Hello everyone 👋 ! We have been on Mastodon for a while but recently moved instances to hachyderm so wanted to provide an #introduction. We are an international organisation teaching foundational #coding and #DataScience skills to #researchers worldwide. We advocate for #OpenScience#OpenSource practices through workshops using our openly available lessons co-developed by our global community. More information: carpentries.org. Excited to be here; thank you for having us!
Israeli air strike in #Gaza kills prominent scientist Sufyan Tayeh
Prof. Tayeh was ranked among the top 2% of #researchers globally & was appointed #UNESCO Chair for Physical and Astrophysical Sciences in #Palestine

'Negotiations' for the UK to rejoin the #Horizon research programme continue.... #JeremyHunt's in #Brussels trying (again) to get a discount because we've missed the first two years of the new programme.
Problem is that we caused that delay not the EU, and the feeling at the #EuropeanCommision is that they're not going to offer a discount because the UK can't get its ducks in a row.
Meanwhile #universities are hemorrhaging #researchers departing for somewhere they can get Horizon money now!
#Researchers propose that a taste for #fermented morsels may have triggered a surprising jump in the growth rate of our ancestors' #brains.
In fact, a shift from a #RawDiet to one that included #food items already partially broken down by #microbes may have been a crucial event in our brain's #evolution, according to a perspective #study by evolutionary #neuroscientist Katherine Bryant of Aix-Marseille University in France and two US colleagues.
Seeing a former #master's #student presenting her #thesis as best thesis (https://github.com/PostElefant/master-thesis) at a prestigious conference makes me proud.
Investing into #young#researchers always pays off. In multiple ways. And supervision is so much more than providing a topic and grading the result. It is ultimately about coaching, encouraging and learning.
What are your experiences and attitudes towards supervision?
Orchids Mosses & Ferns—or epiphytes are crucial for Earth’s #biodiversity and play essential roles in #forests around the world. Yet, even those are now under increasing threat via human caused disturbances.
#Researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) hope to better understand intricate #mechanisms behind the evolution of #galaxies, which travel through a "#cosmicweb" of different environments during their lifespans.
I am recruiting #clinicians and #researchers to be occasional #betareaders of medically-inclined #shortstories that often get published by Physician's Weekly. I will from time to time ask for technical input on the life of healthcare workers, or to read a story to make sure the clinical and healthcare worker experiences are realistic
There is, sadly, no money in it, but you do get an option to be in a story, or to nominate a victim
In a new paper, #researchers propose that the #dynamics of #rotatingblackholes is constrained by the principle of #gaugesymmetry, which suggests that some changes of parameters of a physical system would have no measurable effect.
Having started in Europe, #eduroam - the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international #research & #education community - is now available in 104 territories worldwide and emerging pilot locations!
Deaf toddler can hear after world-first gene #therapy
A #British toddler who was born deaf has had her hearing restored by groundbreaking gene therapy. #Researchers say it marks a new era in the #treatment of #deafness.
Question for other #researchers and #ResearchSoftwareEngineers - if you are submitting supplementary materials to a conference, such as a #github or @huggingface repo, how do you anonymize the repo so that the name of the repo or the repo owner does not violate the anonymity requirements?
