Following on from releasing BOLD View I’ve started to explore how the classifcation of DNA barcodes changes over time. BOLD uses the RESL algorithm described in Ratnasingham & Hebert (2013, 2016) to cluster barcodes into “BINs”. As the number of DNA barcodes grows over time these clusters may change.

Way back in 1977, the crystal structure of the sulfur ring S7 was reported.

My name’s Cameron Wells, and if you’d told me five years ago I’d be running a fermentation line in a biomanufacturing facility outside Bloomington, Indiana, I would’ve laughed you out of the barracks. Back then, I was an Airman First Class in the 3rd Medical Support Squadron, stationed at Travis. Logistics. Paperwork. Syringe kits.

These two statements are the reason this book exists: as historians we want to be useful, and we can (if we look) find better or different ways to do history. Specifically, we think that (ancient) history can speak to political science, and political science can help us better understand (ancient) history.

Introduction Code generation powered by large language models is reshaping how developers write software. OpenAI’s GPT series and Meta’s open-source Llama 4 are two leading options in this space.

Im Rahmen des von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Projekts Infra Wiss Blogs laden wir Sie herzlich zu einem Webinar zum Thema Archivierung wissenschaftlicher Blogs ein.

As part of the Infra Wiss Blogs project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), we invite you to a webinar on the topic of archiving scholarly blogs. This webinar will focus on the Rogue Scholar service by Front Matter. After an introduction to the Infra Wiss Blogs project, we will present and discuss how WordPress-hosted scholarly blogs can be archived with Rogue Scholar.

Rogue Scholar archives the content of currently more than 150 science blogs with more than 40,000 blog posts. In this blog post, I want to clarify the guidelines that Rogue Scholar tries to follow regarding authorship.

Everybody[1] knows that in the early years of the 20th Century, the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh sent casts of its iconic Diplodocus around the world. Ten casts, in fact: to London, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Bologna, St. Petersburg, La Plata, Madrid, Mexico City and Munich. The first nine were all mounted, and most still stand in their original museums. (The London cast has moved around a lot and currently resides in Coventry;

This week’s recap highlights compendium of human gene functions derived from evolutionary modelling from the Gene Ontology Consortium, an AI reasoning model applied to rare disease diagnosis, an agentic AI for scRNA-seq data exploration, and applying FAIR principles to scientific workflows.
