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

Our work in a research article in Sustainability (MDPI) about Climate Bonus (#Klimabonus) has achieved more than 100.000 views after two years!

So proud that our work on #climatemitigation responses well in the scientific community. We need more #transdisciplinary work as collaboration between #researchers and practicioners.

MDPICreating Monetary Collaborative Spaces for Social and Ecological TransformationComplementary currencies have spread to many places around the world at the beginning of the 21st century. Creating sustainable economic cycles and short transport routes are often the goals of introducing them. Due to their manageability, regional currencies can be embedded in debates of regional economics and sustainability. Above all, they are suitable for democratic experiments that can show in real environments whether currency designs work as examples of collaborative communities and research. One of these monetary experiments is the climate bonus, which is linked to the local currency Chiemgauer. The research path goes into the daily routine of a real laboratory to find out which methods would be effective enough to deliver carbon savings. The climate bonus creates a monetary network where people can try out new behaviors in a protected space. As a result, three years after the initiation of the project, carbon reductions are above expectations.

How is #transdisciplinary research designed? Based on previous work on real experiments by Gross and others, the #research path begins with analyzing the boundary conditions and then to bring together people who want to solve a #transformative challenge. Together knowlede is generated. In the case of the #Chiemgauer curency we had a look at the statistics and the current situation. Then we had three open workshops with the result to start a project with an #climate incentive.

I never properly introduced myself here. So here goes...I am trained in the #history of the #18thcentury with work examining the intersection of #arthistory, #histsci, & society. In recent years, my work has focused on #transdisciplinary scholarship on the environment--specifically, the #Anthropocene.

As Dir. of the IUPUI Arts & Humanities Institute, I direct three research projects: The Anthropocenes Network, the Cultural Ecologies Project, & The COVID-19 Oral History Project. 1/3
