Wake up babe, the @dailybutts@mastodon.art bot is back in action!!! https://mastodon.art/@dailybutts/117008199392722087

@thibaultmol@en.osm.town I don’t think I’m smarter than you, I’ll just say that this means that researchers in Australia and the EU (and other associated countries) can work together in EU-funded collaborative projects. The Australian government will pay into this “pot”. This is absolutely amazing news for researchers - it makes working together SO much easier, and will probably enable some very cool projects that couldn’t be tackled by people from one country or region alone. Besides research, I think it’s also an important geopolitical sign that like-minded partners work together.

@AngelaCarstensen@norden.social @Tuuktuuk@piipitin.fi The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu account does reply to some questions: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116578585213986856

@yvanspijk One day, while I’m looking at one of your infographics, my eyeballs will just pop out of their sockets because it’s all just SO fascinating!!

@Tuuktuuk@piipitin.fi I think they only (or mostly) reply to factual questions, not to general feedback (or insults of course). I only found this comment because it’s a reply to an account I follow, otherwise it’s only visible if you scroll through all the comments under an EU Commission toot. @AngelaCarstensen@norden.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@Tuuktuuk@piipitin.fi I see around 15 in the last week or so. My mastodon client is IceCubes for iOS, and I have the option to look at an account’s “posts and replies” on their profile, so it’s easier to see the replies than by scrolling through their posts individually. Some answers are indeed just “thank you” or “happy Europe Day to you too”, but some are short personal replies to someone’s comment or criticism. @AngelaCarstensen@norden.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@OliverCzulo@spd.social OK, aber die Abkürzung "SchleHo" habe ich wirklich noch nie gehört, die versuche ich mal zu übernehmen! :BigBlobhajHug:

@KIT_Karlsruhe Frei nach dem Motto „Gayer geht immer“ fällt Euch bestimmt etwas ein 😁

@KIT_Karlsruhe Ich entfolge Euch jetzt, weil mir das Logo BEI WEITEM nicht queer genug ist 😠😠😠 (Nein.)

@RKI@social.bund.de Schöne Feiertage auch an das RKI-Team, danke für dieses Video und alle anderen! 😊

@kitation They’re the same bear, just in two different outfits 😏

@ilumium Vive la Belgique, vive le chou de Bruxelles !

@ilumium Guten Appetit! Vielleicht haben sie auch eine mit Matjes oder Labskaus

@wissenschaftsjahr Für die Nerds hier im Fediverse ist das doch nicht kompliziert 😎 (Und auch außerhalb nicht unbedingt - wartet mal ab, bis es in einem der nächsten Wissenschaftsjahre vielleicht um Kernphysik geht 🫣)

@jmaris@eupolicy.social Ooooh, I love it (and find it a bit strange tbh)

@jon@gruene.social Just like every other lobbying battle with high stakes, isn’t it?

@jon@gruene.social Desperation or poor negotiation skills? Lack of (in-depth) knowledge of the topic? We’ll never know.

@NatureMC@mastodon.online You're welcome. I think I just rephrased what the EU Commission account tried to say in their three bullet points, but the specific context and implications can be a bit opaque if someone doesn't read about research policy very often. @thibaultmol@en.osm.town @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@yvanspijk@toot.community Is “gynaecologia” Neo-Latin or Greek? The components are all Greek but it was possibly used in Latin, so the answer may be “both” 😅
