Berlin researchers can now access a central lab and a mobile lab to design and produce research hardware. The BUA mobile lab is on tour, with a first stop at the FU Berlin in June 2025. Dear Berlin researchers, Have you ever heard of makerspaces, 3d printing, or open source research hardware? You may wonder how these concepts are connected with open science and research reproducibility.

In the beginning … … there was a 9-track tape shipped from Bell Labs. S would be installed for “unix”. Extensions could be programmed in Fortran. I started using this around 1985. S REPORT presaged Sweave and knitr: troff, eqn, pic could be interlarded with S computations. Here’s a taste of inputs and outputs for S REPORT.

Two week ago I uploaded a paper that has been in the works for some time. In fact, I first mention it as conference paper for the special issue of the 11th International Conference on Chemical Structures, you know, the meeting held in 2018, of which the 13th edition starts in 7 days. I had a poster at that conference which I described in this blog post.

I spent a couple of days at the National Academy of Sciences in the USA at the invitation of the Royal Society, who held a forum on "Measuring Biodiversity for Addressing the Global Crisis". It was a packed program for those working in evidence-driven conservation: I was honoured to talk about our work on using AI to "connect the dots" between disparate data like the academic literature and remote observations at scale.

The data from the German Library Statistics (DBS) reveals a clear trend: while spending on Closed Access content in university libraries in Germany has remained relatively stable, investments in Open Access have surged dramatically. Please note that not all universities reported all values consistently, making it impossible to quantify the trends with complete precision. However, clear trends can still be identified.

“If something is to stay in the memory, it must be burned in: only that which never ceases to hurt stays in the memory.” Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals Watching the recent Severance season 2 finale “Cold Harbour,” I became increasingly intrigued with the show’s explorations of selfhood and autonomy, whereby the ‘innies’ are […]
