What if researcher profiles reflected the full spectrum of contributions, not just publications? Our blog post explores BIP! Scholar, our platform supporting multiple profile templates that capture various contributions & letting experts experiment with their own: bip.athenarc.gr/blog/5-reima...

Last week, I was glad to participate in the CoARA Nat. Chapters Forum in Madrid (www.coara.org/agenda-natio...), representing the proposed Greek chapter (currently under review) & presenting our plans for our 2y kick-off. Valuable opportunity to learn from established chapters & exchange ideas.

In his article (cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/whe...), C. Baquero claims that we are moving from vibe to agentic science. I don't fully agree with all the ideas presented but I share the view that res. infrastructures must evolve to accommodate AI-driven science ensuring it remains rigorous & transparent.

In his recent article (cacm.acm.org/opinion/does...), Vint Cerf wonders whether AI represents a paradigm shift in the way software developers (and others) work. Spoiler alert, he believe it does. Jobs in new disciplines (like prompt engineering, vibe coding testing, etc) will emerge as ...[1/2]

Earlier today, at the EOSC Symposium in an incredible venue, I had the pleasure of giving a glimpse of the GraspOS infrastructure (graspos-infra.athenarc.gr/catalogue/), which aims to support responsible research assessment that properly credits Open Science. Thanks everyone for the interest!

Hello world! After >14y on Twitter, I’ve come to feel that, in its current state, it no longer offers me the joy it once did. Most of the interesting voices I used to follow are now on BlueSky (sometimes exclusively). Hence, from now on, I'll also start using this platform for sharing my thoughts.
