We had a great time at the first Berkeley OSPO meetup yesterday! Jarrod Millman and @kirstiejane.bsky.social discussed what the OSPO can do for the #opensource community now, a time when #openscience is more important than ever. Join us at upcoming OSPO + BIDS events: events.berkeley.edu/BIDS

Do you work on #OpenSource or #OpenScience and are in the Bay Area? It would be SO lovely to see you in real life at @ucbids.bsky.social AI Futures Lab (close to Berkeley BART station). 🍻🧋🍹Thurs Sept 18, 3:30pm, snacks and drinks served to finish up the day! 🍪🍓🍿 (Online folks welcome too!)

📣 Next week on Thursday, September 18 @ 3:30pm -> What can your #OSPO do for you? Help shape the future of #OpenSource at #UCBerkeley at a fireside chat, a Q&A session, and community gathering time with snacks and drinks! 🍿🥤 events.berkeley.edu/BIDS/event/3... #UCOSPO #collaboration #OpenScience

Join #STRUDEL on October 23 for a workshop designed to help you rapidly build a high-quality scientific web app! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #ScientificWebApp #VSCode #React #prototype #OpenSource #UX

Hear from Kyle and Tyler! bids.berkeley.edu/news/branchi... bids.berkeley.edu/news/reflect... #SummerInternship

Earlier this year, Nicole Starosielski presented her research on the physical installations that support Internet traffic -- this took us to new places and gave us a lot to think about! 🌍 🌊 bids.berkeley.edu/news/nicole-... #SubseaNetwork #CableLandingStation #InternetTraffic

We’re still buzzing from our #GeoJupyter Hackathon experience - here’s why... Results from working side by side and a focus on the needs of the community! 🌍 🤝 Thanks, @mfisher87.bsky.social and @schmidtdse.bsky.social! bit.ly/3JLLlYR #JupyterGIS #OpenSource #Geospatial @geojupyter.bsky.social

This is a 3-hour long interactive / practical workshop where we'll actually be working with some messy data in notebooks together. Based on the framework developed by @carpentries.carpentries.org

We're delighted to welcome @kirstiejane.bsky.social of the @ucbids.bsky.social to the #CURIOSS community! We're looking forward to learning more about the @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social #OSPO. ℹ️ Learn about UC Berkeley OSPO: ospo-berkeley-edu.netlify.app #AcademicSky #opensource

Can't believe we're over 1k 💖

Particularly enjoying how many people in my life say “same” when I share just how many times I’ve watched Deep Space 9 🤣🤣 Currently starting a second try to like Lower Decks based on how much three of the DS9 crew endorsed it!

Spend 101 seconds with Tim Tangherlini, BIDS Associate Faculty Director, and learn about computational folklore!

Day 1 wrapped up with thoughtful conversations and feedback, and with DSE and BIDS faculty director Fernando Pérez (@fernandoperez.org) providing a big-picture view of GeoJupyter & some laughs. Stay tuned for more from this event! #Geospatial #DataScience #Collaboration @geojupyter.bsky.social

Day 2 of the #GeoJupyter #Hackathon is under way at DSE (@schmidtdse.bsky.social)! Groups will gather and define challenges. The fun comes in when we start talking about solutions – thinking about tools and looking at other communities for inspiration 🤔💡

The best part? Watching experts + beginners collaborate across tables, troubleshoot tools in real time, and share ideas for making GIS accessible to all. 🌍 Get involved in the community! geojupyter.org #GeoJupyter #OpenScience #Geospatial #Collaboration

🛠 GeoJupyter Hackathon Summer 2025, co-hosted by DSE (@schmidtdse.bsky.social) and BIDS at the new AI Futures Lab space From live-coding + mapping integrations to beginner friendly GIS tutorials, this hybrid hackathon is all about open, reproducible geospatial science.

Thanks to Pam Rich, Sarah Jones, Eric Giegerich, BIDMaP for lunch, and Bakar Labs for hosting Happy Hour! 📖 Full story: bids.berkeley.edu/news/buildin... #UCBerkeley #BCEN #Collaboration #Partnerships #CorporateEngagement

What happens when corporate engagement leaders from across UC Berkeley gather in one room? Last month’s BCEN retreat at Bakar Labs was all about connection, meeting new collaborators, sharing ideas, and building a stronger, more unified approach to industry partnerships.

