The Long Night of Science (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften - LNdW) is one of the most well-known public science events in Germany, providing research institutions with a platform for science communication. During this annual event, researchers present their work to an interested and engaged public.

This week the Rogue Scholar science blog archive has received two important updates: full-text search becomes the default search configuration, and blog authors can now self-manage basic settings of their Rogue Scholar blog community.Full-text search as default Rogue Scholar has long supported full-text search of all its content.

von Benjamin Heu Untersuchungen zur Rezeptionsgeschichte des berühmten Index librorum prohibitorum , dem Verzeichnis der durch die Katholische Kirche verbotenen Bücher, gibt es kaum. Ein Schritt zur Erforschung der Rezeption an kirchlichen Bibliotheken wurde im Rahmen eines mehrmonatigen MALIS-Projektes unternommen.

If doing your job requires constant applications to keep doing it, is that really a “job”?  Why do we need to keep “auditioning” for work we’re already performing? Let’s first agree that there isn’t a typical career trajectory in academia. But there are some recurring steps one usually has to go through. Getting the job There are definitely some unwritten laws about getting jobs in academia.

I have been involved in the open science movement for nearly 20 years now. By now, it seems to me the problems have been clearly recognized and formulated, the experts agree on the necessary technical solutions (replacing the journals) and the funding is available.

Let’s start with the information you need most: Dougal Dixon’s speculative evolution classic The New Dinosaurs , which imagines the biota of today if the K-Pg extinction event had never happened, is being reprinted in a handsomely-produced new edition from Breakdown Press. Here’s the website, open for pre-orders (link); the book ships on August 11. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this absolute banger.

I covered Autocycler (paper, code, docs) in last week’s recap: From the abstract: Here’s a schematic of the workflow: And some benchmarks:Subscribe now Demo I wanted to try this tool out myself. I followed the demo dataset described in the Autocycler docs, which contains ONT reads from a few E. coli plasmids, and mostly used the same code provided in the docs to run Autocycler on this data.

DOI: 10.60804/drrx-4m69 The fourth release of the Data Citation Corpus incorporates data citations from Europe PMC and additions to affiliation metadata. Our latest release for the Data Citation Corpus is just out, including 5.2 million new data citations from Europe PMC, and additions to the affiliation metadata for some of the citation records.

I found it on my own—probably during one of those late-night deep dives into the internet, half reading for a lab presentation, half procrastinating from a dataset that just wouldn’t behave. The paper is called “Narrative Style Influences Citation Frequency in Climate Change Science,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
