Second National Plan for Open Science — Generalising open science in France

#Openscience refers to the unhindered dissemination of results, methods and products from scientific research. It draws on the opportunity provided by recent digital progress to develop open access to publications and - as much as possible - data, source code and research methods.

💻🐍 Introduction and call for contributors

Did you know? There is a new kid on the block and its name is "inteq".

@mwt has created an #opensource #python package for solving Volterra and Fredholm integral equations. Originally developed for #economics, you will surely find many applications for this project. #science #mathematics

🌟 But now it's your time to shine. @mwt is looking for contributors who know numerical analysis or best practices for python projects.

Lagged teleconnections of climate variables identified via complex rotated Maximum Covariance Analysis

… You have some big 🌏 #data & want to find possible time lags between your variables for each location? Give complex MCA a try! We applied it on SST 🌊 & precipitation 🌧️ #ERA5 to identify lagged teleconnections 🔗🕙

🎧 Deeper than Data
— Ben Rush

When we think about #science, we often hear about amazing discoveries, but rarely hear about the struggles, personal accomplishments and personalities of the scientists behind the data. On DTD, we explore the personal journeys, failures, and successes of scientists through storytelling and humor. You’ll walk away with touching stories, life lessons and feeling inspired through conversational interviews and improvised games. #podcast

The Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders Network (POND) contributed to the release of the first #clinical #data sets in partnership with Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) to promote #OpenScience & #accelerate #brain #health #research.

📄 An overview of open standards in scientific publishing in the context of #openscience and #openaccess #publishing

Overview of 102 standards and specifications, organized into ten categories. Essential ones were selected by defining an open standard for scholarly publishing as an uniformly documented, widely accepted and used, openly accessible / extensible specification that is applied to the creation, description, production, and dissemination […] #science

Visualization of climate change, deforestation, urbanization and much more!

Melting glaciers and dwindling forests ... Google's latest feature, #Timelapse, is an eye opening tool, that provides visual clues of how much #Earth has changed due to #climate #change and #human behaviour.

Removing elements such as clouds and shadows, they created a vivid time-lapse from footage taken since 1984.

📄 OpenSource Carbon Footprint Estimator: Development and University Declination

Centrale Nantes, a French university, initiated a low carbon transition with the calculation of its 2018 #carbon footprint.

Based on an #opensource national simulator (Nos Gestes Climat) proposed by ABC and ADEME.

Data #transparency, accurate explanations and a variety of actions have been key success factors for adoption.

Today in our lab meeting we reviewed this terrific #article on #writing. Like the author, I grew up in #science with Bem's advice on writing. In hindsight, some of his advice is shocking.

🤖 #NASA 's #rover #Perseverance has photographed the #horizon at its location on #Mars with the high-resolution Mastcam. You can see a lot of different sized rocks, dunes, distant elevations, the bottom of the crater #Jezero and also crater walls. In total, 79 color photos were taken by Perseverance on its fourth day on Mars.
