The two previous posts, on the topic of anomeric effects in 7-membered sulfur rings illustrated how orbital interactions between the lone pairs in the molecules and S-S bonds produced widely varying S-S bond lengths in the molecules, some are shorter than normal (which is ~2.05Å for e.g. the S8 ring) by ~ 0.1Å and some […]
I know you are conditioned to think that what you are researching has to be novel. But let’s think about it for a second.
In a climate of funding uncertainty, what if the most cost-effective investments in global health weren’t about supplies or infrastructure, but human networks that turn learning into action? In this short review article, we explore how peer learning networks that connect human beings to learn from and support each other can transform health outcomes with minimal resources.
Josh Millar has just released the latest survey paper he lead on energy-aware approaches to optimise deep-learning training and inference on embedded devices, such as those benchmarked in "Benchmarking Ultra-Low-Power µNPUs" recently. Any comments, please do let any of us know!
El camino recorrido por su nieta Josefa por Ana Mónica Gonzalez Fasani París. Esa noche del 13 de diciembre de 1832 estaba helando; las calles, casi vacías debido al viento y la nieve que comenzaba a acumularse.
Last week I released updated Python, and Go versions of the commonmeta library that can now read metadata from OpenAlex. OpenAlex is an open index of over 250 million scholarly works from 250k sources.
Anmerkung zu dieser Rubrik: Das Open Research Office Berlin erstellt monatlich eine Übersicht über Termine und Veranstaltungen zu Open Access und Open Research in Berlin bzw. an Berliner Einrichtungen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf unseren Partnereinrichtungen und auf Veranstaltungen, die sich an die Öffentlichkeit richten bzw. die offen sind für Angehörige der Wissenschafts- und Kulturerbeeinrichtungen in Berlin.
Speaking of the digitization of objects, the German Europa stamp 2025 was issued on 8 May 2025. Europa stamps have been issued since 1956 as a symbol of the European community, at that time by the post offices of the 6 founding members of the ECSC. A strong signal, so soon after the devastating war! Since 1974, country-specific stamps have been issued under a common theme instead of a common stamp.
In March 2025, shortly after returning to the United States from Romania, where he and his brother Tristan had been held under house arrest for two years after being charged with human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal group to sexually exploit women, the social media influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate’s podcast, Pimping H**s Degree was removed from Spotify for violating that platform’s policies.
Im Jahr 2024 unterstützte der Publikationsfonds des Landes Brandenburg Open-Access-Publikationen von Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen. Diese Titel repräsentieren eine breite Palette von Disziplinen und sind Zeugnis der vielfältigen Forschungslandschaft des Landes. Zurzeit bringen wir Ihnen einige dieser Veröffentlichungen in unserem Blog näher.
In the spirit of learning in public, I wanted an excuse to dive into Quarto to learn more about publishing formats beyond simple PDF and HTML documents. If you’re not familiar, Quarto (quarto.org) is the successor to RMarkdown, the next-generation scientific publishing system that works natively with Python, R, and OJS. If you already have RMarkdown you probably don’t have to do anything to it to get it to render with Quarto.
