Last week I wrote about the options we have for including DOIs in RSS feeds. This week is implementation time. Starting today, the Atom feed of this blog includes the DOI in the Atom<id> metadata field.

por Alicia Salmerón Explorar la historia de la circulación de impresos –de su traducción, a veces, así como de su impresión y distribución–, y de la manera en que fueron recibidos, leídos y discutidos constituye una auténtica aventura.

Zum Jahreswechsel läuft der urheberrechtliche Schutz von Werken der jeweils vor siebzig Jahre verstorbenen Urheber*innen aus. Auch 2025 gehen wieder zahlreiche Werke in die Gemeinfreiheit über, unter anderem von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse. Unterschiedliche Schutzdauern erschweren jedoch die Gemeinfreiheit. Jedes Jahr am 1. Januar ist der „Tag der Gemeinfreiheit“ – im englischen Sprachraum auch als „Public Domain Day“ bekannt.

Leaving a job is never easy, and it’s a consequential decision. But when it’s time, it’s time. Here’s how to escape the comfort trap, and take the next step in your career.

Introduction Independent 10 researchers are a diverse category of researchers, from those who want to pursue their own path to the ones who are struggling to stay within the competitive world of academia. We define independent researchers broadly as people who conduct research without an institutional affiliation.

I recently gave a 1 hour talk to the Chinese American Librarians Association(CALA) Asia Pacific Chapter on my favourite topic - How "AI" is changing academic searchI have being giving many versions of this talk both internally in my institution (to librarians) and externally for almost two years and it has always been very tricky to do well.This is because I believe for librarians to really appreciate and engage with all the changes that what

The majority of developers use LLMs to help write code, present company included. When I’m working in languages I know well, they're fantastic at handling the grunt work: generating boilerplate, suggesting completions, and writing tedious tests and documentation.

Last year was a big one for me, where my life changed in two major ways. One is that I started seriously studying plant pathogens, which I have found I have a deep passion for and know I want to study for the forseeable future. The other is that I graduated from university. I have made some exciting finds this year.

Exploring other cheminformatics toolkits besides the RDKit, I wanted to try EPAM Indigo Toolkit. The Indigo Toolkit is free and open-source with Apache License 2.0, so it can be used in proprietary software. I was unable to find simple examples of drawing molecules in a Python Jupyter Notebook, so here’s how to do that. This post also demonstrates how to save molecular images to a file.

I’ve always viewed FreakTakes as a small applied research shop. Discontented geniuses set out to run new science orgs or ambitious scientific philanthropies; I produce pieces that help some of them make decisions that determine parts of how to structure their orgs. I can’t do what they do — I wish I could. They do not have the time to look into the minutiae of the R&D operations from history that inspire their work.
