Departing Montbard for Paris this morning. Then onwards to Bruxelles. Not a regular thread today - I’m going to - I’ll post using that tag

@jon I note "European Transport Corridor Meeting: Scandinavian – Mediterranean" for Friday. With Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Germany, among others... Not too high hopes.

The final act 🙇‍♂️

Came in to remove the remaining items from my office, less than five hours before I cease to be a ESA staff member 🥺

But I’ve left one important thing here, to remind whoever comes next of just what Europe can achieve when the brilliant talents of its scientists, engineers, communicators, administrators, & managers combine to take on ambitious goals 🚀🛰️☄️

So long & thanks for all the science 🐬

A video of the empty interior of my office at ESA’s ESTEC in Noordwijk. There are chairs, cabinets, & tables, & on one of those tables is a black 3D model of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the comet that ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft rendezvoused with in 2014 & deployed the Philae lander to its surface.

@markmccaughrean Thanks for having explained the you (et al.) were doing at . I followed you from twitter to here.

I get it's a special day when one empties and leaves the office for good. I hope to continue reading from you here, but it's also fine if you want to give it a break. Thanks Mark.

(*) But also thanks for the NL road biking, the photography, the cat, etc...

Pro tip to find a way around Trafikverket-SJ timetable chaos in Sweden

A search is part of the parameters in the URL on SJ's website - like this https://www.sj.se/en/kop-resa/valj-resa/Hamburg%20Hbf/Stockholm%20Central/2024-05-26

So you can just bookmark it, and check it each morning, to then - finally about a fortnight before you depart find it will indeed run…

@lavergnetho@fediscience.org avatar

@jon I have a similar search-URL at SJ, around those dates. SJ should at least prioritize us, those who check every morning, in the queue for buying the tickets 😭.

But really? Just 15 days ahead? That's the planning of my whole family-trip to France hanging thin on getting a ticket for that train 😢.

The cheap airplane tickets are being sold while I wait for SJ to announce its night trains.

Is / -mentoring a thing?

One does not contribute to the development of the research or the software itself, but one helps others that don't know how this is done with the Open'ing aspects.

Of course, I know that there are several online resources for learning, but what beats a mentor who dedicates some if his/her time?

😅

@pyOpenSci @scientific_python @turingway ?

lavergnetho,
@lavergnetho@fediscience.org avatar

@meejah Interesting. There might be a niche to exploit there for research scientists working in bigger institutions.

For bigger projects, we have to write grant proposals (to the EU, to Space Agencies,...) to carry out our research, and these often involve several institutes. We sometimes take in board partners to do project management or communication. So why not a partner/consultant for the or aspects...

I read through your packaging tutorial, @pyOpenSci. I think it can be a great resource for me and the project team as we develop our satellite processing modules.

Do you have a git(hub/lab) template repo implementing this packaging approach?

The @EuroGeosciences journals combine open preprint and open review (and obviously open access once accepted). Such a model addresses most of your points, it seems?

For these journals I choose to sign my reviews, but to be honest the manuscripts I get to review are already high quality (possibly bc everything stays in the open, accepted or rejected).

Thanks for sharing your experience with taking the Open Science 101 curriculum. I took it as well and fully share your recommendation that many scientists should take it.

I learned most about licensing, preprints, and about the usefulness of the Open Science and Data Management Plan. And yes, I am a little proud of my course certificate 😉.

How come the account of the Climate Change Service () only has 373 followers 😵 .

Surely there must be more people in here wanting authoritative information from this key European service?

Follow @CopernicusECMWF and boost them, maybe ?

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @CopernicusECMWF

A fair point. I have no solution here, and I fully understand people who want to protect their feeds (and themselves).

I am a scientist, and my contribution is often to bring bad news.

One can now open files having groups with -datatree !

> datatree.open_datatree('file.nc')

-> https://xarray-datatree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

So far I had to handle dict() of xarray datasets and it was a pain. Looking forward to giving this a try with actual satellite data files!

y'all - HAPPY NEW YEAR!! i'm SUPER excited to announce that we are FINALLY publishing our @pyOpenSci tutorial series on how to create a package!! yahoo. check out our very first beginner-friendly lesson here:

https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/tutorials/intro.html

And if you want to participate in the development process via review - watch our github repo here: https://github.com/pyOpenSci/python-package-guide

pls share! and all feedback is welcome !!

✅ The ethos of Open Science

Looking forward to taking the next four modules in the @NASA Open Science 101 curriculum !

lavergnetho,
@lavergnetho@fediscience.org avatar

Status update, 101:

✅ The ethos of Open Science
✅ Open Tools & Resources
✅ Open Data
🔲 Open Code
🔲 Open Results

Something I learned in this 3rd module: always assign a license to your data!

Lesson 3 reads: "If you don't license your work, others can’t/shouldn’t re-use it - even if you want them to. [...] A dataset without a license does not mean that the data is open; using a licenseless dataset is not ethical."

Common data licenses are CC-BY and CC0

@lavergnetho@fediscience.org avatar

Status update, 101:

✅ The ethos of Open Science
✅ Open Tools & Resources
✅ Open Data
✅ Open Code
🔲 Open Results

This 4th module was about Open Code.

Again, the importance of a Software Management Plan (SMP) for larger projects (like is).

And (software) licenses, licenses, licenses!

Can I safely use an LGPL library in my "permissive" software? I need to find out.

Ha! And the module made me discover @pyOpenSci, so that's something!

Status update, 101:

✅ The ethos of Open Science
✅ Open Tools & Resources
✅ Open Data
✅ Open Code
✅ Open Results

This 5th module was about Open Results, including peer-reviewed publications, but also blog posts, notebooks, abstracts, posters, ... The list of what you can (and should!) share goes on and on and on.

Again, the OSDMP (Open Science and Data Management Plan) will help share early.

The lesson made me reflect about contributors vs authors, not easy...

This was the last module in this Open Science 101 curriculum which means I earned my badge 🥳 !

More importantly, I learned a lot.

I knew a few things from before, like data, Zenodo DOIs, notebooks, github, et... But I feel the curriculum can really help me add purpose and structure to what I hope will be my journey onward.

I do recommend taking this 101 curriculum online! If you have questions about it, just ask.

@jon @leifdenby Looks awesome, Jon. I'll give it a try for sure (after your upcoming update).
