The global DataCite community is supported by a fully remote team of 21 members, located in 12 countries and speaking more than 20 languages. Once a year, the team meets somewhere in the world to interact in person, remind one another that we are humans rather than 2-D images on screens, and brainstorm topics of current and strategic importance.

Thanks to the Event Fellowship from Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF), I was privileged to attend the 2025 International Statistical Genetics Workshop (ISG). ISG is an intensive, week-long workshop held annually in Boulder, Colorado that provides hands-on training in the principles and application of over a dozen open-access bioinformatics tools for analysis of genomic data.

This is the first part of a blog post series on spatial machine learning with R. Part 2: Spatial machine learning with caret Part 3: Spatial machine learning with the tidymodels framework Part 4: Spatial machine learning with mlr3 Part 5: Specialized R packages for spatial machine learning: An introduction to RandomForestsGLS, spatialRF, and meteo Part 6: Specialized R packages for spatial cross-validation: sperrorest and blockCV The R

It’s been a decade long journey, but the publication of a completely gapless telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly finally marks the end of the Bauhinia Genome Project.

The software that we use to do our work is our academic software stack . I often see requests for advice on which software works well. Since recommendations from labs that have road-tested a few options are quite valuable, I thought I would document what we’re currently using and why. I have tried to note if we’ve switched, tried alternatives and if we’re happy. The lab is Mac-based and we prefer FOSS solutions.

Just like the anonymous commenter on a reddit thread or a social media post, I think the anonymous reviewer suffers from the “disinhibition effect” that comes with knowing that they cannot be identified. A reviewer “persona” is created and suddenly gives them the option to be especially harsh (sometimes cruel…). Would they have made the same comment face to face, at a conference, for example?

There’s a lot of talk these days about “technology races” and “the future of war.” But in biotechnology, we’re not racing toward some far-off sci-fi battlefield, the future has already arrived. Chapter 3 of the NSCEB Final Report makes it brutally clear: The U.S. military is not ready. Not because we lack good scientists. Not because we lack powerful technologies.

You are invited to a full-day workshop on Underworld — a computational Geodynamics / Tectonics modelling framework. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers, students, and professionals interested in computational geodynamics and Earth science modelling to learn about Underworld.

Crossref is a membership organisation, and it’s the global community of members that creates the Research Nexus together. Meeting our community locally is a highlight and an important learning experience. This year, we started by connecting with a growing community in Accra, Ghana - our first in-person event in the country included in our GEM program. From 14 members in 2023 to 31 in 2025, our community in Ghana is blooming.
