Looking forward to joining the REWIRE kickoff meeting this week in Athens. We will be reducing the barriers for reproducible research practices over the next three years, thanks in part to #ROCrate. More details to follow.

Greetings from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada! I led a workshop here on Tuesday as part of ACM REP '25, and today is the last day of the conference. It is beautiful here, highly recommended.

I am one of the organisers of the Bioschemas hackathon next month in Cologne. Come join us (online or in-person) if you want to help improve semantic markup of FAIR life sciences research data, tools and training... or if you want to flex your web or graphic design skills. We are very welcoming!

That's the end of my first #CollabW25 Collaborations Workshop. Amazing week of work on research software community matters, great people and beautiful Stirling setting. Also the largest dosa I've ever ordered for myself, and more oystercatchers than any other conference.

Very large dosa (pancake) and surprise face

This might be the first feature that actually encourages me to upgrade to Windows 11: layers in Paint. Everything else I've seen looks better/same in Windows 10. (Change my mind!)

A productive few days of hacking in Köln (Cologne) to work on Bioschemas. Thanks to ELIXIR and ZB MED. On my way home now... I was not prepared for just how big the cathedral is!

Yes, you can use ChatGPT to help you draft a cover letter. But you have to realize that the person reading the letters will then see the same phrases over and over. 🙄 "particularly within the X and Y projects" at the end of the 1st paragraph is the catchphrase that I've read over 5 times already

Yes! Alt text is useful and quickly becomes second nature to do. But when one forgets (as I sometimes do), the prompting is a big help.
