Gotta say, watching Scarlett Johansson making eyes at Aquilops is not getting old. Screengrab from this clip, the good stuff starts about 6:19. This short clip from the Tonight Show is also pretty great. Aaaand Halloween costume: sorted. I already have everything I need! (…except the lifelike Aquilops puppet. Dammit.) I may get back to posting actual science when I’m not drowning in summer anatomy teaching. Three days to go.

This are just a few insights I have got from some of the talks I attended. As usual, this does not represent a report on the WATOC congress itself, but simply some aspects that caught my personal eye. Frank Neese talked about his Bubblepole approximation for large molecules.[cite]10.1021/acs.jpca.4c07415[/cite] And he was not kidding – large.

Die EU-Migrationspolitik bewegt sich seit jeher zwischen Logiken selektiver Offenheit und Abschottung. Seit dem Sommer der Migration befindet sie sich in einer Konjunktur, in der sich Strategien einer stärkeren Europäisierung mit einer forcierten Renationalisierung konfrontiert sehen. In diesem Kontext entfalten sich aus den politischen Kämpfen und Rechtskämpfen widersprüchliche Dynamiken.

How can we document software and computational analyses in such a way that others can convince themselves of their validity, and build on them for their own work? The question has been around for many years, and a number of attempts have been made to provide partial answers. This post provides a brief review and describes my own tentative answer, inviting you to play with it. Explainable AI is a hot topic today.

Most regular readers will know about DinoCon, a two-day semi-technical/semi-popular conference being run by SV-POW!’s own Darren Naish. (Darren is very much a silent partner here, and is much better known for his own blog Tetrapod Zoology, and of course for his technical work.) The first ever DinoCon will be this summer — Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August at the University of Exeter.

Being a researcher implies a long stretch of studies at the university to specialize in a certain field. To me personally, it felt like I just kept studying and studying, year after year, and… here I am.  One day, when I was 18 I went to the university and I am still there. I have come to realize that I never really mentally switched from being a student to being a professional or having a job.

Imagine having a super-powered map that connects every important idea, tool, and discovery in mathematics — that’s what zbMATH, and its incorporated platforms such as swMATH, a specific portal for mathematical research software, do. These platforms are like the ultimate librarians of math research, gathering and organizing knowledge from academic papers, software, datasets, and even citation networks. But they don’t just collect information; they make it smarter.
