We’re chuffed to announce the 0.2 release of the GeoArrow specification! We released the first version in September, 2023 and have since worked with the community towards our vision that getting spatial data from one library to another should be fast, easy, and preserve important spatial properties like the CRS.
ParlĂ© avec un groupe de doctorants Ă©co-conscients Ă  midi. Reflexion de l'un d'eux: "c'est quand mĂȘme triste de rĂ©aliser quand on a Ă  peine 25 ans que rien de ce qu'on va pouvoir faire en recherche dans notre vie ne va changer quoi que ce soit vu que tout le monde s'en fout". #mood
Le microbiote vaginal, l’écosystĂšme trop peu connu qui rĂ©gule la santĂ© des femmes

Cet Ă©cosystĂšme sensible, qui abrite plusieurs milliards de bactĂ©ries assurant sa protection contre des microbes pathogĂšnes, joue un rĂŽle-clĂ© dans plusieurs infections sexuellement transmissibles et est associĂ© Ă  la fertilitĂ© et au bien-ĂȘtre gĂ©nĂ©ral. Sous Ă©tudiĂ©, Ă  cause de tabous persistants autour de la santĂ© gĂ©nitale fĂ©minine et d’un biais masculin encore prĂ©gnant de la recherche, il passionne cependant de plus en plus de spĂ©cialistes ayant conscience des enjeux politiques et sociĂ©taux qui y sont liĂ©s.

I won't be able to kick off work on this until I'm settled in across the ocean, but I've long said that building an academic biology (esp the non-human parts of biology) community here is going to take work.

To that end, who's up for designing and running an accessible online academic conference a la Biotweeps, but using Fediverse tools and innovating formats that fit those tools?

Speak up in the replies, please.

@jaztrophysicist probablement prĂ©monitoire pour le dossier que je suis en train de rĂ©diger. Je me fais chier Ă  traduire en français des trucs que j'avais dĂ©jĂ  rĂ©digĂ©s, et il est prĂ©cisĂ© dans les petites lignes de l'appel d'offre qu'il sera peut-ĂȘtre nĂ©cessaire de fournir une traduction assermentĂ©e 😬 pour l'Ă©valuation.

An absolute GENIUS has put googly eyes on the huge white tube outside of the Pompidou center in Paris. And I am all for it.

UK’s oldest known Oystercatchers discovered on England’s East Coast Wetlands https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/news/oldest-oystercatcher-discovered

"Researchers are celebrating after finding two record-breaking #Oystercatchers within just one month of each other on England’s East Coast #Wetlands. Both #birds are over 40 years old – three times higher than the average lifespan for an #Oystercatcher... Oystercatchers rely on The #WashMudflats for food as they are jam-packed with invertebrates such as ragworms, snails and shellfish."
