Prof. Paul Salmon presenting about AI risks today.
Here's one of Paul's recent articles on the topic in The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/nobody-wants-to-talk-about-ai-safety-instead-they-cling-to-5-comforting-myths-249489
Taught me the term "Slopocene"! 😆
And we're off!
Already well into our first day's morning workshops at the beautiful UniSC Moreton Bay campus.
Notably, Python and R beginners spreading their programming butterfly wings.
3 days left to get your ticket for ResBaz QLD!
Want to learn more about e-research, #OpenSource tools, machine learning, #HPC, #dataViz, digital humanities and even some soft skills to survive Academia?
There will also be #RStats and #Python workshops.
Run by a team of volunteers from south-east Queensland universities, Research Bazaar (ResBaz for short) is a skill- and community-building festival where students and researchers come together to learn the latest in digital research tools and digital scholarship.
Very proud of, and sad for, our friends at @thecarpentries for turning down a $1.5M #NSF grant rather than abandon their values. The (illegal) demands that they abandon DEI work were fundamentally at odds with their mission, and they made a hard and principled choice.

In September 2024, The Carpentries submitted a proposal to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) Program. This project would position The Carpentries as a leading open source ecosystem and further solidify our independence as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation. Developing a proposal of this magnitude (1.5 million USD) involved a significant amount of preparation, from conceptualisation of the idea to navigating the complex submission process. It was the first time The Carpentries did it on our own, with our Associate Director, Erin Becker, leading as principal investigator.
One week left to book your ticket to ResBaz QLD 2025!
Our keynote speaker for the 3rd of July is Alise Fox, Senior Fisheries Scientist at the QLD Department of Primary Industries.
Title of her talk:
"Not Knowing Is a Feature, Not a Bug"
