if there is one paper to read from Ammar's PhD thesis, it is https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-024-03324-x

In this work, he works out how community standards (like minimal reporting standards, open standards, etc) can be included in the whole FAIR approach.

This study formalizes this so that we can even reason over these community standards, see overlap, differences, and link them to use cases. So:

"What standards must I include in my RDM if I want my data to be used for [something]"

FAIR assessment of nanosafety data reusability with community standards - Scientific Data

Nanomaterials hold great promise for improving our society, and it is crucial to understand their effects on biological systems in order to enhance their properties and ensure their safety. However, the lack of consistency in experimental reporting, the absence of universally accepted machine-readable metadata standards, and the challenge of combining such standards hamper the reusability of previously produced data for risk assessment. Fortunately, the research community has responded to these challenges by developing minimum reporting standards that address several of these issues. By converting twelve published minimum reporting standards into a machine-readable representation using FAIR maturity indicators, we have created a machine-friendly approach to annotate and assess datasets’ reusability according to those standards. Furthermore, our NanoSafety Data Reusability Assessment (NSDRA) framework includes a metadata generator web application that can be integrated into experimental data management, and a new web application that can summarize the reusability of nanosafety datasets for one or more subsets of maturity indicators, tailored to specific computational risk assessment use cases. This approach enhances the transparency, communication, and reusability of experimental data and metadata. With this improved FAIR approach, we can facilitate the reuse of nanosafety research for exploration, toxicity prediction, and regulation, thereby advancing the field and benefiting society as a whole.

I am very happy to see already the third of this rare kind discovered only in a few years. Congratulations to the ATLAS Project in Hawaii/Chile/South Africa (https://atlas.fallingstar.com/) for this discovery. Also fascinating to see that this would be a suitable Target for the ESA Comet Interceptor mission (https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Comet_Interceptor), if the timing was right. Looking forward to hopefully more of these interstellar objects to be discovered by the @VRubinObs observatory.

ESA tracks rare interstellar comet

Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of a rare celestial visitor: a comet from beyond our Solar System.Officially named 3I/ATLAS, this newly identified interstellar object is only the third of its kind ever observed, following the famous 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

Help a journalist out? I'm looking to talk to researchers, engineers, students or entrepreneurs who are considering leaving the U.S. because they lost funding or are worried about visas or anything like that. I'm at mimsical.94 on Signal

If anyone knows, I'm betting Mastodon does:
Is there such a thing as a crowd-sourced or open-source or even tourism organization-sourced tourism map? I'm thinking something like Google or Apple maps with a tourism layer, or a wiki type of site with tourism maps of places all over the world. It can be hard to find tourism maps, but I'm finding google and apple seriously lacking for tourism-focused sites and services!
Pls boost for reach.

@ECityMom I think Wikivoyage might fit the bill: https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page

I've used it for city trips around Europe and it's always been at least moderately helpful, even in mid-sized towns.
