Greetings from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada! I led a workshop here on Tuesday as part of ACM REP '25, and today is the last day of the conference. It is beautiful here, highly recommended.
It was a great opportunity to present about RO-Crate at #BOSC2025 / #BOKR2025. Please send me any more questions you may have. Slides and poster: zenodo.org/records/1584...
Flyer about the presentations from the eScience Lab at the ISMB/ECCB conference
We are looking forward to presenting at @iscb.bsky.social @bosc.bsky.social next week in Liverpool. We are part of #BOSC2025, BOKR, Education & UK bioinformatics tracks. See details of our talk and poster times, or take a flyer at the @elixiruknode.org stand (15): esciencelab.org.uk/announcement...
Our chapter โSpicy Data Skills Open Science Program With Library Carpentryโ has been published as an open access book by ACRL. Thank you to everyone involved, I hope people find it interesting and helpful when establishing or developing open research support at their public or academic library.
There are 24 hours left to complete my 3-question survey on skills needed in digital humanities research projects, link above. Your answer will help shape our @ukiedh.bsky.social workshop in Glasgow next week. Thank you.
I am one of the organisers of the Bioschemas hackathon next month in Cologne. Come join us (online or in-person) if you want to help improve semantic markup of FAIR life sciences research data, tools and training... or if you want to flex your web or graphic design skills. We are very welcoming!

That's the end of my first #CollabW25 Collaborations Workshop. Amazing week of work on research software community matters, great people and beautiful Stirling setting. Also the largest dosa I've ever ordered for myself, and more oystercatchers than any other conference.

About Digital Research Competencies (DIRECT) Framework:
โIdentify skills, define development pathways and progress your career in research software.โ
Watch this short video clip bit.ly/direct1video (under 90s) where project lead Dave Horsfall describes the DIRECT Framework.
Your responses will help to improve the emerging DIRECT Framework. There are three questions about the skills needed in your most recently completed research project.

This might be the first feature that actually encourages me to upgrade to Windows 11: layers in Paint. Everything else I've seen looks better/same in Windows 10. (Change my mind!)
Happy to make some review comments and suggestions today for @galaxytraining.bsky.social. Thanks for asking, GTN. training.galaxyproject.org/training-mat...
Nice! Will there be a new/updated slide template with the Bluesky link?
Thank you for sharing our poster, PSDI. Here is an updated version, better explaining the services that @elixiruknode.org provides which are of most interest to physical sciences. doi.org/10.5281/zeno... See you at my talk tomorrow.

A productive few days of hacking in Kรถln (Cologne) to work on Bioschemas. Thanks to ELIXIR and ZB MED. On my way home now... I was not prepared for just how big the cathedral is!

I really enjoyed being part of this work, thanks for organising. Lots of transferable skills and experience.
