While I personally stopped tweeting in May, it was clear that now was the time for Flipboard to stop tweeting as well.

This is a sad outcome given that Twitter was the platform we got started on in 2010 and I was a board member there with Jack, Ev and Dick. But that Twitter is gone now. And the future is the open social web.

"The German government has launched a new Open Source software project called openDesk, which aims to reduce the country’s dependency on proprietary software vendors and support transparency and interoperability.

openDesk is a collection of #OpenSource software modules that are important for day-to-day work in the public sector, such as text creation, file collaboration, project management, email, calendar and messaging."

AITA, academic publishing edition.

Journal sends a review back to me because as reviewer I did not run the code and replicate the results.

My reply: "As an unpaid anonymous peer reviewer who handles probably 30 manuscripts a year, I am absolutely not in the position of running and evaluating code any more than I am in the position of running gels to evaluate lab results. If this is important to you, I suspect you can find a consultant who will do it at a reasonable rate."

Am I the asshole?

Almost ready for #HUPO2023 after a long trip to Busan.

I'm looking forward to chair the #ComputationalProteomics/#Bioinformatics pre-conference training session tomorrow morning (Sunday Sept 17, 9:00–12:00), together with an all-star team. Meet us there!
