Two weeks ago, the DALIA team had an inspiring week at the CoRDI and the Base4NFDi User Conference. For details on our presentations, check out our new blog post on ➡️ dalia.education/en/news. @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #CoRDI25 #DALIA #NFDI #RDM

Dear all, On August 25th, we held the DALIA Satellite Meeting to CoRDI in Aachen. For details, check out our new blog post on ➡️ dalia.education/en/news. @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #CoRDI25 #DALIA #NFDI #RDM #dataliteracy

The plan for NSF is to demote its director to an advisory role to what a former senior figure compared to a Soviet political commissar. Also, greatly reduce the role of rotators from academic departments to consolidate administration power. This is a disaster for science and innovation.

🌍Meet Prof. @herreslab.bsky.social at #SCNOWSummit (Nov 6–7)! Chair of Bioinorganic Chem at RWTH Aachen, she pioneers #sustainablepolymerization & #circularchemistry. Don’t miss her talk and register NOW 👉https://events.thieme.com/scnow-virtual-summit-accelerating-the-transition-to-circularity/

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Die GDCh macht zwei weitere deutsche Pionierinnen der Chemie sichtbar: Elisabeth Dane und Barbara Sandner gehören zu den etwa 30 frühen Chemikerinnen, deren Biografien auf der Internetseite der GDCh online zugänglich sind: www.gdch.de/publikatione...

It is an honour to host the InChI Trust Board here in Aachen ---- for the first time....but hopefully not the last ;-) Thanks to @volkswagenstiftung.de !

Great conference! So wonderful to bring all RDM afficionados together.... #fairdata #NDFI @daliaeducation.bsky.social

Dear all, 📢 We would like to announce the contributions to the #CoRDI on the 26th - 28th of August 2025 in Aachen. @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture.bsky.social @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #DALIA #NFDI #RDM #FAIRdata

Just fresh from the @daliaeducation.bsky.social satellite meeting today... www.linkedin.com/in/sonja-her... Thank you to all speakers and participants! #fairdata #OER

Dear all, 📢 We invite you to participate in our brief survey and share your thoughts with us. The survey is accessible from 25.08.2025 to 07.09.2025. ➡️ www.soscisurvey.de/dalia-cordi-... @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture.bsky.social @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #DALIA #NFDI #RDM #FAIRdata

The @ametsoc.org State of the Climate Report for 2024 is now published: doi.org/10.1175/2025... I am happy to have contributed again to this year's issue - see our section in 'The Arctic' chapter: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS... Another historic year for Earth's climate... 🚨

Summary of the the highlights of our recent technical InChI meeting: stereochemistry in molecular inorganics, atropisomers, polymer InChI, our development philosophy, governance / implementation, and tools / APIs / reference data. www.inchi-trust.org/shaping-the-... #chemsky @herreslab.bsky.social

Would you like to know more about the groundbreaking judgement of the International Court for Justice on the legal obligation of countries to fight climate change? And what it means e.g. for climate court cases in the US? Here is the podcast for you! www.climateone.org/audio/young-...

I do think this is indicative of the sheer absurdity of what we're living through. OpenAI is allegedly worth $500 billion - more than Netflix - and this is their brand new product that is meant to be super powerful. Does this really make a billion dollars a month? This thing? ChatGPT?

#OER #FAIRdata Directly before the #CORDI conference of @nfdi.de at @rwth.bsky.social ! enjoy a whole day with excellent talks by international guests and lively exchange! Contributions from @codata-isc.bsky.social and @psdi-uk.bsky.social and many more...

"A climate nonprofit is planning to revive a key federal database tracking billion-dollar weather disasters that the Trump administration formally stopped updating in May. The database - which was produced by NOAA - is set to return this fall as a product of @climatecentral.org."

Day 2 of the #InChI Technical Meeting @rwth.bsky.social in Aachen focused on inorganic stereochemistry & Polymer-InChI development. Thanks to @volkswagenstiftung.de @nfdi4chem.de and @beilsteininstitut.hessen.social.ap.brid.gy for funding! Next-gen cheminformatics is taking shape! #OpenScience

Please share ! #sustainability Also for the older ones 😜

ha, I managed to convert a CXSMILES in @wikidata via the MDL V2000 molfile and the #inchi webtool into an #InChI (!B) and InChIKey :) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q66421202#P117 #cheminformatics #polymers

Highly intense 1st day of our Technical InChI Meeting comes to an end - thank you so much for the productive energy by the people here and those joining online! And thanks for support by @volkswagenstiftung.de and @nfdi4chem.de ! The @inchi-trust.bsky.social advances #openscience !

“Scientists don’t have the Hippocratic oath that doctors do, but we should. If you see that harm to the stability of climate and to present and future generations is being caused, then, in my opinion, you have a moral and ethical responsibility as a climate scientist to speak out against that.”

We're proposing to stop releasing new 32-bit versions of InChI, as Windows 10 goes out of support in Oct. If you still use the 32-bit components, or have concerns, please add to the poll below - with comments for concerns or continuing uses. github.com/IUPAC-InChI/... (needs github login)

Interesting for all peopke dealing with #dataliteracy and #OER .... @nfdi.de @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4objects.bsky.social @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social @berd-nfdi.bsky.social @nfdi4microbiota.bsky.social @nfdi4plants.bsky.social

News from #Catalaix: update on our research! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

who have made our success to date possible and look forward to continuing our collaboration with existing and new partners. It is a great incentive for us to continue to inform, convince and educate all chemists to make their research data available openly and FAIRLY in the future.

This decision by the GWK is a strong signal and recognition of our work to date. We would like to thank the reviewers, the DFG and the GWK for their valuable input and continued funding. We would also like to thank all those involved over the past five years

The GWK followed the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation's recommendation and voted in favour of continued funding for NFDI4Chem for the next three years!

Today, the Joint Science Conference (education and finance ministers of the federal states) GWK decided to fund the NFDI consortia of the first round for a second funding phase, as provided for in the federal-state agreement for the National Research Data Infrastructure.

Great team! Great meeting! Towards #OpenScience!

The German Chemical Society (GDCh) is proud to extend a special offer to scientists living outside of Germany. To support academic freedom and foster global scientific collaboration, new international members can register for a free membership for 2025 and 2026. Info: en.gdch.de/gdch/members...

We’re in a really bad place when the government is calling mainstream academic journals “junk science.”

📣News from DALIA Satellite Meeting: The agenda is ready and registration is open 🚀 ⭐ ➡️ dalia.education/de/events/da... Looking forward to fruitful discussions about data literacy and to seeing you in Aachen. 🌐

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

IMAGINE: Somebody in your team deletes or overwrites data. Have you ever lost a year's worth of research because your data is gone? Hopefully not, but it happens! On @chemistryviews.bsky.social we present 10 foolproof ways to lose your data. Plus, how you can prevent it. https://bit.ly/4lNwTOC
