Over the next century, biotechnology is poised to revolutionize how we live, work, and address some of humanity's most pressing challenges. In fact, breakthroughs in biotechnology and related emerging technologies are already allowing scientists to produce targeted cancer therapies, engineer more resilient crops, create sustainable materials, and develop solutions to mitigate environmental pollution. But why now?
Rare Sight: Dolphins Spotted Swimming in NYC’s East River Imagine the bustling cityscape of New York City with its famed skyline and countless iconic spots. Now picture something unexpected: dolphins gracefully swimming along the waters adjacent to one of the world’s most vibrant metropolises.
Is digital pathology heading the same way as music streaming? For most labs, the financial and human cost of keeping the infrastructure and delivery of digital pathology in-house is probably too high. But what this will mean for research and teaching activities that rely on easy and unfettered access to data is a tricky problem. Choosing to keep some things small and local is a tool to future-proof our transition into modernity.
As part of my work on Knowledge Commons, I want to make more of our development process open, welcoming, and transparent, by using blogging. So I will be writing some technical posts on what I’m doing there and how I’ve overcome various technical challenges. In this post, I want to set out how I got BuddyPress notifications into a separate application (our new “Profiles” app). First: why am I doing this?
The Rogue Scholar science blog archive has started to automatically add all blog posts to the subject area community of the blog. Rogue Scholar uses the 48 OECD Fields of Science and Technology subject areas since September 2023 and blog authors pick a subject area when they join Rogue Scholar.

Die migrationspolitische Debatte in Deutschland befindet sich seit vielen Monaten in einer Eskalationsspirale. Gewalttaten und Attentate von Asylsuchenden, aber auch Umfrageergebnisse, die die Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung in diesem Politikfeld einzufangen versuchen, verleiten Politiker:innen aller Parteien zu immer drastischeren Vorschlägen, wie das geltende Asyl- und Migrationsrecht eingeschränkt werden könnte.
Back in December, my university's top administrators announced an official position of "thoughtful restraint," attempting to stake out a commitment to institutional neutrality on contentious political issues by not making statements or taking sides.
tl;dr: Blog posts here can now have a little button at the bottom that can pull in “comments” that are made by replying to a post on the Fediverse (i.e. Mastodon et al.). Some days ago, I saw the nifty little “comment” integration that FOSS Academic Robert W. Gehl has on his blog, which in turn were inspired by some other integrations.
