Pardon - für dieses Mal sind wir etwas spät dran - für diesen Kanal.

Aber vielleicht haben Sie bei Sina Gantenbrink unter https://www.uni-paderborn.de/person/50540 noch eine verspätete Chance zur Anmeldung.

Also.
Fun fact.

As people might know, I maintain "pypandoc".

But did you know, that 'pypandoc' actually have 2 packages on PyPI?

The regular 'pypandoc' package that people typically install.
And then it also has 'pypandoc_binary' which comes with a version of pandoc packaged - so you can get started right away.

pypandoc_binary, for the first month, just surpassed 1.000.000 downloads in the last 30 days.

That's amazing news.
That means, that the total pypandoc project has been downloaded over 4.500.000 times over the last month.

That's amazing - I'm so honored.

Hello New Folks! #Introduction
I'm Josh. I really like science, biking, canoeing, and cooking. I’m also a Prof of Anthropology & Social Informatics at Indiana University South Bend, principal investigator w/Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA). I work at intersections of people, heritage, tech, & research, love to help folks use data systems more humanely, openly, & equitably. My posts are mine only and do not reflect my employer or organizational affiliations.

Another Monday and publishing is still not fixed: Editorial team at NeuroImage will work with MIT Press to establish new non-profit journal.

“The plain fact is that we don’t need Elsevier – it is a parasitic company that takes the products of science for nothing and then charges the public, and scientists, to buy back access to them”

The publisher claims that APCs of 3450 USD are cheap for the reach and quality of the journal.

So you're making replication files for a simulation paper. You're posting the calibration/rstimation data and the code. Do you post sim output (e.g. CSV with model solutions)?

Would appreciate boosts/replies, I'd like to know what people are doing 🙏

#EconTwitter #rstats #opensci

yes ofc (sim data is data)
52.4%
no (they can run the code)
28.6%
it depends (on what?)

Why we need open data on issues of global concern. Plus a look at the key issues: proactive work by large institutions, formatting for access, and mandates for researchers to share their data.

COVID’s lessons for climate, sustainability and more from Our World in Data

International agencies need the mandate, funds and expertise to connect information — otherwise pandemics, hunger and unsustainability will go unsolved.

It's puzzling to some degree why Chemical Markup Language hasn't had more uptake. It's extensible, very descriptive, and doesn't require fiddly custom parsers. It can be mined for useful information by systems that are completely chemical agnostic, even.
I can only assume that the blame lies with vendors simply wanting to ensure that their voice remains the loudest in the Tower of Babel that passes for cheminformatics standards.
Any other views?
