Over the past thirty years I have written five technical books,co-written three others,and edited a further six.Since 2007 they have all lived in GitHub repositories,as did the first versions of the Software Carpentry lessons that I helped to write.

Calicheamicin was noted in the previous post as a natural product with antitumour properties and having many weird structural features such as an unusual “enedidyne” motif. The representation is shown below. A partial structure shown below for Calicheamicin replaces the -(CH 2 )4- substructure with a four carbon chain that includes two sp 2 centres instead of two sp 3 centres.
Wollen wissenschaftliche Autor*innen Open Access veröffentlichen, ist ihnen häufig unklar, ob dies mit einem vorher geschlossenen Wahrnehmungsvertrag bei der VG Wort vereinbar ist. Eine neue Handreichung von Berlin Universities Publishing klärt die grundlegende Fragen, ob und welche Konflikte hierbei entstehen können.
It is a measure of how scattershot our blogging is that we haven’t mentioned Adam Mastroianni or his blog Experimental History before now.
US federal policies are transforming research accessibility. Learn how the Holdren and Nelson memos are shaping open access and the NSF's implementation.
I have recently started to move my personal code repositories away from GitHub, in favor of hosting them with a smaller, independent and collectively managed alternative - including for this static website. In the same spirit, I was also interested in whether I could be doing my small part to diversify my overall web hosting approach.
As part of our work documenting R-Universe,we’re adding screenshots of the interface to the documentation website.Taking screenshots manually could quickly become very cumbersome, especially as we expect they’ll need updating in future: we might want to change the universes we feature, the interface might improve yet again and therefore look slightly different.Therefore, we decided to opt for a programmatic approach.In this post we shall present
I have said I wasn’t going to attempt to teach an entire graduate course on galaxy dynamics in this forum, and I’m not. But I can give some pointers for those who want to try it for themselves. It also provides some useful context for fans of Deur’s approach. The go-to textbook for this topic is Galactic Dynamics by Binney & Tremaine.
Preregistration Distinguishes Between Exploratory and Confirmatory Research? Previous justifications for preregistration have focused on the distinction between “exploratory” and “confirmatory” research. However, as I discuss in this recent presentation, this distinction faces unresolved questions.
I first had this thought in 2019, and I started this draft in early 2020, but…you know how that particular story turned out. I’m picking it back up again now because I’ve had the titular point reinforced on several trips and projects over the past couple of years. And because I think it’s ultimately a hopeful message. If you are interested in making anatomical discoveries, good!
