This week I attended #deRSE26 in Stuttgart, gave a talk about #JOSS (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...), co-authored another (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...), helped co-run a workshop on #ResearchSoftware at #OECD (www.oecd.org/en/events/20...), and finally walked along the Seine and back through Paris to my hotel.
New URL, same post.
Do you like Deadwood? Do you want to read about why it's arguably the greatest work of art in recent American history?
Buddy, have I got the post for you.
World map highlighting countries where polio has been detected in the last 12 months
CDC issued a Global Polio Level 2 Travel Health Notice advising enhanced precautions
Tragic. We had polio almost eradicated, but disruption to vaccination campaigns due to COVID, global instability, defunding & vaccine hesitancy have led us here

Nice work to promote research software from the French Open Science effort
Want to write a blog post and promote it, but you don't actually know the subject or have anything personal to add? GenAI can do this for you.

Morane Gruenpeter is speaking tomorrow at #deRSE2026 about why archiving source code matters as much as the data itself. It’s about keeping science reproducible, not just "open." https://tinyurl.com/5kt7ehvh
Japan has adopted the French #OpenScience Monitor model. This initiative confirms France’s leadership in this field.

I’m confused in Stuttgart
Lauren Cadwallader and I explain @plosbiology.org 's new mandatory code sharing policy and offer guidance on best practice
We are not changing, but rather formalizing, current practice and providing clarity around what we mean by code generation

New @plosbiology.org code sharing policy. In this Editorial, @npariente.bsky.social and Lauren Cadwallader explain the policy and offer guidance on compliance, noting that code sharing remains less well understood than equivalent requirements for data and ethics.

I found my target, a Ridgeway’s Rail, on a foggy morning on the edge of San Francisco Bay. Fortunately, it was not bothered by me and came to about 10 ft (3 m) from me. #Birds #BirdPhotography
It seems like when the discussion includes AI, it's closer to a political discussion than a logical one
Sometimes I wish our academic culture was like the US Congress where you can just yell "bullshit" when a speaker says something that you strongly don't agree with
A new paper:
S. A. Besser, E. A. Jensen, D. S. Katz, "How generative AI is shaping research software development and maintenance at a research-intensive university [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]," Open Research Europe, 2026. doi.org/10.12688/ope...
We are looking for contributions all around AI for parallel coding and software development for HPC, see www.helmholtz-hirse.de/events/2026_... for details! Feel free to submit a lightning talk proposal for the workshop! We are looking forward to your perspectives on the topic. (2/2)
RSE? HPC? HPC? RSE? Those fields are sometimes quite close to each other. This year the 3rd RSEHPC workshop aiming to bring these fields together takes place at #ISC26, June 26, 2026, in Hamburg. (1/2)
