👏 We’ve expanded our openRxiv Labs Curvenote Reader experiment to medRxiv Combined with bioRxiv, all 428,000+ preprints in the openRxiv Corpus are now available in the new interactive, networked experience. Check out the blog to learn more →https://openrxivlabs.org/articles/reader-on-medrxiv

Stroopwaffel in beak, clogs on! We're going to Amsterdam, April 29th - May 2nd, 2027.

Join us for 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, a multidisciplinary gathering designed for researchers, funders, technologists, and policymakers to meet, exchange ideas & make new connections. 📅 June 16–18, 2027 | Montreal 👉 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁 | 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀 www.convergescience.org #𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳 #OpenScience #CallFor…

We're pleased to announced that @atmosphereconf.org organizing is underway! We hope you'll join us in Europe, in late April 2027! In the meantime, you can subscribe to get updates and read about our initial organizing team.

Have two or three months now of posting our changelog every Thursday. It is fun to look back and see everything the team @curvenote.com is up to! 🚀

So hyped I even posted on LinkedIn to make sure people in my network who aren't active here know (1) this is so cool, (2) they can watch @row1.ca's keynote with @mattakamatsu.bsky.social on @stream.place which shows just how cool this is gonna get #AtScience #OpenScience #OpenResearch 🧪

Excited to launch the first openRxiv labs experiment: an interactive reading experience powered by @curvenote.com - this will evolve but you can get a taster of what's to come from the dynamic references & figure call-outs, in-line abbreviation expansions, etc. 1/2 reader.openrxivlabs.org

Thanks @byarielm.fyi. I am beyond excited, it is really opening up a tremendous amount of possibilities for science and #atscience as well. Really appreciate you helping get the word out. 🚀

We just launched a new reading experience with Curvenote in openRxiv Labs 🎉 First experiment from openRxiv Labs x @curvenote.com 👉 reader.openrxivlabs.org More openrxiv.org/news/labs-re...

It is always really exciting to see people just fixing and improving their manuscripts based on automated metadata feedback that @curvenote.com provides. @scipyconf.bsky.social is submitting their annual proceedings and it is always awesome to see them roll in..!!

Very excited that @curvenote.com is going to be the first experiments in openRxiv Labs. Can't wait to share more soon! 🔜🚀

openRxiv Labs 🧪 has launched! and @curvenote.com is the first experiment -- bringing our interactive reading experience to bioRxiv and medRxiv preprints -- we've been busy! more coming soon...

Introducing openRxiv Labs! 🔬 Growing from the strong foundation of bioRxiv & medRxiv, Labs is an experimental space for working with collaborators to push the boundaries of open scientific communication. 👉 Check it out and learn more: openrxiv.org/openrxiv-lab... #OpenScience #Preprints #Scicomm

Our first experiment, a new interactive preprint reading experience with @curvenote.com launches very soon! openrxivlabs.org/experiments

Excited to see this one ship 🚀 Using existing xml (we've done a lot of work on edge cases) that is produced and maintained *everywhere*, to create a much better way to read a scientific article on the web -- transform & enrich ✨

🚀 Today we’re launching Curvenote Reader Curvenote Reader transforms existing research into connected, web-native reading experiences layered onto the systems repositories and publishers already use. No rebuilds. No workflow disruption. → curvenote.com/products/rea...

Damn, this is very cool

Wrote the missing "how to wrap a JS viz in an anywidget" tutorial for @curvenote articles opensci.dev/articles/con... includes a companion repo

i think this maybe deserves a blogpost. atproto is a protocol for publishing and aggregating JSON with links. “accidentally” this happens to be enough for many types for social apps

my favourite PR typo of last week was `wockets` instead of websockets but..... `wockets` just sounds better anyways 💡 #keepyourprsrealincludetypos

my first repo up on tangled :) tangled.org/opensci.dev/...

Still room for tonight's event! See you there!

On 10 April, 1995, The Norwegian company Opera Software first introduced to the public a new MultiTorg Opera 1.0 web browser that used MDI (Multiple Document Interface) technology.

Want to see the #ATScience talk recordings? We're collecting them here! (most are there, still working on a few)

today and always ./🏳️‍⚧️

Because no one asked: heerich.js now has per-voxel scale transforms scale: [1, 0.5, 1] — or (x, y, z) => [...] position becomes shape been playing with shaders lately, so this felt natural: scale + scaleOrigin now accept functions no-where near shader speed though :D Part of 0.3.0

mini-clis for prototyping 🤘. This is a little sandbox cli for pushing standard.site records into my PDS, in my case with `oxa` as content, worked out great, busy fitting some of this back into our main cli just now, but neat on its own :D

Excited to talk about modular science, Open Exchange Architecture, @curvenote.com and @continuous.foundation tomorrow. Will be a fun day learning all that is going on in this space. 🚀🚀

Just made my first post from @curvenote.com to my PDS using the AT Proto variant of OXA 🚀🚀🚀. was still working on this when @row1.ca was giving his #ATScience talk yesterday. More about OXA and links to the PDS record in my post. opensci.dev/articles/hel...

oxa.dev looking really cool #ATScience

I bought my remote ticket to #ATmosphereConf - join me online March 2026 atmosphereconf.org

Just getting my ticket for the @atproto.science livestream - looking forward to the keynote from @row1.ca and @mattsulab.com to kick.thimgs off atmosphereconf.org/event/ats26-...

For remote folks, this our first @stream.place powered #AtmosphereConf streaming day! @atproto.science will be streamed 9am to 4pm PT Login to get access to screens at atmosphereconf.org/remote

After some upstreaming work by @curvenote.com and further work by the @mystmd.org core team, `anywidget` directive is now natively supported in `mystmd` and Jupyter Book 🎉 jupyterbook.org/blog/posts/2...

I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

it's exciting to be able to pull back the curtain and see all the hashes atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/opensci.dev

Today we published the Strategic Plan that will shape PREreview’s work over the next three years. By 2029, we aim to shift norms in research assessment so they reflect the values of equity, openness, and care. 👉 Read our 3Y Strategic Plan: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Adding an `anywidget` style/based directive & renderer into the core @mystmd.org stack is a big win for custom interactivity and extensibility. My contribution this week: to round off the first cut implementation - based on what've had in prod at @curvenote.com. opensci.dev/articles/ups...

Access removes locks. Structure creates movement. Why modular science changes everything. We unpack it here 👇 articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/how...

Feels like a moment, CSF now has a ROR! ror.org/00zwsrq61 Thanks @researchorgs.bsky.social. 🚀

Running live previews with the @mystmd.org CLI on a JupyterHub has been a challenge so far - the available theme servers are not setup well to support this. We've made progress on a solution that's almost ready to share, meantime this explains the problems it solves: opensci.dev/articles/jup...
