Decided to do a fun #StarTrek thing.
Presenting the Star Trek TV theme bracket!
Vote for your favourite theme music from all the currently released Star Trek TV Shows. (Maybe we'll do movies another time)
This thread will have all the votes for Round 1.
I couldn't decide how to seed it, so I randomised the seeds.
Here is the bracket.

Why we think every scholarly organization, but in particular scholarly societies, should not just migrate to #Mastodon, but host their own instances - and what that has to do with the journals many scholarly societies use to generate revenue:

Loved this bit:

Can't express how much I agree with many of the sentiments expressed here.
I like this line: "I was lucky enough to have a terrific advisor who taught me a ton, but that's pretty rareโplenty of people spend years of their PhD just waiting for their boss to respond to an email. So if your scientific education is mostly DIY, well, so is everyoneโs."

in reply to May Keable ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ • • •So the random seeding gave us a fascinating bracket.
Although Picard got 3 themes, all three have been matched up against a heavyweight classic series.
Season 3 Vs Voyager is interesting because it uses elements of one of the movie themes that was the basis for Voyager's.
May Keable ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
in reply to May Keable ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ • • •TOS Vs TAS might end up being a bitter fight.
As will the newer series Discovery Vs Strange New Worlds. I think that'll end up being a close one.
And hilariously the most controversial theme, Enterprise, ended up with a BYE and automatic qualification into the Quarter Finals.
