From your website I assume you're in the US. You could contact the Mars Society. They run analog research missions. Not with spacecraft, but with habitats, rovers, equipment (operated by "astronauts"). You could design and te

I'd like to mention that a good part of my (professional) social network switches to retroshare. And I'm forced to go with them if I want to stay in touch. :)

Ask friendly whether the whole table is booked and sit down. If they don't respond, just move their bag a bit and sit down. Keep looking friendly and relaxed, signal that you're not a threat and everything's usually fine. It

Looking at Plexon's GUI this doesn't seem to be something done in a hackathon and requires active participation of neuroscientists as domain experts and as end users to develop. And they usually don't have time (or willingnes

And there are Biopython, Biohaskell etc., but from what I saw there this is more about bioinformatics (e.g., focus on gene sequencing). I don't know whether those are the problems the parent was talking about. From my experience (inter

I won't dig out examples, but I'd like to sketch the general game: You need to have a good publication record (i.e., papers in journals and conference proceedings, some monographs with a prestigious publisher can also help). When

Regarding your 2nd paragraph: That sounds true. What we need are science & engineering startups and AI/ML/robotics and some formal methods and crypto applied to those fields. Are you interested?
