For some researchers, it means access to training they would otherwise struggle to afford. For others, it is an opportunity to explore a new field, work through unfamiliar analytical methods, or find new ways to approach an existing research question.</p>\n<p>Through the <a href=\"https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2025-06-20-physalia-collaboration/\">Bioconductor\u2013Physalia collaboration</a>, Physalia offers two free places on eligible courses to researchers based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Bioconductor Community Manager coordinates the application process and works with the <a href=\"https://training.bioconductor.org/\">Training Committee</a> co-chairs on selecting participants, while Bioconductor helps promote the courses through its community channels. Between November 2025 and October 2026, the programme provided 18 sponsored places across nine courses, covering topics ranging from RNA-seq and proteomics to microbiome analysis, epigenomics and network biology.</p>\n<p>The aim is to make specialist training more accessible to researchers who might otherwise miss out on these opportunities. We asked participants what they found useful about their courses and how they planned to use what they had learned. Their responses offer a glimpse into the different ways the training connects with their work.</p>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"making-training-accessible\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"making-training-accessible\">Making training accessible</h2>\n<p>Access was a recurring theme in the feedback. For Blessing Chioma Oselu, a PhD student and Bioinformatics Research Assistant at Covenant University in Nigeria, the opportunity to attend the <em>Single-cell RNA-seq Analysis with R/Bioconductor</em> course meant learning directly from experts and having structured materials to return to afterward.</p>\n<p>\"The access to expert teaching and the structured materials were the most valuable parts for me,\" she wrote.</p>\n<p>Blessing plans to continue working through the recorded sessions at her own pace. For researchers balancing training with other commitments, being able to revisit course material can be just as useful as attending the live sessions.</p>\n<p>Another participant, from Benin, came to the <em>Epigenomics Data Analysis</em> course without previous experience in the subject. The step-by-step walkthroughs of methods including ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq helped make the material more manageable.</p>\n<p>\"I left the course at a clearly higher level than I started, and I feel ready to work with my own data when the time comes,\" the participant reflected.</p>\n<p>They also noted that opportunities like this are rare where they are based, and that support from Bioconductor and Physalia made a real difference.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"taking-new-methods-back-to-research\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"taking-new-methods-back-to-research\">Taking new methods back to research</h2>\n<p>Participants also described how the training related to questions they were already working on, or hoped to explore.</p>\n<p>For Amira M. F. Abozaid, a PhD student and Assistant Lecturer at Alexandria University and E-JUST in Egypt, the <em>RNA-seq data analysis with R/Bioconductor</em> course provided a deeper understanding of the RNA-seq workflow, from quality control and normalization to differential expression and visualization.</p>\n<p>Amira wrote that she had already started applying the workflows to her cancer genomics projects and sharing the skills with colleagues and students at her home institutions.</p>\n<p>Other participants were looking at different applications. Idris Ishola Adejumobi, a Research Associate at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria, described how the <em>Epigenomics Data Analysis</em> course broadened his understanding of how epigenetic variation can influence complex traits and complement genomic information in crop improvement. He also identified further training in the integration of epigenomic, genomic, and transcriptomic data as a useful next step for agricultural and plant-breeding research.</p>\n<p>Rabiath Adigoun, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin, highlighted the relevance of <em>Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis with Bioconductor</em> to her ongoing and future research on plant microbiomes.</p>\n<p>\"The expertise and methodological skills I have acquired will substantially strengthen my ongoing and future research on the plant microbiome in Benin and across Africa,\" she wrote.