Keynote FAIR for Maschine learning building on the Lessons from FAIR Software by Fotis E Psomopoulos

It's pretty clear that tools such as github pages and quarto are not generating pages that are accessible (accessible in the sense of making it easier for people with visual impairments). Any ideas why this is not a priority for developers? There is a point when European law will star being enforced and then there'll be a swing back to using powerpoint which does a better job here.

Do you have a great idea to make scientific software better & want to share it with the community? Are you affiliated with a US-based institution that can receive federal funding?

Apply now for the 2024 Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellowship Program (until 29 Sep 2023), to get $25k for activities that promote better scientific software through a publicly-available artifact

This supports all career stages & especially seeks those from underrepresented groups

Read this from @alex and @emilymbender.
“AI-related policy must be science-driven and built on relevant research, but too many AI publications come from corporate labs or from academic groups that receive disproportionate industry funding. Much is junk science—it is nonreproducible, hides behind trade secrecy, is full of hype and uses evaluation methods that lack construct validity….”

@Ka_Heil presenting the @ELIXIREurope #Training platform #ELIXIR23. It's one of the most positive, enthusiastic and active communities of like-minded people! Really proud to be a member, and for the opportunity to co-lead the efforts together with @jessicalindvall @EvaAlloza 🙏💯

@NBlomberg giving a perspective on the strong and vibrant Community spirit of @ELIXIREurope across time #ELIXIR23. "It's the people that matter" is the key message; communicating, having a common understanding of the challenges, and ultimately building the future together.

@denshields giving a "tour" of the structure, goals and vision of the ELIXIR-IE Node @ELIXIREurope #ELIXIR23. Really happy to see #Training, #ResearchSoftware and #MachineLearning featuring there! Looking forward to (even more) interactions with the community here.

Almost at the end of the 3,000km trek to this year's @ELIXIREurope All Hand Meeting in Dublin. Really looking forward to the next 4 days and all the discussions around #Trainibg, #ResearchSoftware, #MachineLearning and #Biodiversity! Stay tuned! ;) #ELIXIR23 👀

Want to get started with #SoftwareCitation but don't know how?

@abelsiqueira from the @eScienceCenter has created a great video that walks you through creating a CITATION.cff file in the #CitationFileFormat using the cffinit web tool. 😍

On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing was reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.

While people start to do the same on #Mastodon, I have the feeling that I miss important work bc no algorithm "saves" it for me if I don't watch my timeline constantly.

Two simple solutions would be: a commonly accepted hashtag that everybody uses when writing "paper threads" or an [...] @ a.gup.pe group with a similar adaptation rate.

#Question 1: is there already a mechanism for this that I missed?
#Question 2: What hashtag or group name?
I saw #TootPrint before. Maybe #PaperInAToot? #PaperInAPost? #PaperInAThread? #PaperPost? #MastoPrint?

Suggestions and boosts, please, we need reach for this! 🤓​

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:

1. Sign up on new server
2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account
3. Enter old account's handle
4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account

People of my age (deep into middle age) may recall a short lived series of "The Flash" - Mark Hamill did a star turn as the villain "The Trickster". He would say really bonkers stuff, punctuated by "Nobody tricks the Trickster! Nobody!"

In the end, the Trickster was put into a padded cell and he was muttering to himself that this would be the base for his new criminal empire.

Just thinking of that for some reason. #twitterpurge

Update of my #TwitterMigration progress slider:
#Twitter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||>>>>>> #Mastodon

(Daily new reasons to move. Today: twitter suspending journalists: https://nytimes.com/2022/12/15/technology/twitter-suspends-journalist-accounts-elon-musk.html)

Please #boost. Dear all: seems like genomic.social along with the rest of #mastodon is growing. Please help out and #donate to keep this instance running. @Psy_Fer_ is paying for this instance. Here is a link to his post explaining how you can help. The liberapay site indicates that we are short of the goal of A$75.00 / month need to run this site.

Thank you!

Time for an introduction!

I'm a Research Software Engineer specialising in #rstats !

After a number of years as an RSE at the Uof Sheffield and decades in the UK, I moved back home to 🇬🇷and set up my own Consultancy https://www.r-rse.eu/.

I work remotely from the island of Syros but the mission remains the same: help researchers do more with their code and data and work towards #opensource -ing science!

Feel free to get in touch about projects in need of help with #rstats research code!

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

• Facebook replacement: Friendica
• Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
• YouTube replacement: PeerTube
• Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
• MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
• Reddit replacement: Lemmy
• Podcasting replacement: Castopod
• GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm

Please put your #Mastodon username in your #twitter profile.
