No News Digest today, due to a research stay on local culture in Cologne ;) The News Digest will be back next week. #karneval #cologne

Data management is worth the effort. πŸ™Œ

REMINDER: Tomorrow 14 CET.

#Reminder: The €350K #EinsteinFoundationAward aims to provide recognition for outstanding efforts that enhance the rigor, reliability, robustness & transparency of research in 3 categories: Individual, Institutional & Early Career. The #CallForEntries closes 30/04/2025: award.einsteinfoundation.de

+++ Final call! +++ We are looking for participants! If you are a researcher and would like to participate in a study exploring data search with LLMs, please reach out me 😊 We still have a few open spots tomorrow and next week. #AcademicSky ⏬⏬⏬

Tip! It's helpful to name related files using the same pattern so it's easier for users to know what files go together! 1. Raw data: proja_c1_w1_stu_svy_raw.csv 2. Syntax: proja_c1_w1_stu_svy_clean-syntax.R 3. Clean data: proja_c1_w1_stu_svy_clean.csv 4. Data dictionary: proja_stu_svy_data-dict.xlsx

"The greatest benefit of well-managed #data is therefore probably our own. Making our data openly accessible afterwards is then hardly any additional effort." #FAIR4Chem Awardee 2024 Robin Lenz Watch his newly published Awardee Talk youtu.be/_n7I1Gr9LTM #chemistry #FAIR #chemsky

Hi #Scisky ! Does your lab use electronic lab notebooks? I’m curious to know what everyone is using nowadays and if you recommend any note-taking app in particular. I’m specially interested in apps that you can easily connect to cloud storage (dropbox and google drive). Thanks! πŸ‘€

I started working on a starterpack for people, organisations and more, aktive in the field of research data management. at the moment it is quite small and focused on Germany, so let me know, who I should add! :) #ResearchDataManagement #FAIRdata #RDM go.bsky.app/5Ygp2KH

PSDI aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use. #psdi #datainfrstructure

Need to work on something? At 9 am (CET) I will start another co-working stream on YouTube, for 3h or so. Your chance to focus with me. Will use pomodoro 25/5/15 min and great usic by Scott Buckley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Cm... #coworking

Things like this cannot be shared enough. So check how you name your variables ;)

As I am reviewing a dataset that includes several variable names that start with a number, it prompted me to share this slide with some helpful variable naming tips.
