmAsS exhibits a strong effective-mass enhancement, signaling Kondo physics, while the topological surface states remain robust. https://t.co/zUcKtfCvOq
German Chancellor Merz:
We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.
But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.
With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.
We are delighted to share that IOP Publishing has launched a special Focus Collection on Nanotechnology in Canada—a collaboration involving leading Canadian research institutes. Learn more and submit here:

Four decades ago, R. Feynman envisioned quantum processors for quantum simulation. In this article, our research scientists discuss instances where these processors have enabled small discoveries—“discoverino.”

Por si le interesa a alguien: Stanford ha puesto al alcance de cualquiera los mismos cursos reales de IA que ofrece a sus alumnos que pagan 200.000€. Si quieres el título tienes que matricularte y pagar pero si quieres aprender puedes aprender en teoría lo mismo que los alumnos matriculados
In the layered kagome metal CsV₃Sb₅, researchers have observed 1 something that, until now, seemed almost impossible: robust quantum interference in the normal, non-superconducting state, persisting over distances of several micrometers.

Real change requires far more than individual awareness. It demands a fundamental shift in how we collectively think and act. This 25th of November is a reminder that change is possible - but only if we commit to it collectively.
Hoy, a las 19 h, dentro de la #BienalCiudadYCiencia@cbamadrid, mesa redonda en el Condeduque @MadridDestino:
