La gestión de eventos en la investigación digital es clave, continuamente tengo que asistir a actividades académicas como cursos, talleres, seminarios, conferencias, clubs de lectura. Generalmente me restrinjo a los que son en línea por videoconferencias, y me entero de ellos por medio de mis alertas de correo, RSS o por Mastodon, a algunos asisto de manera simultánea, otros los veo en video por medio de las grabaciones.

New publication from Linda Berube’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (City HCID/British Library) in New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia.

El monumento del Bicentenario (Tucumán,2016). Parte 2 por Tamara Judith Yedlin La decisión de construir un monumento en el contexto de los festejos del Bicentenario de la Independencia (2016) implica preguntarse por las intervenciones en el espacio público que despliega el poder político, las que inciden en las disputas simbólicas en torno al sentido de la conmemoración y sus proyecciones en el tiempo presente.

In the last blog post, I had mentioned that I was looking to move away some of my personal code hosting away from GitHub (GH), to avoid being locked in into yet another tech giant. Instead, I wanted to move to a proper free alternative. On Mastodon, lots of folks recommended checking out Codeberg as a potential alternative that is based on forgejo and provides static page hosting.

We just published a dataset of canopy tree maps for 100 million trees in the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) with information on location, species identify, size, and whether the tree is alive.

Back in our annus mirabilis of 2013, one of the Wedel-and-Taylor papers was Neural spine bifurcation in sauropod dinosaurs of the Morrison Formation: ontogenetic and phylogenetic implications (Wedel and Taylor 2013). We this published in PalArch’s Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology , which we chose because it was a small, open-access journal in our field that was obviously mission-driven and did not charge an APC.

Persistente Identifier in Forschungsinformationssystemen Forschungsinformationssysteme (FIS) sind zentrale Instrumente für die Verwaltung und Analyse von Forschungsaktivitäten an Hochschulen. Eine wesentliche Komponente dieser Systeme sind Identifier, die eine eindeutige Identifikation von Informationsobjekten ermöglichen.

Opening a Cabinet of Curiosities in Montreal Readers of this blog must know every summer the GigaScience Press team gathers at the ISMB (International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology) conference, where the great and good of computational biology gather for the largest bioinformatics conference of the year.

About a year ago I started migrating my blogger.com blog to a git-version-controlled, Markdown-based blogging platform. I have to say, it has been a happy year. It actually is awesome to port old blog posts (follow that here) and to see what I have been working on some 17, 18 years ago. I do have a nasty bug to fix that causes the conversion of the Markdown to HTML is scaling badly.
