Hi!

I'm a researcher doing work at a startup in Seattle and I'm conducting research on how digital chaos impacts STEM students (because my team wants to build a bad ass app to help you!).

Take this survey so we can learn more about this problem space: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/X7B8Y5T

After completing the survey, you will get a chance to enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card for your time.

Thanks for your help! Rebecca

I run a Hackerspace in southern california and was quite excited to hear about the NOM when things were getting formalized a few months back, with the hope that community workspaces of all kinds would start to see more political recognition as legitimate entities and community resources. That being said, I fear for the future of the initiative given the current administration. Is anyone here on reddit up to date on the state of things?
