A few weeks ago, we organized and hosted a hackathon at IPGP and it turned out to be a very successful event.   We are a group of five organizers who are: finishing their PhD in Machine Learning, no longer working as research scientists (currently involved in data science and data engineering), and still living the dream.   We wanted to create an event that would help bring data scientis ...[Read More]

#EGU2020 Sessions in the Spotlight: How to Apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant

One of the often underrated parts of a conference are the short-courses – these give us a way to spend some time learning a topic in detail. If you find that it’s tough to really digest information in a 15 minute talk, then the short courses are for you! Today we are highlighting a potentially useful (and lucrative) course about how to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie grants from the E ...[Read More]

The EGU 2020 abstract submissions are now open for the next two months! Every few days, we will highlight a geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology and/or volcanolgy session right here – great news if like me, you can’t make a decision in a restaurant whenever there are too many options (just like the session list), so you just choose the first thing you see… Today it’s the tur ...[Read More]

Is the scientific community ready for open access publishing?

How much we pay, as both scientists and the public, for publishing and accessing papers is a hot topic right across the academic community – and rightly so. Publishing houses, and their fees, are big, big business. To which journal we should submit our work is a regular decision we face. But what are the Green, Golden or Hybrid roads? How do pre- and post-prints fit into the journey? In this ...[Read More]
