We invite you to join us for BOSC 2025, a vibrant gathering at the forefront of open-source bioinformatics and open science!

Top 10 Tallest Wild Animals When we think about the wild and its inhabitants, size often comes to mind as one of the most wondrous aspects. The sheer height of some of these incredible creatures can be mind-boggling. Let’s delve into the fascinating world of the tallest wild animals. Giraffe – Giraffes are the tallest land animals, with males reaching heights of up to 18 feet.

After some years of hard work, our Mapping LIFE on Earth biodiversity metric was published today in a special issue of the Royal Society Philosophical Transactions B! The idea behind LIFE is that although human-driven habitat loss is known to be the greatest cause of the biodiversity crisis, we do not yet have robust spatially explicit metrics that quantify the relative impacts of human actions on species extinctions.

At last year’s Open-Access-Tage, OA Datenpraxis held a workshop together with the Open Access Monitor at Forschungszentrum Jülich as well as the state-wide Open Access initiatives of Berlin (Open Access Büro Berlin) and Brandenburg (Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg). The workshop ‘The state and prospects of open access reporting’ outlined different approaches - qualitative and quantitative - to Open Access reporting and

This week, I have started work at Michigan State University, as interim technical lead on the Knowledge Commons project. I'll probably say more about this at some point soon. However, a huge part of onboarding at new digital/software places is getting your head around the stack and trying to get a development environment setup and ready to use.

Innovation + Integration = Cassyni X Sciety As an Open Science publisher, we’ve written extensively on our aims to think and act wider to better address the UNESCO Open Science Recommendation.

Each year C&E News publishes a list of candidates for the Molecule of the Year.

As we enter into 2025, Europe PMC celebrates a previous year of innovation, growth, and user-driven improvements. This end-of-year reflection highlights our key achievements in developing cutting-edge AI solutions for scientific research, advances in open research software, and support for transparency in scholarly communication.

I’ll be at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in Seattle (starting tomorrow). If you see me there, say hi! I will have a very light schedule, plenty of time for coffee chats. I’ll be attending many of the crypto sessions for the homomorphic encryption talks. And on Thursday at 3PM, I’ll be at the Code4Math booth in the exhibition hall.

https://doi.org/10.13003/axeer1ee In our previous entry, we explained that thorough evaluation is key to understanding a matching strategy’s performance. While evaluation is what allows us to assess the correctness of matching, choosing the best matching strategy is, unfortunately, not as simple as selecting the one that yields the best matches.

The Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) Event Fellowship program aims to promote diverse participation at events promoting open-source bioinformatics software development and open science practices in the biological research community.
