Welcome to the latest News Digest! Each week, I explore the latest developments in research data management, focusing specifically on natural sciences, and provide a concise overview. Today I have quite a few new recordings for you, so should you get bored during the week, there is enough to watch and learn! Let’s dive right in!
Recording of Physical Sciences in NFDI colloquium published
On April 14, Prof. Isao Tanka gave a talk in the Physical Sciences in NFDI colloquium with the title: Recommender System for Discovery of New Inorganic Compounds. The talk goes into detail about the data-driven approach behind it and how data from different sources is used. So check out the video below.
This is already the second talk in the NFDI Physical Sciences Joint Colloquium this year. Since these talks are published on different YouTube Channels, FAIRmat made a playlist, so you have all the talks in one place.

Consortium Meeting and the future of FAIR data in Chemistry
Last week three short articles were published on the NFDI4Chem webpage. One is focusing on the consortium meeting 5.5 of NFDI4Chem (online) and is highlighting different success stories of the past (nearly) 5 years of NFDI4chem.
The other two reports are on the activities of NFDI4Chem to promote FAIR data in chemistry in the future, not only nationally but internationally and discussing with partners from around the world how FAIR data can support the future research in chemistry.

Two recordings on PSDI Pathfinders published
A recording from the PSDI lecture on the topic of MAGRES Database for the Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) community. Just a few weeks back, PSDI published a recording of the talk about the NOMAD database and during the whole recording I was wondering how the MAGRES database might could interact with NOMAD. I was very pleased to learn at the end that in the future these two databases will collaborate and work closer together. It is very great to see how the different projects and initiatives get closer together!
And there was another recording published on how to use the Galaxy platform in Large Scale Experiments, which is also worth watching.
Outro
That is it for today. Due to a holiday (in Germany) there is a short week ahead of use, enjoy it. Thanks for reading, and see you next week.
