"so ahh- ha ha-- yeah. I know I have a bit of a bad reputation among you insect-folk but um... I kinda need a little help with pollination now? A listen-- this new me has nothing to do with that old me. Promise! So. If some of you bees, or flies... or even ants could just stop by and help out..."

Next week, CERN and NASA will be hosting an open science summit on ‘Accelerating the Adoption of Open Science.’ The overall goal of the event is to engage a range of relevant stakeholders in the physical sciences to actively exchange experiences, ideas, and expertise toward promoting open science policies and practices.

The Carpentries turns 25 years old on July 24th 2023! 🎉🎈

We have curated a series of #Carpentries25 activities over the coming months to celebrate this milestone, starting with a Launch Event on July 24. Read on these plans and on how you can get involved in celebrating with us: https://carpentries.org/blog/2023/07/carpentries25-campaign-announcement/

i love how when it comes 2 computery things there are all these complicated algorithms & methods to get the computer 2 come up w a (pseudo)random number & it’s all just bc a computer doesnt have even a single dumb hand 2 roll some dice with

Here’s a story we all can rally behind. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a method to trick cancer cells into self-destructing. Zenger tells us how.

Greetings.

A Pinky & Brain spin-off for grown ups that always starts with them sitting tired at coffee in the morning:

Pinky: "What are we going to do tonight?"
Brain: "Same thing we do every night. Try to go to bed early"

And then the whole episode is just about how stuff comes up and prevents them from going to bed early.

Just moderated a fascinating panel discussion on the FAIR principles for research software, as part of the Software Sustainability Research Software Camp (https://software.ac.uk/RSC-fair-software?_ga=2.233603673.678528909.1685602100-2064806640.1685602100).

FAIR is not a magic wand, but the principles provided the perfect background and context to cover a wide variety of topcis, including software management plans, software sustainability, recognition and rewards, team work and collaboration, training and skills, openness and reproducibility.

"“OpenAI repeatedly argued to European officials that the forthcoming AI Act should not consider its general purpose AI systems…to be “high risk,” a designation that would subject them to stringent legal requirements including transparency, traceability, and human oversight."

Oohh noooz our stuff is so strong it might render humanity extinct.

But also no no our stuff shouldn’t be classified “high risk.”

For anyone who lacks the advanced level of age I mean experience some of us have, you should read this Wikipedia page on Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish

I guarantee this is the goal of Meta joining the fediverse

One thing I own which is cool as hell is a vibrating reed based tachometer.

Lots and lots of tiny reeds, each tuned for a specific frequency. Place it on a piece of equipment, and the reeds start to vibrate if they're the same frequency as the equipment.

Our #SciComp/ #HPC kickstart course finished, all videos are already available. This is an overwhelming amount of information which not everyone can absorb, so hopefully the videos will help our participants far into the future. #RSeng
