"This week people in our community confronted me about my lifetime of
not understanding emotions. My flippant attacks in emails have been
both unprofessional and uncalled for. Especially at times when I made
it personal. In my quest for a better patch, this made sense to me.
I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry."

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

and the fixing just continues :)

Hey, I might even manage that long awaited version 5 of the ontology :)

blah... was struggling with the ENM ontology for too long this morning... semanticscience.org was down... does not happen often, but turned on GitHub Pages now, and use that for ontology IRIs and for owl:import's...

really happy to sit down with Nina today and hack on their AMBIT software... we used this in the eNanoMapper project, and will be using it in NanoCommons...

Practically, we're working on loading NanoWiki 5 (see Figshare), maybe some nanomedicine data, some ontology work (see https://github.com/enanomapper/ontologies/issues), and after lunch on (bio)schemas.org annotation

Hi folks,

about #OpenCitations and #OpenScience in general, we have just published the slides of all the talks of the Workshop on Open Citations #WOOC2018, held in Bologna on 3-5 September:

https://workshop-oc.github.io

We had 2 terrific workshop days, 1 inspiring hack day, 60 participants from 12 countries, 11 invited speakers, 13 selected talks, 7 poster presentations, food, drinks and a lot of fun!

We will add soon the video of the talks as well as the links to the outcomes of the hack day!

I just blogged my initial few Mastodon thoughts and observations... @invaderxan, I took the liberty of using one of your (public) toots as example... http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2018/09/mastodon-somewhere-between-twitter-and.html

Part of this story is a #Wikidata query to show Mastodon accounts for authors in the Journal of Cheminformatics (which is very easily rewritten for any other journal):

ok, now that I have a few more followers, anyone knows how to use IFTTT or something similar to autopost toots on Twitter, *with* images?

A little teaser... #wikidata

I just registered for the WikiPathways Summit 2018 #WP18summit https://gladstone.org/WP18Summit #pathways #biology #metabolomics

OK, added most of the professors of the Maastricht University, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience ... starting to look interesting :) https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/organization/Q55155683
