Dear scientists, especially the R-community:
The NZ government wants to scrap all soc social sciences and humanities. 🤯
I probably don't have to explain why this is a totally bonkers milei-ish idea. (maybe just add the detail that Māori researchers will be overproportionally affected by these budget cuts, but this is probably anyway a feature of the plan)
I address the #RStats community explicitely, since R was developed in Aotearoa. And here in the Fediverse we are *many* R nerds!
So, Kieran Healy (npub14dz…3tma) or other kiwis, is there something the international academic community could do to express our thoughts and support your struggle?
