Happy PyCon sprint day to all who celebrate! Come join pyOpenSci to:
📚 contribute to our guidebook
🚗 test drive a tutorial
🛠️ help with technical CI (and other challenges)
🔍 even get in there and typo-hunt!
We have ways for everyone of all skill levels to contribute! Plus you'll get to hang out with our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser (ask her about Juno - trust us!)
Some very bad things happened at the Faculty of Archaeology at @universiteitleiden.
The good thing is that the Executive Board of the university decided to be as transparent as possible about this situation. They published the (anonymized) report of the investigating committee, so that everyone in the academic community in Leiden can draw lessons from this situation. Great decision!
As you're planning your time at PyCon US, definitely make time to chat all things community, Python, open source, and open science at the pyOpenSci Open Space!
You'll be able to chat with @leahawasser (and grab some pyOpenSci swag), and connect with the broader pyOpenSci community.
Wow! Thank you to everyone who came to my packaging talk!! I was nervous but it went well!
What's next? We r holding a @pyOpenSci open space tomorrow at 10am in room 309. Thank u @ucodery for grabbing the room . Join us to talk all things community #python#openscience and #opensource
Finally we will hold a one day sprint on Monday. If you want to contribute to our guidebook, test drive a tutorial, or help us with some of our technical ci and other challenges, we welcome u! #pyconus
🧬💡 When’s the best time to upload a manuscript to BioRxiv? Many researchers opt to do so when their paper is under journal review. What’s your strategy? Do you wait for initial peer reviews, or post as soon as you’re ready to share your findings? #Science#AcademicChatter#OpenScience
who in the room is a maintainer ? almost everyone in the room is a maintainer. Who isn't a. maintainer who might want to be a maintainer? no hands raised.... do you aspire to be a maintainer one day? or how did you become a maintainer ? <i became one by mistake - you can learn more in my talk tomorrow morning first thing! #pyconus#python#openscience#opensource
Indeed, for making research data accessible for scrutiny, what we should have instead, is an #openscience infrastructure at every research institution that should be as commonplace and as standard as microscopes or computers:
<<to insist on data. “You have to learn how to be an asshole,” he told MIT Technology Review. “It shouldn’t be this hard.” >>
[conference attendees] "discussed how to persuade the community to view data sharing positively, rather than seeing the demand for it as a sign of distrust. They also brought up the practical challenges of asking graduate students to do even more work by preparing their data for outside scrutiny when it may already take them over five years to complete their degree."
The idea of having a dedicated venue for #OpenScience, akin to Dagstuhl and Oberwolfach, would be amazing, wouldn't it?
We could use this place to create systemic change, allow exhausted researchers to reboot, run hackathons, summer schools, seminars, workshops, or celebrate our achievements in improving the quality of research... 💭
Read more about my daydreaming in this week's newsletter post!
sunpy is not only the package with the most authors (so far!) in the pyOpenSci ecosystem, it’s also a community-developed, free & open-source solar data analysis environment for Python.
sunpy includes an interface for searching & downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames & associated transformations, & more!
Contrary to the misconception that #OpenScience and #patents are not compatible, they co-exist.
Inventors can openly publish the findings after filing a patent application.
In countries like #Korea with a ‘grace period’ for pre-filing disclosures, inventors can publicly share their results even before submitting a patent application. Art. 30 of Korea’s Patent Act allows a 1-year grace period for various disclosures made before filing a patent application.
🙌 PyCon US is finally here, and we can't wait to see you! We've compiled a guide to all of the talks from pyOpenSci community members and friends in our latest post.
💜 And be on the lookout for our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser We know she's got some brand new stickers, as well as a limited edition run of postcards, that she'd love to share.
📸 Be sure to tag us on socials with your pyOpenSci swag!
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to introduce you to another one of our amazing volunteer editors, Alex Batisse!
pyOpenSci Editors:
🔍 find reviewers from diverse backgrounds
👷 oversee the entire review process for a hashtag#Python package
💜 support the submitting authors and reviewers
✅ determine whether a package should be accepted into the pyOpenSci ecosystem
Juno showing off some new pyOpenSci stickers! Be sure to say hi to our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser, at @pycon to grab yours! (And chat all things Python packaging, open source, and open science, of course!)
What if you could build a knowledge graph for #biomedical tasks in weeks or days? BioCypher from Sebastian Lobentanzer makes the process of creating a biomedical knowledge graph easier.
An #opensource, #openscience#Python package, BioCypher is part of the #pyOpenSci ecosystem, and is built around the concept of a “threefold modularity”: modularity of data sources, modularity of structure-giving ontology, and modularity of output formats.
OSSci will be in beautiful Prague this Thursday, May 16. Thanks to the PyData Prague team for putting together a great agenda. 50+ people registered. Please share with your networks.Thanks!

With PyCon US 2024 kicking off next week, we wanted to share this post from our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser, on her experience at PyCon 2023!
Leah will be at PyCon US this year, and we have it on good authority that she's got some brand new #pyOpenSci stickers, and a limited edition run of postcards. Be sure to say hello, and bring all of your pyOpenSci, #opensource, and #openscience questions!
