The Earth Science Division is looking for a scientist to oversee a more advanced approach to modeling in Earth Science for human impacts of changes in the Earth system.

This includes leveraging rapidly changing computational environment, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Risk-Based Climate Modeling or Digital Twinning.

Closed today April 3rd

Is it a good time to mention that NASA has an open solicitation to support sustainability for scientific open source software?

We are also having a town hall on Tuesday, April 2 at 2 pm ET to talk about it.

See details here:

@JuliaVSeidel High-res / SNR observations allow resolving sub-features! So instead of taking the whole transit now, we can also just take parts of it and resolve it in time. If you do that, you see that the sub feature comes from egress suggesting dynamics in the form of an equatorial jet. So what those ingress show us?

Does it confirm the jet, suggest radial winds or is it a global day to nightside wind? We‘ll friends, I am not allowed to share it with you. Stay tuned! 🤫🚫 #ExSSV

There is a risk to science being wrong. For most work, that risk is very small and is either corrected, ignored, or has little impact.

In a few cases, when science is wrong, it can have an incredible impact. It can cost billions, it can affect lives and careers, and it can derail discovery for decades.

Openly sharing software and data reduces that catastrophic risk. Irresponsible use of LLMs and AI can increase that risk.

what's the number one problem facing humanity, you ask? climate change, AI, pandemics. no.

it's the fact that a numpy.datetime64 object can't hold a date after 2262.

this is a crisis in climate science that needs to be fixed.

if you have a solution that isn't "use cftime", let me know.

NASA has released their 2023 Mission Equity plan. Strategy 3: Equity in Climate Data Accessibility and Environmental Justice: Increase Accessibility and Use of Earth Science Data in Underserved and Disadvantaged Communities to Inform Decision Making includes a number of initiatives to help expand access to scientific information like TOPS, VEDA, science activation, unbound, and GLOBE.

Sometimes in academia, people use the term "open source" to mean that the code is publicly available. To many in the #OSS community, "open source" means a lot more.

1. What should we call prototype research code that accompanies a paper that is made public?

2. What should research code include, at bare minimum, when shared publicly? (README, docstrings, requirements..)

3. What is the minimum to actually make something "open source", beyond just publicly posting?

Just for fun, though:

Tell me your worst stories about research data security. Leave out anything identifying, of course.

Asking for a presentation I'm putting together (unpaid) which I will make public when it's done.

Open-source and research software (#RSE #RSENG) experts:

Where should open-source research software projects go to learn about best practices for
a) governance documents
b) roadmaps
c) contributor documents
d) codes of conduct

We have https://choosealicense.com for licenses; what's the equivalent for these other things?

I don't need one place that has all of these; multiple places would be good.

I need sci-fi (book or novella) comfort food. I’m tempted to do Culture but I juuuust re-did it last year. What else?

crawfordsm, 3 months ago to space

An amazing project that succeeded far behind its goals! Well done to everyone who contributed to the project - I’m sure it is a tough day but so many that you’ve inspired by flying on another planet!

There will still be much to learn from Ingenuity. It’s a great demonstration of new technology and an open science success story: the software underlying ingenuity is open source and the data is openly available.

A nice article about the transformative work in South Africa over the last 20 years to make the astronomy community more inclusive and representative.

I taught at NASSP for 10 years. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done and so lucky for my engagement with the amazing students (now scientists).

I think it has been a successful 20 years of effort, though as mentioned, plenty more work to be done!