"The database stands as a powerful emblem of transparency and the power of journalism at a time when both of these values face significant new threats," said @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social's @davidbarstow.bsky.social re: database on police misconduct in CA. journalism.berkeley.edu/berkeley-and...

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

New database just published by @latimes.com, @sfchronicle.com, @kqednews.kqed.org + CalMatters and built by Berkeley Journalism's IRP, @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social BIDS + @biglocalnews.bsky.social makes public 1.5 million pages of once-secret police records. journalism.berkeley.edu/police-recor...

We’ve launched a database with about 1.5 million pages of once-secret records detailing when law enforcement officers in California seriously injured someone or an agency found an officer violated policy with @kqednews.kqed.org, @sfchronicle.com @latimes.com @calmatters.org 1/

I’m deeply proud that @ucbids.bsky.social researchers and developers were part of this interdisciplinary and multi stakeholder team led by @berkeleyjournalism.bsky.social. A powerful demonstration of using technology for good: to enable accountability in a just civic society.

Congratulations and thank you to the many people, programs and institutions that have brought the Police Records Access Project into being. This represents the best of journalism, hard work, collaboration and service to the communities in which we live. journalism.berkeley.edu/police-recor...

The public now has access to internal affairs records that disclose how law enforcement agencies throughout California handle misconduct allegations as well as uses of police force that result in death or serious injury. #AI #UCBerkeley #Stanford #localnews

Happy world IVF day! Posting from the end of my first week of 2 weeks of daycare summer closures 🙀 Thank you to friends who have accompanied us on staycation adventures in California. Today was a little hike at Año Nuevo state park to see the elephant seals! 🌊

What does it take to digitize 1,000 years of Buddhist art carved into stone? The #Dunhuang Academy joined BIDS to share how they’re preserving the #Mogao Caves with AI, 3D scans, and open tools - A story about data, preservation, and why the Mogao Caves matter.

Listening to @404media.co talk about this article and I’m sincerely shocked to find it never refers to AAVE… ever? This vocab *didn’t* come from Gen Alpha, and that’s actually a much more important angle: these models aren’t being trained on a diverse set of dialects. www.404media.co/ai-models-an...

This was great fun!! Thank you @lauralangdon.io for hosting! #UCOSPO

How do you promote yourself? Does it feel uncomfortable? One of the best pieces of networking advice I ever learned was to go looking for how you can HELP someone new to you, rather than look for how they can help you. What do you know that can help? What expertise do you have? Tell that story!

Today’s Summer #SciComm session was all about promoting your work and your worth. Whether you're applying for jobs, pitching your work, or nominating yourself for an award: self-promotion isn’t bragging, it’s strategy.

@ccst.us will host the co-leads of the Joint Policy Working Group on AI Frontier Models – including Carnegie’s President Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar – for the first public discussion of the California report’s findings. July 15, 1pm PST. Register: ccst.us/charting-cal...

Science matters – but so does how we talk about it. Dione Rossiter kicked off a week of #SciComm with tips on cutting jargon, clarifying ideas, and reaching across disciplines. 🔬🤝🌐 Sign up & follow along: forms.gle/XBbFZDER74z1... #ScienceCommunication #AccessibilityInScience

Check out this fantastic blog post giving an overview of a truly inspirational panel! Thank you: @fernandoperez.org @choldgraf.com @bsipocz.bsky.social @cieramartinez.bsky.social & Sean Morris! @scientific-python.org @jupyter.org

At NWDSE last week, UCLA professor and social scientist Safiya Noble & UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society Dean Jennifer Chayes shared a powerful vision: AI should uplift communities and advance equity – not deepen existing inequality. Hear more from CDSS: bit.ly/4kiF3fM

Great news: At #Metascience2025 @wellcometrust.bsky.social just announced its signature of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information! Wellcome CEO John-Arne Røttingen made the important argument that open research information offers crucial evidence to support metascience. @cwts.nl
