RADAR4Chem guide revised

Last month, a “Quickstart-Guide” for the repository RADAR4Chem by Kerstin Soltau et al. was published. Now a revised version is available. The new version has a new introduction and is clearer on how to start with RADAR4Chem, overall, there are improvement to provide the information as clear as possible. I liked version 1 already, but I think version 2 is providing the information even better.

The FAIR Elephant

So what is going on with The FAIR Elephant? So this week I will travel to Jena and will give a workshop on research data management for the research project IKARUS which has the objective to “explore open questions on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular infections, especially endocarditis”. I am very excited and already had a lot of fun adding new examples that fit to the researcher’s field of expertise to my workshop. If you want to see some impressions and behind the scenes, make sure to check out my ko-fi page. And if you are looking for a workshop fitted to the needs of your researchers? Contact me, and I am sure we can make it work.
