The DataCite team traveled to Brisbane for the International Data Week 2025, the leading international conference on research data. It is jointly organised by the International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA). It was a great opportunity to connect with familiar and new faces.
A lot of things are less than ideal in the world at the moment, but I can’t help but be amazed at what one can do with a static website. WebR through quarto-live allows you to run R (you can also run Python with pyodide) in the browser. No server required.
