Here’s a wee puzzle: A mature Open Data focused journal (“Journal A”), owned and launched by an company or Institute (“Institute B”), developed into the flagship of an Academic Publisher (“Publisher C”), runs their own properly archived and citable blog with DOIs etc (“Blog D”). If a briefly published editorial Blog Post (“Editorial E”) disappears from their Blog, could it be an accident, or something else?

Two recent photo posts on Mastodon reminded me how much necks lie.

Structural demographic theory and the United States

Unrecognized potential number 6 in GetPot A rather silly error in Gaussian, but one that seems to be common and to which I haven’t found any posted solutions, so here goes mine.

Forest-focused Natural Climate Solutions (F-NCS) are crucial for climate change mitigation through emissions reductions and carbon sequestration. The Voluntary Carbon Market directs finance to F-NCS activities by the sale of carbon credits to offset emissions. However, inconsistent implementation and imprecise rules have led to over-crediting and other integrity challenges, reducing confidence in F-NCS effectiveness.

Physical spaces are increasingly dense with networked devices, promising seamless coordination and ambient intelligence. Yet today, cloud-first architectures force all communication through wide-area networks regardless of physical proximity. We lack an abstraction for spatial networking: using physical spaces to create boundaries for private, robust, and low-latency communication.

There’s a cave in Ethiopia, in an area called Dikika. At some point, around 3.4 million years ago, an early hominin made some incisions on an animal carcass, leaving some notches on a bone as the makeshift knife cut past the muscle and sinew into the bone, tell-tale kerf marks that speak of the first time one of our ancestors used a tool. ¹ What happened in that cave changed everything for our species. ¹ McPherron, S.

Crossref Grant Linking System has been facilitating the registration, sharing and re-use of open funding metadata for six years now, and we have reached some important milestones recently!

We are pleased to announce that the event series “Quo vadis Open Research in Berlin and Brandenburg” will continue throughout 2025 and 2026. This marks the fifth round of the series, bringing together experts and practitioners to discuss the future of Open Science in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. An overview of all events and participating organizations can be found on the official event website.

Appalachian History A store that anchored a town When Pocahontas Fuel Company built out its Boissevain operation in Tazewell County, it gave the camp a brick centerpiece that was part supermarket, part office, and part civic hall. Period photographs from the Norfolk & Western Railroad collections confirm a substantial commissary complex standing at Boissevain in 1931 and again in December 1935, the very years that defined the camp’s heyday.
