Stress Awareness Month Research can be stressful: deadlines, publishing pressure, data management, and compliance. Over the next month we will be sharing information and tools to help support researchers manage these pressures and to raise awareness about stress within research culture.

Call for recommendations 🙏 At our next journal club, we're going to be discussing predatory and non-reputable practices in research publishing. We're looking for recommendations for articles or papers on this topic. If you know of any please let us know!

Happy 10th Birthday to the FAIR principles! The guiding principles of data management were first published in this comment piece 10 years ago today. They state that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. You can read the article here:

Shocked to hear about the fire in Glasgow, an old stomping ground of mine. Thinking of all the crews involved in combatting the fire, and especially those from Maryhill fire station.

Often feels like anyone who is critical of GenAI is immediately labelled a neo-luddite. But these criticisms are legit: they don't come from fear or ignorance, they come from a genuine concern about environmental degradation, loss of privacy, reduced human connection, & exploitation for profit.

Creative Commons Licenses are ill-equipped for the AI era and the rapid ingestion/scraping of open content by bots. - training for AI doesn't fit traditional copyright definitions because text is converted into statistical patterns that are tokenised processed and used for probability-based outputs.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Things are about to get a bit ancient. I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.
