In publications, measured data are usually attached in the form of graphs. Many think they have shared their data with it. But they havn’t. Graphs are representations of the data, they allow others to understand the publication . But they can't use them for further work. More: t1p.de/h98tm

Open data is the best teaching tool we have. 🧪✨ When we share research data, we enable the next generation of chemists to gain a deeper understanding than any textbook could provide. Away from ‘black-box science’, towards genuine data literacy. Let’s invest in the minds of tomorrow! 🎓 #Chemistry

Summer’s just around the corner, but you’ve still got experiments to catch up on? It’s handy if you use an ELN. If you don’t have an ELN: Here's an overview over centrally hosted and operated #ELN installations at german universities, so you don't have to run it on your own. t1p.de/hi3t4
