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, nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqwkyrr4pnk5chvzjp4y64fjfu3xtv9c7al4sryyvy9244a5h87s2qqztm70 (nprofile…tm70) or other kiwis, is there something the international academic community could do to express our thoughts and support your struggle?
