Merry Christmas and happy holidays to You! #Xmas

News from #bioplastics : “All-Round Talent: Unique Zinc Guanidine Catalyst Performs Efficiently in Synthesis and Chemical Recycling of (Bio)Polyesters” in Advanced Science! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #sustainablechemistry #recycling

@deNBI @dalia a big output here was the development of the OERbservatory Python package (https://github.com/data-literacy-alliance/oerbservatory) which serves as an interoperability hub with the DALIA, TeSS, and Schemas.org data models for open educational resources (OERs), learning materials […]

📢 We are pleased to announce the new DALIA newsletter! Here you can find interesting information on DALIA’s latest progress and past activities of 2025. dalia.education/en/newslette... #DALIA #rdm #oer #newsletter

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Charles Tapley Hoyt has written about his experience at the @deNBI BioHackathon Germany 2025 on the "On the Path to Machine-actionable Training Materials" team with the DALIA, TeSS, and Bioschemas teams #bhg2025 cthoyt.com/2025/12/09/b...

Neue Broschüre „Erlebte Chancengleichheit im Spiegel der Zeit": Die Seniorexpert:innen (SEC) der GDCh haben Chemiker:innen aus Ost und West zu Wort kommen lassen, die in den 1960er bis 1980er Jahren studierten. Sie berichten, wie sich Chancengleichheit im Beruf damals anfühlte. gdch.link/z8ec

Heute vor zehn Jahren wurde das Pariser Abkommen vereinbart. Damals waren gerade 400 ppm CO₂ überschritten. Heute sind es 427 ppm. Und mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. Das ist der physikalische Maßstab. Für so ziemlich alles Weitere.

Studying chemistry? Then your data must be accurate. Our series What exactly is? explains briefly and clearly how to document and organise #research #data correctly. Perfect for internships, laboratories, and final theses. 👉 Playlist on Youtube: https://t1p.de/7vt8y ##chemistry #study

An entertaining and worthwhile article about the reasons not to publish FAIR 😊

"All chemists publish #FAIR #data" – that is our vision. And because we have not yet reached our goal, we have applied for and been granted three more years of funding. Many thanks again to the @dfg.de . Our Proposal: doi.org/10.3897/rio.... #chemistry #rdm #fdm #researchdata #openscience

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 (and reality-checked) ways to lose your data. Plus, of course, how you can prevent it. https://bit.ly/4lNwTOC ##chemistry ##fairdata

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

„Dann geh halt Bäume pflanzen!“ Manchmal lese ich das in unfreundlichen Kommentarzeilen. Zur 35-jährigen Jubiläumspflanzung des Bergwaldprojekts in meiner lieben Harzer Heimat dazu ein paar Worte. Es geht um nicht weniger als um die Frage: „Was kann ich tun?“ Meine Antwort: „Pflanzt Bäume in Köpfe!“

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.