</p>\n<p>Sally Karimi Kinyua, a Research Assistant based in Kenya, attended the Network Analysis in Systems Biology with R/Bioconductor course. She hopes to apply what she learned about gene networks to research into mutations associated with malaria resistance. Sally also highlighted how the sponsored place gave her access to training that would otherwise have been out of reach because of limited resources.</p>\n<p>These examples span different fields, but the underlying theme is similar: participants are looking for ways to connect computational methods with the biological questions they want to answer.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"learning-to-work-with-unfamiliar-data\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"learning-to-work-with-unfamiliar-data\">Learning to work with unfamiliar data</h2>\n<p>Sometimes, what matters most is finding a way into a subject that initially seems difficult.</p>\n<p>A participant in the <em>Statistical Methods for Metatranscriptomics</em> course described how the practical sessions helped make complex concepts easier to follow. They particularly appreciated the explanations of foundational terminology before moving on to more technical material.</p>\n<p>The course also introduced them to ways of analysing microbial gene expression data using computational tools and reproducible workflows. Coming from a bachelor's degree background, they described it as one of their first deeper exposures to this area of bioinformatics.</p>\n<p>Another participant, Binod Rayamajhee, a Research Fellow at the Kathmandu Research Institute for Biological Sciences in Nepal, highlighted the course's combination of conceptual teaching and practical work with Bioconductor tools.</p>\n<p>The training relates directly to his work in microbiome data analysis, and he anticipates applying the methods to study host\u2013microbe interactions in bowel disease models.</p>\n<p>Binod also hopes to share what he learned through workshops and one-to-one mentoring with colleagues and junior researchers, particularly those working in resource-limited settings.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"sharing-what-comes-next\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"sharing-what-comes-next\">Sharing what comes next</h2>\n<p>Knowledge sharing appeared in several participants' reflections, whether through helping colleagues, teaching students, or bringing new analytical approaches into research groups.</p>\n<p>Sandra Achieng Otieno, an MSc student at icipe in Kenya, attended the microbiome analysis course. She was particularly interested in learning how to structure microbiome data using TreeSummarizedExperiment and how different transformations can affect downstream analyses, including diversity estimation and ordination.</p>\n<p>She hopes to apply these skills to research combining microbiome data with target gene expression and elemental analysis.</p>\n<p>As Sandra put it, the course gave her \"a clearer framework for integrating multi-omics biological data in a structured and reproducible way.\"</p>\n<p>For others, training may also open the door to contributing to Bioconductor itself. Marco Antonio Campan\u00e1rio Sampaio, a PhD student in Brazil who attended the Developing R/Bioconductor Packages for Genomics course, wrote, \"I hope to become a contributor to the Bioconductor community soon.\"</p>\n<p>These are plans at different stages, and their longer-term outcomes remain to be seen. Still, it is useful to hear participants identify specific methods they want to try, datasets they want to analyse, and colleagues with whom they hope to share their knowledge.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"continuing-the-conversation\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"continuing-the-conversation\">Continuing the conversation</h2>\n<p>The feedback collected so far gives us a better sense of what participants value in specialist bioinformatics training. Expert teaching and well-organised materials matter, as do practical exercises that make unfamiliar methods easier to approach. Just as importantly, participants want to connect what they learn to their own research.</p>\n<p>We would like to thank everyone who shared their reflections, along with the instructors and organisers who contributed to the courses. We'd also like to thank Laurah Nyasita Ondari for helping promote these opportunities through Bioconductor's social media channels.</p>\n<p>We hope to hear from participants again as they put their new skills into practice. In the meantime, their experiences offer a useful reminder of why access to training matters: it gives researchers more opportunities to learn new methods, explore their research questions, and contribute to the scientific communities around them.</p>\n<p>For the full list of the Physalia courses and workshops, please visit <a href=\"https://www.physalia-courses.org\">www.physalia-courses.org</a>.

