on my previous account, I posted conference coverage for a few meetings (with a mixed number of posts; I do not know how to list just my posts):

#srd23

Henk van den Hoogen wins the life time research support award! #srd23

@alastairdunning would there be moral panic about research from the first half of the 20th century if it was practised today?

Yes! And rightfully so! #srd23

NAS currently discussing #chatGPT and where this is going. I find this depressing. #srd23

NAS touches on the game changers in the field: "these are tech companies"

I don't agree. The benefit from mass access that is the game changer.

I think her current argument falls into the survivor bias trap. What do you think? #srd23

Nas talks about technology and research. She just mentions "frame of references". I hope the presentations gives some scientific evidence how to break those frames of reference #srd23

Good hypothetical question from Deborah Nas at #srd23

Would there be moral panic about books if they were invented after video games?

How can we use AI to identify biodiversity - the circa 8.7 million species on earth?

Jacob Kaggeman at #srd23 explains how citizen science can give training data to improve AI species recognition algorithms.

Slide from the session, here Ashley Cryan (left) speaking #srd23

Btw, I hope people can boost #srd23 tweets too, so that they distribute over the #fedivers efficiently (say, the five you like most)

#srd23 pannel discussion on neuromorphic computing. A hidden gem. Still seats available. While everyone else is visiting the AI session, this one is about computing how our brain works. Suitable for energy efficient computing, temporal, asynchronous event (sensory) data. Still standardized hardware architecture is lacking and an easy to use developer toolkit, to increase uptake, so many applications can start to grow. Could SURF help in building the pipeline for iterating the technology stack?

Note to self: write about peer review practices for source code #srd23

Next at #srd23. Using agent based modelling to investigate which policy interventions were best for fighting Covid in the Netherlands.

Use of underlying data from Dutch statistical agency, and BioDynoMo software crucial.

Clear keynote from Baas Maasakkers #srd23

Topic: using high volumes of data gathered from satellites to trace dangerous methane leaks around the world

My specific takeaway: extraordinary range of research and technical skills needed to carry out such a project.

Launching a satellite, keeping it running, gathering the data, mapping the data, analysing the data, visualising the data, sharing the data globally and then convincing polluters to stop the leak

I joined the CAFE session at #srd23 and hoping to see how it differs from hackathons, bring your own X workshops, and unconferences

We're seeing awards for Research Support champions at #srd23. As Chair Ron Augustus says, researchers need more and more support - in running projects, ethics issues, developing software, managing data and finding and writing grants.

Next up are the Research Support
Champion Awards #srd23

After a question by Hettne, the speaker says the method cannot be used for policy monitoring around ecological farming #srd23

We were just wondering if it can track 🐄🐄🐄's with this resolution. The current side confirms. #srd23
