The Rogue Scholar science blog archive has supported ORCID and DOI identifiers for linking to authors and blog posts since its launch. Starting this week, these two identifiers can also be used to navigate within the Rogue Scholar archive.

Clear Skies is making genAI detection with Pangram available to subscribers in Oversight. We’re excited to see how this helps users to investigate research papers.

I have had the Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia from June 27 open for some time now.

Click it. Save it. Sorted. #DinoConUK

Since I wrote about the new ATProto-powered Tangled Git forge a few months ago, it's come along by leaps and bounds! First, and most excitingly, they've added continuous integration via Spindles which are built in a nice ATProto style: The pipelines are Nix-only right now, so I braved using it ^[1] for a new GPS Exchange Format library in OCaml that I wrote.

I’ve been sitting on this post for well over a year.

The Merge Users summary from the PKP OSLO Sprint, hosted by the University of Oslo in June 2025, is now available. Sprints involve PKP community members joining diverse groups to work on PKP software and support. The University of Oslo (UiO) hosted eight working groups at the PKP Oslo Sprint in June. This is a summary of one such group’s work.

I’m trying something new this week. I’ve been publishing weekly recaps on this newsletter for over a year now where I take a small deep dive into a few papers I’ve read recently. This takes time, and there’s often so much more interesting and relevant research and news in the data science + biotech space than I could possibly write about here. So I’ll be trying something different here for the next few weeks.

While reviewing a paper, I suddenly remembered the first replication of an experimental study I ever conducted. It’s 25 years old. In March 2000, I taught a workshop for a sociology class of 25 undergraduate students at Utrecht University.

You are why I write this newsletter, and I'd like to say thank you with an advanced reader copy of my debut novel. You helped make this a reality, so be one of the first to read the story.
