Unsere Workshop-Reihe geht weiter! Das Open Research Office Berlin (angesiedelt an der Universitätsbibliothek der FU Berlin) und die Universitätsbibliothek der TU Berlin laden herzlich ein zum dritten Workshop des Projekts „Recht offen.
Zehn Jahre nach dem sogenannten „ langen Sommer der Migration“ ist klar: Schule in Deutschland tut sich weiterhin schwer mit der migrationsgesellschaftlichen Realität. Ob nach der EU-Osterweiterung, der Fluchtbewegungen um das Jahr 2015 oder zuletzt durch die Ankunft Geflüchteter aus der Ukraine – das Bildungssystem reagiert meist kurzfristig, oft nach alten Mustern.
Appalachian History Series A hillside resting place with county roots Rest Haven Cemetery sits on a ridge above Baxter and Keith in Harlan County, Kentucky. Its story begins at the end of 1929, when the Harlan County Fiscal Court voted to purchase 1,827 burial lots at “Rest Haven” for a county graveyard serving both “colored and white” paupers.
Appalachian History Series A Small Lake With County-Wide Importance In 1969 the Martin County Water District finished an earthen dam above Inez and created Curtis Crum Reservoir, a small but strategic pool that feeds the county’s drinking water system. From the start, managers paired the lake with pumps on the Tug Fork River to keep levels stable, then sent raw water to the treatment plant on Turkey Creek for household use.
Appalachian History Series The Middle Fork Setting and Purpose Where the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River cuts through steep country in Perry and Leslie counties, the federal government built Buckhorn Lake Dam to tame dangerous floods and stabilize low flows. The site sits above the confluence where narrow ridges funnel runoff into quick crests.
Das wissenschaftliche Publizieren befindet sich in einem tiefgreifenden Umbruch: Open Access, digitale Plattformen, alternative Publikationsmodelle und neue Formen der Forschungsbewertung verändern die Art und Weise, wie Wissen verbreitet, sichtbar und bewertet wird. Für Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen bringt das große Chancen, aber auch Unsicherheiten mit sich. Mit meiner Monographie „Wissenschaftliches Publizieren im Wandel.
Scholarly publishing is undergoing profound change. Open Access, new peer review models, digital platforms, and alternative evaluation metrics are transforming the dissemination and assessment of research. For early career researchers, this transformation offers great opportunities, but also uncertainty. With my book Scholarly Publishing in Transition.
The current system of recognition in academia is built on a single pillar; publishing. Career advancement is dependent on how much and where you publish. Assessment of “quality” is based on extremely poor proxies, such as impact factor or journal name. There are a range of costs to this system ranging from financial to personal. Financial The financial costs of publishing are very well documented.

You’re setting up a new cloud VM on AWS after migrating away from GCP. You get an account on your institution’s new HPC. You have everything just so in your development environment, and now you have to remember how to set everything up again.

Reposted from the original at https://blog.stephenturner.us/p/positron-assistant-copilot-chat-agent I have a little hobby project I’m working on and I wanted to use the opportunity to fully make the switch to Positron from RStudio. I used Positron here and there when it first came out, but now that it’s out of beta and has a more complete feature set (like remote SSH sessions!) I have everything I need to switch and not look back.
