On the main screen, the "technology" status bar (upper left) is nice, and I can float my cursor over it, but...why not just show me the number of turns remaining for the tech currently under study? It's inconvenient to move my cursor all around to get statuses, especially on larger screens.
Please just make it work like the status bars showing each colony's current construction project; for example: "Xeno Experimentation (7 turns)"
