We are looking for #PhDs and #Postdocs, who want to share their exciting #ChemBio research with a broad audience!

If you are interested, apply with a short abstract for a Flash Talk at the 6th Virtual ChemBioTalks on September 29th.

Fancy #Antarctic mini-doco on our 2024 #RossSea voyage with the Italian team aboard their Laura Bassi icebreaker who have worked the region for decades. The younger scientists aboard built collaborations that will last years -IF- we can support these young researchers and all their energy and ideas. See if you can spot who was interviewed after nearly 2 months at sea vs those back on shore 🤔 #climate #science #ECR The majority of the vid was by the wonderful #LanaYoung who is now in the UK.

Voyage to the Ross Sea, Antarctica - monitoring a rapidly changing environment

One of my fears of homelabbing is the reliance on (3rd party) #Docker/#container images that could just be gone someday. I've already had it happen once, with #Bitnami images (fuck #Broadcom).

One way I previously thought to combat this is to manually pull the image bundle and host it in your own container registry. This works, but obviously not a reasonable effort to do and reproduce for more than ~1-2 images.

Then, the moment I discovered
#Amazon/#AWS has such a thing that addresses this - pull through cache for their #ECR, I looked up on how I can have the same kind of setup on my #homelab, and sure enough, there are already several options. I went with #Zot, and it's working pretty freaking well. Now, anytime I pull any images from registries I've configured Zot to sync like #GitHub's ghcr.io, docker.io, public.ecr.aws, they'll all be pulled/cached first on my own Zot instance and stored for good there.

Man, I wish I looked into this much earlier - but better late than never.

Good discussion at our #HealthSciences #PGR coffee morning about #authorship, especially when publishing with supervisors or larger teams.

I used this recent paper to create a space for sharing experience and practice:

Update. This article in Nature makes the case that reusing #OpenData for new purposes is a good solution for "cash-strapped and early-career researchers" who don't have the means to generate their own.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00434-x

True enough. But it undervalues the utility of past data for all relevant new projects, even well-funded new projects. The present thread gives some examples. Open data are not only, and not even primarily, for the indigent. They're for the savvy, those who notice their relevance, regardless of means.

How I squeeze fresh science from public data

For cash-strapped and early-career researchers, archived data sets can fuel new science.

Despite #EPP and #ECR and other right wing corporate supporters in the #EU, this crisis is showing that #renewable #green energy and #sustainable fertiliser #farming practices are not just ‘hippie’ policies, but necessary for economic independence and security of the EU.

The European "center right" is nothing but three fascists in a trench coat.

The largest party in the E.U. parliament secretly collaborates with the far right while Germany's C.S.U. and C.D.U. still pretend they don't cooperate with the A.F.D.
