We're launching a program to get free or heavily discounted Claude usage to scientists, through Claude Teams for Science. If you're a student or researcher in academia or a non profit org, ask your PI to apply. We're starting with 10,000 seats and will expand from there.

@claudeaiAug 27
Starting today, 10,000 scientists across every field, from math to chemistry to physics and more, can get Claude through our new Claude Team plan for scientists. Standard seats are free, and premium seats with 5x usage limits are $15 per month, an 80% discount, for one year. Claude is becoming increasingly capable of scientific work, with recent progress on problems from advanced physics calculations to protein design. Alongside that progress, we've been investing in the research community: Claude Science launched in June, and our AI for Science program funds high-impact projects with free credits. Today's expansion builds on both. Principal investigators (or equivalent) at academic and nonprofit research institutions can sign up, then add the researchers in their group. Over the coming months, we plan to extend the program well beyond the initial 10,000 seats. Learn more: claude.com/programs/team-pla…

Using OpenClaw is basically is like driving your own Ferrari (that you have to be a mechanic for yourself) and it's broken down all the time, but gives you the time of your life vs driving a reliable Honda (Hermes Agent) vs riding the bus (Claude / ChatGPT)

Delighted to present the final report for our DIPLOMA evaluation of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. A true team effort - thanks to everyone who helped along the way TL;DR prevention at scale is viable, with plenty of scope for optimising further journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/h…

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it! After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole of its bus network. 🙌🏻

Several @SipherC colleagues involved in this cool new project on systems science approaches to evaluating 20 minute neighbourhoods - with our funding period approaching the final 6 months, it is great to see SIPHER’s reach and legacy!
Excited to be officially starting on our NIHR-funded OPTIMA project today, 'Orienting Policy Towards Inequality Minimising Actions (OPTIMA): A systems science approach to 20-minute neighbourhood policy and evaluation' ...

📢Delighted our SIPHER Synthetic Population is now available via @UKDataService & thanks to @usociety for their support. Want to explore but don't do coding! No problem we've developed a new 'click and explore' dashboard just for you. Visit: bit.ly/3LiKKLM
Research from @usociety has been used by @SipherC to create a dataset that mimics the adult population in England, Scotland, and Wales, allowing researchers to model the potential impact of health policies. This dataset is now available in our collection: buff.ly/4cYoq65

Illustrates the inequalities people can face due to the wider determinants of health - the building blocks that impact our health & wellbeing (housing, air quality, access to good food, work & education etc.) across society 👇 @BenWealthy1 @juliathrift @dukester24 @DukeStokes
Meet Louis and Lorcan. The differences in their housing, air quality, and access to good food could drastically impact their lives. Watch to find out more and let’s #MakeHealthEqual 👉 healthequals.org.uk/
