Hands-On with Gemini 2.5 Pro: Exploring Google’s New Frontier in AI

April 2025 ReSA has released its 2024 Community Report, highlighting another impactful year of global collaboration to advance research software and support the people behind it. This year’s highlights include the Research Software Funders Forum’s involvement in the Global Research Council’s annual meeting and the successful hosting of its third international workshop in Sweden.

Introduction Open source provides an accessible platform for individuals to develop and refine their skills while collaborating on real-world projects. For tech enthusiasts with little to no experience, contributing to open-source projects is a great way to gain hands-on experience, learn from experts, and become part of a global community. One program that actively supports newcomers in open source is Outreachy.

Like many others, my website is under a constant barrage of crawling from bots. I need to figure out which one is hosing me, but I am also resisting having third-party trackers of any form. I took a look at hosting a Plausible instance as OCaml does, but it's yet another service to run and maintain.

Im Jahr 2024 hat der Publikationsfonds des Landes Brandenburg die Veröffentlichung von Open-Access-Publikationen von Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen. Diese Titel repräsentieren eine breite Palette von Disziplinen und sind ein Zeugnis der vielfältigen Forschungslandschaft des Landes. In den kommenden Wochen werden wir Ihnen einige dieser Veröffentlichungen in unserem Blog näherbringen.

The first time I heard the expression "low hanging fruit" in science, I got excited. Simple projects that seem to be straightforward – seemingly untouched by other scientists. Projects you could pluck right off the tree and bite into, reaping the succulent fruity juice of success. In three months it would be wrapped up. An easy publication.

Vor zehn Jahren galt die ungarische Asylpolitik als Ausnahme von den europäischen Standards. Ungarn nutzte Ausnahmeregelungen und Notfallmaßnahmen, um Migrant:innen von seinem Territorium fernzuhalten und auf Nachbarstaaten umzuleiten. Heute hat sich der europäische Mainstream der ungarischen Politik angenähert.

I’ve been working on applying strict static typing to my Python package class-resolver and ran into an interesting way of using generics in combination with parameter specification variables (i.e., ParamSpecs). Normally, if you want to type annotate a function, you use the Callable, which works like the following: from collections.abc import Callable #: the [int] represents a function that takes in a single integer, #: and returns a single

This notebook is the result of a collaboration between myself, Dr. Jeremy E. Monat, and Dr. Phyo Phyo Zin. This is a hands-on tutorial that guides readers through implementing skeletal editing transformations using Python and RDKit, and Phyo Phyo focuses on the high-level principles and applications in the blog post How to Use Skeletal Editing in Drug Discovery: Key Benefits & Applications.

In April, two members of our research group were featured in interviews: Dorothea Strecker, who has been studying shadow libraries for many years, was interviewed by the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen (Stormyren Larsen and Ugelstad Aas 2025). The interview was prompted by the investigation “The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem” published in The Atlantic (Reisner 2025). Heinz Pampel was interviewed for the @mediasres program