At the same time, non-native fish species that have since become established in the peripheral areas of floodplains and other wetland habitats were also examined, and their impact on ecosystems was discussed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes these fish special is their ability to cope with conditions under which many other species could not survive. In small, muddy bodies of water, oxygen levels can be very low at times. The fish species found there are adapted to these extreme conditions and can therefore provide important insights into the state of their habitat. This means that fish inhabiting wetlands are much more than just rare species. They can serve as indicators of the ecological health of their habitats. If these specialized fish are struggling, this often points to changes or a deterioration in the entire ecosystem.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425-1024x549.jpg?resize=840%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Distribution of Umbra krameri in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-21174\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1024%2C549&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=768%2C412&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1536%2C823&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1200%2C643&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Distribution patterns of <em><em>Umbra</em> <em>krameri</em></em> in Hungary in the past 50 years.

The exchange between international scientists and representatives of nature conservation organizations should help to consolidate existing knowledge and develop new approaches to the protection of endangered wetland fish.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fish have always held a firm place in our culture and are closely linked to the use of water bodies. However, the little-known inhabitants of wetlands reveal another side of this relationship: they highlight just how closely the conservation of individual species is tied to the protection of their habitats. Research on these species can thus also help raise awareness of the importance of wetlands and lay the groundwork for more effective biodiversity conservation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/issue/5260/\" title=\"\">This newly published special issue</a> offers insight into current research on these specialized fish species and makes selected results of the Vienna conference accessible to an international audience of experts.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cover image credit to: Lukas Fuxjaeger</p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?via=Pensoft\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet</a></div>","doi":"https://doi.org/10.59350/hvxk6-e1725","guid":"https://blog.pensoft.net/?p=21171","image":"https://blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/16_9-Journal-comms-1.png","language":"en","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","published_at":1791763200,"rid":"98z2a-qex83","summary":"Tweet At first glance, muddy, low-oxygen waters seem unattractive.

Seit 1878 unterst\u00fctzt es dabei, technisches Wissen und Informationen \u00fcber Schutzrechte zug\u00e4nglich und nutzbar zu machen. Heute ist das PIZ das einzige Patentinformationszentrum in Niedersachsen und Kooperationspartner des Deutschen Patent- und Markenamts.</p>\n<p>Zu den kostenfreien Basisdiensten geh\u00f6ren Informationen und Fachliteratur zu Patenten und gewerblichen Schutzrechten, Unterst\u00fctzung bei Recherchen in Patent- und Schutzrechtsdatenbanken sowie Informationen zu nationalen und internationalen Schutzrechtsverfahren. Veranstaltungen und Sensibilisierungsangebote vermitteln zudem Grundlagen des gewerblichen Rechtsschutzes.</p>\n<p>Dabei versteht sich das PIZ Hannover als neutrale Lotsenstelle: Die kostenfreie Erfindererstberatung kann bei Bedarf zu IHK oder Patentanwaltschaft weiterf\u00fchren. F\u00fcr spezialisierte Recherchen, Analysen oder Patentstatistiken werden geeignete Anbieter und Einrichtungen vermittelt. Auch bei Fragen zu Verwertung, Schutzrechtsmanagement oder F\u00f6rderm\u00f6glichkeiten verweist das PIZ auf die jeweils zust\u00e4ndigen Stellen.</p>\n<p>So bietet das PIZ einen kostenfreien, neutralen und niedrigschwelligen Zugang zu Informationen und Orientierung im Netzwerk der Schutzrechts- und F\u00f6rderangebote.</p>\n<h2>Patentrecherche als Br\u00fccke</h2>\n<p>F\u00fcr Forschende beginnt der Mehrwert oft schon vor einer Patentanmeldung: Welche L\u00f6sungen gibt es bereits?

Welche Entwicklungen sind neu \u2013 und wo gibt es Ankn\u00fcpfungspunkte f\u00fcr die eigene Forschung?</p>\n<p>Eine Patentrecherche kann dabei auch helfen, Unternehmen, Forschungseinrichtungen oder andere Akteure zu identifizieren, die an \u00e4hnlichen Technologien arbeiten und als m\u00f6gliche Kooperationspartner infrage kommen.</p>\n<p>Patentinformationen k\u00f6nnen damit eine Br\u00fccke zwischen wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis und technologischer Entwicklung bilden.</p>\n<h2>Von der Publikation zur Patentinformation</h2>\n<p>Ein Beispiel f\u00fcr diese Verbindung ist die Patentdatenbank Orbit Intelligence.

