Updates from Form Energy My hot take no one asked for I don’t want to sound pessimistic.

I sip slowly from the information firehose that is my cornucopia of industry newsletters, RSS feeds, and Google Scholar updates on new publications in the flow battery landscape. There’s not enough time to give everything a proper read, and often if I see something useful I just file it away in Zotero for it to collect digital dust.
Funder metadata is becoming more important as the global research infrastructure is engaged as a tool for quantifying impact of funders on research results and as interest in open science increases. Using acronyms in funder names makes it difficult to find identifiers and make the connections that are needed to realize benefits.
Even though I’ve been teaching R and statistical programming since 2017, and despite the fact that I do all sorts of heavily quantitative research, I’m really really bad at probability math .

Some highlights are described here and a recording of the talk is also available.

Im Beitrag Ein neuer Blick auf Open Access: Wissenschaftliches Publizieren aus Sicht des öffentlichen Beschaffungsrechts, beleuchten die Juristen Alfred Früh und Rika Koch ein Thema, dem in der Schweizer Bibliothekswelt bislang viel zu wenig Beachtung zugekommen ist. Wesentliche Teile des Beitrags stammen aus dem swissuniversities-Projekt Regulatory Framework.
I was cleaning out my Downloads directory — which, even after my initial forays, still accounts for 11 Gb that I really need to reclaim from my perptually almost-full SSD. And I found this beautiful image under the filename csgeo4028.jpeg . Brachiosaurus altithorax holotype FMNH PR 25107 during excavation. The thing is, I have no idea where this image came from.
