I have an opening in my group at RWTH Aachen University for a research internship for a bachelor or master's student in chemistry or computer science who would like to learn about cheminformatics methods in catalyst design for plastics recycling

@deNBI @dalia a big output here was the development of the OERbservatory Python package (https://github.com/data-literacy-alliance/oerbservatory) which serves as an interoperability hub with the DALIA, TeSS, and Schemas.org data models for open educational resources (OERs), learning materials, and later, learning paths

that feeling when someone sends a pull request that includes modifications to turn off linter checks they didn't pass

@janmartinkeil@mstdn.social @helmholtz_hmc@helmholtz.social maybe you want to add in using @bioregistry@hachyderm.io to make sure all of the prefixes defined at the top are standardized

do i just dislike the font that AI-generated (scientific) images use?

Is it that I can see the kerning is bad?

Or do I just have disdain that they are AI-generated?

SSSOM now specifies an algorithm for hashing records (i.e., rows in a SSSOM TSV file) to support interoperability across implementations and make semantic mappings more FAIR

📖 https://mapping-commons.github.io/sssom/spec-support-hashing

Implementations are already available in SSSOM-Java and sssom-pydantic

huge thanks to @dgouttegattat for leading the development of this part of the SSSOM spec!

@Floppy @andrewnez which toolchain is appropriate if we treated people as markdown files? Should I YOLO and just push to main? Should I use a linter that reports erorrs? Or a formatter that fixes them?

@meanmicio@todon.eu @biocurator@genomic.social cool! for some context, here are our first two episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYM0tkKvhlX54EMQGIbAOOhMKlDDPF21P and this is more or less the question list that we go through: https://cthoyt.com/2026/03/03/curate-this.html have a look and if you're still interested let's take discussion to email (cthoyt@gmail.com)

@andrewnez i have the same sentiment. In my job, I'm often trying to integrate different scientific databases that all have pretty high overlap, but aren't quite similar enough to integrate without writing some code as an abstraction between them (mostly for drug discovery/medicine)

@meanmicio@todon.eu @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu agree with the sentiment, but I can't help notice... what are you curating back there? want to show us how this works on the @biocurator@genomic.social podcast? we did 2 episodes so far where we interviewed people about how they do curation

I just added a human.json to my blog too! I like writing and creating and won't start offloading that to AI anytime soon.

lots of work went into planning the virtual conference series this year. please join, especially if you're not in the bio- part of the curation and FAIR data world to have cross-disciplinary exchange!

@cas@social.treehouse.systems I guess the question is what percentage of those would be interested in taking up more responsibility. I can imagine that's a big ask for a community that's also busy with their own things, and until now were happy that your component in their ecosystem was taken care of just for context, I am thinking about similar things, but for much smaller academic projects with a smaller pool of more busy people 🙃

RE: @egonw@mastodon.social

my biocurator blood makes me a sucker for doing more curation to make metadata completeness numbers go up

@rogue_scholar@wisskomm.social is there documentation somewhere on how to encode metadata in my posts to get my ORCiD, ROR, and other metadata propagated correctly?

@janmartinkeil@mstdn.social You'll probably want to use the data dump from https://w3id.org/biopragmatics/bioregistry/registry.json (if you want to get reconciliation for prefix synonyms) or the JSON-LD context from https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/raw/refs/heads/main/exports/contexts/bioregistry.context.jsonld (if you just want to check if valid) all of the outputs are CC0. There's also the Python package built around it, in case you want to reuse validation code