I was not, but I was curious, so I went to go see what was up.</p>\n<p>The situation in a nutshell: a decent-sized male Sulcata or African spurred tortoise, <em>Centrochelys sulcata</em>, had gotten loose from somewhere. The guy who rang my doorbell had seen it crossing the street in front of my house, which is reasonably busy in the late afternoon on a Friday. He didn&#8217;t want the tortoise to get hurt, so he pulled over and parked his car, moved the tortoise to a sidewalk, and called Animal Control. Then he flagged down another guy who was out on a walk to mind the tortoise while he rang doorbells to see if anyone in the nearby houses was missing a tortoise.</p>\n<p>So far so good. Except that by the time I got across the street to take a look, the random passerby tortoise-minder let the tortoise crawl under a minivan in someone&#8217;s driveway.

The too-tall, hook-shaped scutes were just perfect for getting caught on the various metal bars and pipes on the underside of an automobile.</li>\n<li>Turtles and tortoises are <em>unbelievably</em> strong for their size, to a degree that is probably hard to imagine if you&#8217;ve never kept one. This male Sulcata was about 70lbs (I feel pretty qualified to guess since my dogs are currently 60 and 82lbs), and when he felt threatened he would dig his feet in and stand up as tall as he could. When he did that, he raised the minivan on its suspension by about a finger&#8217;s width.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"26055\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/tortoise-under-minivan-post/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5712,4284\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Tortoise under minivan &amp;#8211; post\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26055 aligncenter\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a></p>\n<p>Now the dimensions of the problem are clear. We couldn&#8217;t use a jack to lift the minivan, which didn&#8217;t belong to any of us &#8212; not the tortoise-finder, the tortoise-minder, nor me &#8212; but rather to a random semi-neighbor whose driveway happened to be tortoise-accessible. Absent lifting the vehicle, the only way to free the stuck tortoise was to sort of Tetris it backwards out of the tortuous mechanical cul-de-sac its pyramided scutes were stuck in. But every time we pushed or pulled on the tortoise, it would balk, dig its feet in, and stand up, slightly lifting the minivan and absolutely locking itself in place between a cement slab and a two-ton vehicle. So the program we settled on was this: wait for the tortoise to relax and lower its plastron to the ground, then slide it about an inch toward freedom, at which point it would freak out, stand up, and lock in, then we&#8217;d wait for it to relax again, vamp &#8217;til fade.</p>\n<p>Did I mention that it was a 70lb tortoise and we were lying full-length on the cement, arms outstretched, pushing and pulling with fingertips? It took a long time, and it was tiring. But also pretty cool, because hey, awesome animal encounter. Now I can add one-time tortoise-rescuer to <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2012/03/02/ratites-at-the-ok-corral/\">one-time ostrich-herder</a> and <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2022/07/29/a-close-fast-encounter-with-a-pronghorn/\">one-time pronghorn-racer</a> on my life list.

He promptly took off at a blistering 1mph, but the small group on on-lookers herded him away from the street and away from any other vehicles to hide under. While they were doing that, I ran back across the street and got a collapsible wagon out of the garage. Got the tortoise into the wagon, shook hands all around, and tortoise-sat him for the five minutes or so until Animal Control arrived. I didn&#8217;t mean to end up in charge of a tortoise, but everyone else had other places to be, and when they heard that I was a professional biologist with a lot of first-hand turtle experience, my fate was sealed.</p>\n<div data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_26060\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26060\" data-attachment-id=\"26060\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1350\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"2026-10-09 Sulcata rescue &amp;#8211; dragon butt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-26060 size-large\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTW can we get some respect for the dragon-level scales and spurs on this tortoise&#8217;s hindlimbs and butt?

