1/8 🚀 Introducing Althea, a purpose-built Infrastructure platform and #blockchain, enabling the coordination of multi-stakeholder networks and machine<>machine payments. Its design focuses on eliminating the highly centralized structure of telecom and legacy systems.
2/8 Connected to #Althea, @gravity_bridge enables distributed bandwidth networks to use #stablecoins on Althea’s sovereign chain, ensuring telecom-level reliability and seamless UX 🚀 It also enables interoperability within other #Cosmos blockchains via IBC 🔗.
3/8 🛠 With the #EVM integration for builders, Althea is providing a bridge between the #Ethereum ecosystem and its own unique infrastructure, making it easier for developers to build and deploy decentralized
applications and services on the Althea blockchain. 💻

Did you know decentralized wireless, also known as DeWi, is revolutionizing the way we connect to the internet?

Here are 8 reasons why #DeWi is the future of telecommunications 👇
1. Increased security 🔒

With no central point of control, there are fewer attack vectors for hackers to exploit. This means your data is much safer on a decentralized network.
2. Greater resilience 💪

If a node in a decentralized network goes offline, the network continues to function as the data is stored and distributed among other nodes.

Pakistan's internet connectivity 📶 is facing some bumps in the road, and it seems like letters of credit 📜 may be partially to blame.

Read 🧵 below 👇
According to a recent report, the Universal Service Fund (USF) has encountered problems importing telecom machinery📱due to the lack of LCs, and the Senate is taking steps to address the issue.
On a brighter note, the PTA is working on an international internet project 💻 and has assured the Senate that efforts are being made to improve internet accessibility in Balochistan's Gwadar.

@MichelTdS and I wrote a #review on the last decade of #brain #connectivity #research for a special issue in @ScienceMagazine : 'circuits create networks by stringing together many brain regions to orchestrate brain symphony conducted by finely attuned connections.' A 🧵
First things first, the #cover shows that the corpus callosum has different axonal calibres, as shown in a cross-section of the axons. Warmer colours (red-yellow) indicate thicker axons. These finely attuned connections allow for the perfect orchestration of the brain symphony.
There is a growing consensus: functions are an emerging property of the interaction between brain areas. Function-specific brain activity involves the integrative effort of several brain regions. White matter connections support this integration by interconnecting brain regions

#telecommunications #infrastructure ownership is something we're going to have to somehow find a nice balance in, particularly for #submarinecables, our primary means of trans-oceanic digital communications. 🧵1/
On the one hand, it's great for #DigitalDevelopment and #digital #connectivity that more telco infra is going in. But infrastructure is expensive... 2/
So some telcos want content providers (big tech like Facebook and Google) to share the cost, which makes sense if content makes up a big chunk of the internet traffic. 🗞️🔗👉Platform content makes up 55% of internet traffic in #France #Italy #Spain. 3/ reuters.com/business/media…

We are LIVE tweeting the Raisina AMA with @DrSJaishankar and @samirsaran

Stay tuned for updates!

Watch it LIVE here:

#Raisina2022 #RaisinaDialogue @MEAIndia
.@DrSJaishankar: Three things keep me up at night — the shocks that the international order is experiencing, particularly in the past two years—the #COVID19 pandemic, #Afghanistan & #Ukraine, & the friction between the #West & #Russia, the #USA and #China

#Raisina2022 @MEAIndia
.@DrSJaishankar: You need to develop an operational matrix to respond to a changing world. In our case, especially since 2014-15, we have had greater clarity on how we engage the world—concentric circles, neighbourhood first, but also a conscious policy engaging the major powers.

Below is a long-ish thread🧵for some context to this amazing meme from @DrArialShogren and @thats_me_del_p.

TL;DR -- Our words matter. They shape and bias our understanding of the systems we study.

[1/n]
First -- I'm blessed to have great colleagues @UaDeptBSC who put up with my shenanigans.

This conversation started with me giving @thats_me_del_p a hard time about a small grant proposal. The title mentioned "drivers of intermittence."

[2/n] Image
I'm not a big fan of umbrella terms like #sustainability, #connectivity, and now #intermittence.

In #interdisciplinary teams, negotiating a common language is difficult. I actually think its often MORE difficult when we share common terms with slightly diverging definitions

How do we steward #forests & #borderlands in a time of human upheaval & migration? Not by building border walls. Our letter @ScienceMagazine about how Poland’s planned wall would threaten transboundary #Białowieża Forest @MZmihorski @UNESCO @BonnConvention science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Transboundary frontiers are an emerging conservation priority as they often overlap #biodiversity hotspots & are threatened by construction of border infrastructure. Neighboring countries must co-steward wildlife that cross manmade lines @EcologyJiajia sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
We know from research on the US-Mexico border that walls do not deter people but do impede wildlife, including low-flying birds like pygmy owls. Barriers are an increasing global trend that fragment #connectivity of habitats & populations @ljevanso academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…

Well, breaking news will now keep coming every day ahead of #COP26 but this one could have MASSIVE implications for global energy markets & #fossilfuel demand: #China announces first details of its carbon neutrality framework aiming at #netzero by 2060 1/5 gov.cn/zhengce/2021-1…
The document introduces several consumption "peaks": peak #coal by 2025, peak #oil during the 15th 5-yr plan (2026-2030). Food for thought for #China's largest oil suppliers #SaudiArabia, #Russia, #Iraq, #Angola, #Brazil; and coal suppliers #Russia, #Indonesia, #Australia. 2/5
Energy #efficiency is one of the highest priorities. 2025 target is to reduce energy intensity of GDP by 13.5% compared to 2020 (note, the baseline is the COVID year)! New standards and certification to be introduced for #steel & other energy-intensive industries. 3/5

Pumped to share our latest publication @SciReports Identifying structural #connectivity priorities in eastern Paraguay’s fragmented Atlantic Forest @ChicagoState @FieldMuseum @RhodesCollege @TexasTech researchgate.net/publication/35… ImageImageImage
Less than one-third of the region is forested, and the remaining forest largely consists of isolated remnants with
potentially disrupted connectivity for forest fauna.
We used a graph theory approach to identify those
forest remnants that are important in maintaining landscape structural connectivity for mammals
in this fragmented forest.

With the Three Seas Initiative summit approaching, it's high time for a recap on why 12 CEE nations joined efforts to develop #Connectivity, and why 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇨🇳 got so interested in it

Here's a thread on the main points of our latest @PIE_NET_PL report on #3SI [link at the end]

1/
3SI is a political platform of 12 EU states, aimed at developing intra-regional connectivity (transport, energy, digital, people), complementing existing EU frameworks. It's got its own investment fund, got high-level 🇺🇸🇩🇪 endorsements etc. (find more details in our report)

2/
CEE was the fastest growing EU region after the 2004 enlargement. 3SI's share in EU GDP rose from 15,2% to 19,2%. With a flood of FDIs, it became EU's industrial backbone, esp. crucial for Germany (the 3SI region generates 19,8% of 🇩🇪's trade, more than any major partner)
