I don't regret reading All Forms of Homestuck. However now I am seventy meme levels deep, and nobody else wants to come down and talk about it.

I am down to talk about it, but we should find some other place for that due to it not being thread relevant. (unless we want to start classpecting characters or something like that(Mathilde Knight of Void?))

You're right. I'm probably not being super fair to that lab, as I'm not the PI and have no idea what their grant looks like /who is over in the Chem department. From an undergrad student at the time, I was just incapable of being an expert to the bachelor level in mathematics, physics and chemistry at the same time which was what it felt like I needed lol.
I kind of imagined Collaboration as a team built from multi departments in the same building working together. Of course, logistical reality probably means most collaboration happens across hundreds of miles and is much more difficult. Not like a college can just build a new building for every collaborative grant project.
Lucky us, we get to build our own college and have everyone work in the same building rather than play email air hockey ha.
I found out how to check!
[X] Plan: Research, References, and A Sweet Ride
No worries, I meant that as support for your general point.
If I had to boil it down to specific recommendations relevant to the thread, it's either "A dedicated facility/branch for collaboration will pay sufficient dividends even in a modern academic system, let alone the more historic college format" or possibly "Make sure all of the researchers' offices are built into some kind of non-Euclidean maze where they all sit near each other and are forced to interact regularly, because that's the only way to collaborate at maximum efficiency."
Definitely one of those two things.

You know, if we can replicate the Grey College's inter dimensional bullshittery, that might even be possible.we even have a whole load of Waystones around to power it.
"Alright, now that we're finished with the new hire paperwork, I'll lead you to your office. You'll be in room 113 in the B block, so that means you'll be next to... let me see... Runelord Alebeard, Gilathel the Grey Lord, a potted plant that we think is a actually a tree spirit but might just be a regular ficus that we gave an office just in case, the entire contingent from the Gold College, and a halfling that is either practicing unique halfling magic or just really good at smoke rings."
"Next to... all of those?"
"Oh, and Teclis."
"Teclis!?"
"His office just showed up one day, and now none of us can get it to go away."
"..."
"It's really annoying, because that spot used to be a break room."
How long before an Orangutan applies for our head Librarian position?

What are you talking about? Orangutan has always been the head librarian.

Ah, my mistake. The library comes before the orangutan.

Pretty sure that was going to be Cython's job.
He would, too.

What about No Thane's Son?
Speaking of collaboration how likely to you guys think K8P is of getting its own runesmith clan due to this? I mean it is a unique opportunity and the Eye of Gazul is right there showing what you can do with it. I would say quite a lot of radicals and maybe even some not so radical might be inclined to move to the hold if we get more results of that sort.

Dwarves are conservative, runesmiths even more so.
And anyone moving permanently at clan level just because there's a project that takes couple decades feels a bit unlikely.
It is possible though, and i suspect Belegar is going to do his best to lure any runesmiths he can to settle down.

Ya know, the ironic thing is, if we pull this off , compared with our efforts with the Dawi, the We, Kislev and Laurelorn... then , ironically, it could be argued that our greatest feats are actions of diplomacy.
The problem with those sentences is thinking that moving for 2 decades is "moving permanently at a clan level" for a Runesmith, rather than a short research exchange program.

I am quite specifically saying that moving to K8P for couple decades is unlikely to lead to anykind of clan move.
Some runesmiths will move to K8P for the duration of the project, or possibly to Laurelorn, or maybe there will be rotating runemisths, i dunno.
But it is not going to lead to a clan moving to K8P.

Teclis speaking to the camera:
"I call it my office. Honestly, I came here to get away from the White Tower for a bit, grabbed a snack and then decided to slap down a few illusion spells.
Aiming for the longest lunch hour in history, which would be much easier if the bloody dragons hadn't successfully argued that one could have a "power nap" and still have it count as part of the same lunch break."

I suspect that would not be conductive to allowing anyone loan, read, or copy, any of the books inside the library.For the inter-species librarian plan, anyone want to write a job offer for Cython?
Now, preservation, preservation would be all but guaranteed though.

I miss Wildstar...
It occurs to me that if a Library charter (or a part-Library charter) won, BoneyM could be absolutely evil and have Horstmann show up as the most qualified potential librarian.Anyway, after Boney basically blew the major concerns with collaboration out of the water, I also remembered something else that makes it really awesome. Who wants to work with Horstmann on lots of research projects? Because Collaboration sounds like the best way to make that happen.
In-character, it'd be a no-brainer for Mathilde to recruit him. Out of character, we'd all spiral into paranoia because if he turns out to be a cultist, then this is a perfect opportunity for him to implement the sacrifice-rare-tomes-to-Tzeentch part of his canon plan, except worse because the reveal would tank Empire-Dawi relations.
