Speaking of the digitization of objects, the German Europa stamp 2025 was issued on 8 May 2025. Europa stamps have been issued since 1956 as a symbol of the European community, at that time by the post offices of the 6 founding members of the ECSC. A strong signal, so soon after the devastating war! Since 1974, country-specific stamps have been issued under a common theme instead of a common stamp.
Im Jahr 2024 unterstützte der Publikationsfonds des Landes Brandenburg Open-Access-Publikationen von Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen. Diese Titel repräsentieren eine breite Palette von Disziplinen und sind Zeugnis der vielfältigen Forschungslandschaft des Landes. Zurzeit bringen wir Ihnen einige dieser Veröffentlichungen in unserem Blog näher.
In the spirit of learning in public, I wanted an excuse to dive into Quarto to learn more about publishing formats beyond simple PDF and HTML documents. If you’re not familiar, Quarto (quarto.org) is the successor to RMarkdown, the next-generation scientific publishing system that works natively with Python, R, and OJS. If you already have RMarkdown you probably don’t have to do anything to it to get it to render with Quarto.

Ein starkes Signal, so kurz nach dem verheerenden Krieg! Seit 1974 erscheinen statt einer gemeinsamen Briefmarke länderspezifische Marken unter einem gemeinsamen Thema.
This is a guest post from Evan Peikon, who publishes Decoding Biology, a substack about computational biology, biosensor development and analytics, and network biology. He’s a prolific writer, founder, and scientist, and well worth following along. Science today looks very different than it once did.
In my own attempt to be a productive part of the change towards European digital autonomy, I upskilled myself to manage and deploy services on European cloud infrastructure. As far as European cloud infrastructure goes, I did some research and there are several major players – OVHCloud, StackIt, and Open Telekom Cloud.

The monosulfoxide of cyclo-heptasulfur was reported along with cycloheptasulfur itself in 1977, along with the remarks that “The δ modification of S7 contains bonds of widely differing length: this has never been observed before in an unsubstituted molecule.
