TL; DR: Underworld is now Singularity-enabled, making it easier and somewhat quicker to use compared to traditional HPC installs. We demonstrate results using over 10,000 CPUs and more than one billion unknowns for solving the Stokes equation with Underworld 2.16

This is our dog Eleanor. She’s a Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix, just over one year old. We rescued her last September — some heartless jerkbag had dumped her out out of a moving vehicle in a random neighborhood. Fortunately she was unhurt, but she needed a home, and here we are.

Published today in GigaScience is a new algorithm connecting social and biological networks to identify key proteins in Human Health. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a machine-learning algorithm that could enhance our understanding of human biology and disease.

[Author's Note: This is Version 2 of this Editorial Blog Post. Version 1 was openly reviewed through MetaROR and this version reflects changes made as a result of those reviews. The response to reviewers is here.] Academia is undergoing a rapid transformation characterized by exponential growth of scholarly outputs.

MetaROR, a relative newcomer to the scholarly communication community, provides the review and curate steps in the "publish-review-curate" model for meta-research.

Back in early 2012, I pondered about the relationships between a science-based blog post and a science-based journal article[cite]10.59350/3pbz1-vcd67[/cite]. This was in part induced by my discovering a blog plugin called Kcite , which allow a journal articles to be appended to the blog in the form of a numbered reference list.

Impact factor. The power of this term is unparalleled in academia. The word “impact” by itself is already so profoundly heavy. And second in line to it, would be tenure.

Two years. Hundreds of meetings. Thousands of hours. More drafts than I want to count. And now, it’s here. The final report of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) is officially out in the world. It’s 180+ pages of action-oriented, bipartisan, bicameral national security-focused biotech strategy.

La mentoría está en el corazón de lo que hace de rOpenSci una comunidad.Nuestros participantes se mentorean mutuamente en distintos momentos:cuando una perosna nueva se une y necesita ayuda para navegar por la comunidad;cuando un participante asume un nuevo papel, como revisor de nuestra revisión por pares de software,o proyecto, como convertirse en quien mantiene un paquete, y le vendría bien un poco de orientación;durante las interacciones

Mentoring is at the heart of what makes rOpenSci a community.Our members mentoring each other at different moments:when someone new joins and needs help navigating the community;when a member steps into a new role, like a reviewer for our software peer review,or project, like become the maintainer of a package, and could use some guidance;during everyday interactions, where people share tips and advise with each other;when someone shares an idea
