@juliesquid.bsky.social's #CNG2025 keynote just dropped on YouTube! 🎉 Her talk focused on using the Diffusion of Innovation theory + Openscapes' Flywheel to modernize data & develop the workforce within orgs; based on a paper co-authored w/ Eli Holmes (NOAA) ▶️ Watch it now: youtu.be/A-MjTGJQpbI?...

Hi All, this is a light-weight way to check in on your workflow needs and with other friendly open science people. Starts next week, please join us!

Applications close Monday, March 24th! So you are not too late to join us 🤓🌍🌎🌏! pacehackweek.github.io

Thanks @copernicusmarine.bsky.social!

Confidence is rising that a major storm--including heavy precipitation--may affect SoCal later this week (Thu into Fri). There is still uncertainty, but risk of significant (i.e., more than "nuisance"-level) flash flooding/debris flows in recent wildfire zones is growing. #CAwx

we are reaching levels of national security threats I did not even realize were possible this is the kind of thing you put in a terrible b-movie where some nefarious cybercriminal has hacked The Entire Treasury and everyone rolls their eyes at the implausibility except somehow it's actually real

If you’re a workspace admin, this is a solved issue now (or at least was in my instance) - you can just toggle it off. Takes a minute, feels great.

The January edition of the NCEAS newsletter is here! Read about the Morpho open call for proposals, invasive iceplant research, @arcticdatactr.bsky.social trainings, what our Projects Data Coordinator Jeanette Clark is up to, and our current job openings! Read more here: mailchi.mp/nceas/nceas-...

Many congratulations to these grant winners! All are doing great and important work covering climate change: www.macfound.org/press/press-...

This guy nails it This is why basic (aka blue skies) research is so important. It’s fundamental to discoveries that change lives and improve humanity

Back in February 2020, I curated for #WeAreRLadies during Valentine's week. It was an unforgettable experience that made me truly feel the love of our amazing #RStats community 💜

Whether you’re a data pro or a newbie, open science can enhance your work. Join our 1st “Pathways to Open Science” session tomorrow for stories & data efficiency tips. zoom.us/meeting/regi... #BlackSky @blackinx.bsky.social Thanks @openscapes.bsky.social BIMS @official-bweems.bsky.social

Yes. And all of this - pro bono legal support, mental health support, childcare support - is also what librarians, teachers, health care providers, professors, scientists, organizers, & so many people working for good in this world need. Our struggles are all intertwined. So are solutions.

To honor them, I’m releasing this poem as a fundraiser for the California Fire Foundation, which is offering support and aid to firefighters families, as well as those who have been impacted by the fires. 💛 Give what you can, help who you can, stay safe, and this too we shall conquer.

"Solving the lonely data scientist problem", a post by @monicagerber.bsky.social to get us in the mindset for the new year! Monica Gerber is a Data Science Manager at @fredhutch.bsky.social and an Openscapes Mentor. openscapes.org/blog/2025-01... #OpenScience #KinderScience

Very proud to announce that @posit.co has joined the opensourcepledge.com. We're committing to spending $2000 / developer / year to support open source software that we use (but don't develop): posit.co/blog/posit-p... #rstats #pydata

Open source software in government - incredibly important work with the story of how they made it happen ✨✨✨✨

I LOVE this new post from @monicagerber.bsky.social - this is a specific argument about instituting code review, but I read it broadly about changing the way we do science. I'm so grateful to be a part of what the @openscapes.bsky.social community is doing www.monicagerber.com/blog/2024-12...

Running into a few of my open science inspirations today at #AGU24 it’s going to be a great week! @openscapes.bsky.social @juliesquid.bsky.social @cgentemann.bsky.social @eliholmes.bsky.social

4. Inspired by friends in data science (@juliesquid.bsky.social), I look for ways to be a better collaborator for my future self. Focus: identify repetitive tasks I can eliminate or automate Inspiration: @seankross.com (hi!) ✅ anything I type >3x gets a snippet & keyboard shortcut textexpander.com

On top of everything else: Fast-moving and extremely dangerous #MountainFire is now entering neighborhoods on western side of Camarillo Heights. Winds are very strong and humidity very low. Major threat to life and property; 50 strike teams (~250 engines) ordered. #CAwx #CAfire

Quick history of Kotzebue. Our people have been in this area for well over 10,000 years, likely more than 12,000. We have archeological, linguistic, oral stories, and more backing that up. We didn't originally live where Kotzebue is now though, in part bc of winter storms like this one.

My first action on here was to make an R-Ladies starter pack! Comment with accounts I might be missing as I'm just starting out here! go.bsky.app/Vgxwa2F #rstats #rladies

I made an #RSats starter pack. Includes a touch of Linux, Python, and dataviz but mostly R. go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS

Hey #EnergySky & #ClimateSky we recently won an NSF POSE grant to help cultivate a more sustainable open source energy data ecosystem, and we're going to be doing a *bunch* of interviews with energy data users and open source contributors over the next month. 🔌💡 🧵 1/n catalyst.coop/2024/07/09/p...

The hallucinations should be disqualifying on their own. But the staggering exploitation of water, energy, and creative labor is something I am begging my friends in academia to foreground in their conversations about AI. Let’s get specific about what we are doing, why, and at what cost.

Since 2020, I’ve been dreaming of a collective. Thanks to you, @ambikamath.bsky.social @edyong209.bsky.social @juliesquid.bsky.social @neillewisjr.bsky.social & Sara Yeo, I’m listening harder, learning more, & taking more interesting creative risks than I dared hope. Cannot wait to see where we go.

Just wrapped our 1st joint interview for a podcast about science & research communication. At end, I said, "You don't have to know everything & you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Sensemaking is how we get there together" It surprised me to realize how much *I* needed to hear that!
