“Thank you for the invitation to review the manuscript you’ve received for possible publication in your journal. I will consider your request only if the data and code that produce the results reported are available in a publicly accessible repository.” This is my new default response to invitations to review manuscripts for academic journals.
Snapshot The entire world if I had abundant research funding: My reality, getting rejected on grant apps and falling on icy parking lots in St. Louis: Finished my postdoc I’ve just finished a two-year postdoctoral appointment at a French national laboratory, where I embedded myself as an engineer among true chemists.
Introduction Remember MCMC from our series on these algorithms? Good times. We wandered through probability space like tourists with outdated maps, occasionally stumbling upon the good parts of the posterior. Then came Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), which, let’s be honest, felt like finally getting a GPS. We could actually explore the posterior, using gradients to guide our journey. It was efficient! It was elegant!
A coyote was recently discovered in an unexpected place – the cold food section of an Aldi store. The wild animal was found in a surprisingly good condition given its unusual choice of location. The Unusual Discovery at Aldi Rescuing a coyote from an environment like a grocery store might sound surprising, but that’s precisely what happened. Imagine heading to your local Aldi, only to come across a wild coyote amidst the frozen food aisles.
This week we had a wonderful community call, From Novice to Contributor: Making and Supporting First-Time Contributions to FOSS, where Sunny Tseng, Pascal Burkhard, and Yaoxiang Li shared with us their experiences with, and advice for, first time contributors, with the excellent moderation of Hugo Gruson.This was a perfect start to our special series of activities to support first time contributors to Open Source Software.

How can we teach “R for cell biologists” rather than teaching R to cell biologists? I’ve noticed that many R training courses will teach R – regardless of who is taking the course – and leave it to the participants to figure out how they can use R in their own discipline.

Note This is a follow-up blog post to the Dual licensing R packages with code and data post published in September 2024. It contains learnings from submitting epiparameter to CRAN with a dual license. Overview of previous blog post on R package licensing We previously published a post on the Epiverse-TRACE blog discussing the importance of licensing code and data for open source.
