I am very much looking forward to my first international transdisciplinary conference in presence this time at the University of Utrecht. This will also be my first visit to Utrecht. I can't wait to see this charming city and meet people from all over the world who identify with the conference mission that couldn't be more timely.

We already had the wave of physicists, we are still waiting on the shoe to drop on topologists, but THE WAVE OF CRYPTOGRAPHERS INTO NEUROSCIENCE is the single most promising thing that i can imagine for the discipline. I have been wailing about this for years, but if as a neuroscientist prof you were to go to attend the cryptography 101 seminar at your university, you would be LITERALLY ON FIRE with good ideas and one million obvious experiments that should be done.

i sorta "give away free research agendas" as a way to survive in academia and the one i wish most someone would pick up on is NEUROSCIENTISTS COLLABORATE WITH CRYPTOGRAPHERS so they would hire me.

social.cryptography.dogansuz / ऐरन (@ansuz@social.cryptography.dog)there's a wee story brewing in the #crypto world that I find absolutely fascinating. normally I'm 100% in the "crypto means cryptography" camp, but this one happens to touch cryptocurrency as well, so uhhh, whatever. It's kind of technical but the interesting part is the human social aspect, so I'll try to explain it in simple terms. 1/n I guess

This article showcases how #digital collaborations are transforming #data collection in archaeology. Students at the University of Pennsylvania were at the forefront of this digital revolution, working on groundbreaking projects that blur the lines between archaeology and engineering. Not only were they developing and leading #innovative digital projects (github.com/anatolian) – they were also gaining invaluable #transdisciplinary experience.

Two illustrations of the importance of cross-pollination in science.

“In any case, plant scientists were routinely thinking about the Krebs cycle in terms of growth, rather than ATP synthesis, long before most cancer biologists began to think that way. We should never forget that ideas in science often come from unexpected quarters. Focusing funding on research into human cancer would miss profound insights deriving from plant scientists.”

“The why, it turned out, was hiding in the quantum realm — a place geophysicists rarely tread. Likewise, most quantum physicists don't generally tackle the mysteries of geophysical fluids. But Marston was an exception.”

> The aim is not to produce transdisciplinary problem-solving experts, but rather to produce graduates who know enough about what is required for transdisciplinary problem solving to be able to effectively contribute their disciplinary and other expertise to it, and who can continue to build their ability to contribute over their careers. This requires a combination of content knowledge and practical experience in each characteristic, and there is a wide range of possible contexts and pedagogies for delivering these.

Other than institutional, methodological and conceptual barriers, researchers engaging in #transdisciplinary #research often lack a sense of #community and connectedness. This is why through our webinar series - the Pathways Forum - we strive to create safe spaces for researchers to exchange views and practices, fostering #collaboration and mutual learning.
