The french-german “La suite numerique”/Opendesk ( @zendis) seems to become a real alternative to Sharepoint/Google Docs for collaborative writing of proposals/manuscripts.

Especially the docs application (https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/docs) seems to provide the key features (live-collaboration, markdown, UI that works for
non-technical people, export to .md, pdf, docx).

Nurse Egee’s Visual & Hearing Exam!

https://youtu.be/3XH9P3Y5cmw Hello Flufferschnoots! I thought you might enjoy a relaxing vision and hearing exam from the one and only Nurse Egee. I produced this last month in August and it came from a whim. Hospital scrubs showed up in my shopping listing and I though "heh, I bet I could play Nurse Egee in a video..." This roleplay was meant to be more of a "Cranial Nerve Exam" but I went a little overboard with it. Hope you enjoy this roleplay! If you'd like to support me in my […]

Nurse Egee Will See You Now! Re-Release

Hey Egee fans, guess who’s returned from the archives? I was able to find all three episodes of the OG Nurse Egee mini-series before he shipped off to KG-348 to become Sevastopol Egee.

🎨🖋️ Ah, the timeless quest for the "perfect" font in #LaTeX, as if tweaking Palatino will finally get your paper accepted by Nature. 😂 Spoiler: no one cares about your font choice, just use Comic Sans and call it a day. 🕵️‍♂️✨

"The EQUATOR executive supports the practice of #DataSharing when reporting all research.
Data sharing is important and should be a checklist item in all reporting guidelines."

This is only from the highlights section of [https://www.bmj.com/content/386/bmj-2024-079694], the full text is even better.

Reporting on data sharing: executive position of the EQUATOR Network

The EQUATOR (Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of health Research) Network supports the practice of data sharing, and the reporting of data management and sharing plans, in all reports of biomedical research. Both practices should be included as checklist items when developing new or updating reporting guidelines. More focus should be given to structuring and standardising data management and sharing plans to help provide a similar impact as reporting guidelines. In 2006, the late Doug Altman, from the Centre for Statistics in Medicine, University of Oxford, and colleagues, established the first EQUATOR (Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of health Research) Centre. As of February 2024, EQUATOR is a network comprising five centres (Australasia, Canada, China, France, and the UK) and an executive group. The remit of EQUATOR is “to achieve accurate, complete, and transparent reporting of all health research studies to support research reproducibility and usefulness.”1 While EQUATOR offers several toolkits and other resources to help researchers achieve transparency in reporting their research, the most recognised feature is the open online library of reporting guidelines.2 ### Summary points In 2010 EQUATOR proposed a working definition of a reporting guideline as “a checklist, flow diagram, or explicit text to guide authors in reporting a specific type of research, developed using explicit methodology.”3 The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist is a prime example of …