And look at the crazy scales on the hindfoot &#8212; this is the <em>back</em> of the hindfoot, the heel, so those aren&#8217;t claws or digits, just bigass scales.</p></div>\n<p>I had assumed that this would not be the first tortoise rodeo for the Animal Control crew. Sulcatas are reasonably popular in the pet trade, because they are cute as heck when they are little, and not everyone fully thinks through the commitment of owning an animal that can grow to 200lbs, dig a burrow 100 feet long, and live 150 or 200 years. From everything I&#8217;ve ever read and from my own personal experience, essentially all turtles and tortoises are champion diggers, surprisingly good climbers, and otherwise gifted escape artists. More than one person has said they&#8217;re surprised I didn&#8217;t volunteer to keep this tortoise. I was tempted &#8212; for about five seconds. But a Sulcata is a lifestyle choice, and one I am not prepared for. I don&#8217;t want to be the distraught owner with a two-foot hole under the backyard fence and a beloved pet loose in suburbia, crossing busy streets&#8230;slowly. Besides, I already have a turtle, and Easty and <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2026/06/24/dogs-are-experiments-in-applied-genetics/\">the dogs</a> are plenty of pet action for me right now (and yes, my son London understands that with any luck, Easty will become his responsibility after I&#8217;m gone &#8212; box turtles are also century-plus commitments).</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"26063\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5712,4284\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"2026-10-09 Sulcata rescue &amp;#8211; face to face\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26063 aligncenter\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a></p>\n<p>Anyway, the Animal Control guys confirmed that they get these big tortoises fairly often, they know how to care for them, and if the owner of this particular tortoise doesn&#8217;t come forward to claim him, he&#8217;ll go to a tortoise rescue.

No one wants to read the papers they write, and the math problems they solve have no practical value. Teachers have them do these tasks because they provide practice in cognitive abilities that we think matter.</p></blockquote><p>The the R/Bioconductor exercises or the journal club-like essays from landmark genomics papers I assign in my class have zero value to the outside world. They exist purely so that a student practices integrating evidence, thinking about how to tackle a problem with code (even if they'll write that code later with an AI like I do), how to build up a persuasive argument.<a class=\"footnote-anchor\" data-component-name=\"FootnoteAnchorToDOM\" id=\"footnote-anchor-2\" href=\"#footnote-2\" target=\"_self\">2</a></p><p>Dan's argument isn't a total ban on AI in the classroom, but to only allow AI for things that the students already know well.

But if you're still learning algebra, don't use the algebraic functions.</p></blockquote><p>Dan goes on to steelman a few objections toward the end of the <a href=\"https://dtwuva.substack.com/p/students-should-only-use-ai-for-things\">essay</a>.

Mai auf einem Parteitag beschlossen werden.</p>\n<h2>Kommentar des Open Research Office Berlin zu Berlins Wahlprogrammen</h2>\n<h3>Strategische Entwicklung von Open Access zu Open Research</h3>\n<p>Vor etwa zehn Jahren galt Berlin als Vorreiter der Open\u2011Access\u2011Bewegung. Um wissenschaftliches Wissen, das mit \u00f6ffentlichen Mitteln finanziert wird, der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zug\u00e4nglich zu machen, verabschiedete das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus 2015 die <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-26319\">Open-Access-Strategie Berlin</a> .</p>\n<p>Seitdem wurden mehrere <a href=\"https://oabb.pubpub.org/pub/oa-bericht-berlin-summary#zentrale-ergebnisse\">Ziele</a> erreicht. <a href=\"https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/open-research-berlin/2026/03/02/open-access-policies-von-charite-und-evangelischer-hochschule-veroeffentlicht-sowie-beauftragte-fuer-open-access-ernannt/\">Erstmals nach Verabschiedung</a> der Strategie haben inzwischen alle 14 Hochschulen in Berlin Open\u2011Access\u2011Beauftragte benannt, und 12 von 14 Hochschulen verf\u00fcgen \u00fcber eigene Open\u2011Access\u2011Policies. Das Land Berlin hat die Rahmenbedingungen f\u00fcr eine offene Wissenschaft kontinuierlich angepasst: Open Access wurde in den Hochschulvertr\u00e4gen verankert und seit 2021 sind Ziele f\u00fcr eine offene Wissenschaft im <a href=\"https://gesetze.berlin.de/bsbe/document/jlr-HSchulGBE2011V27P41\">Berliner Hochschulgesetz</a> festgeschrieben.</p>\n<p>Die Strategie schuf durch \u00fcbergeordnete Ma\u00dfnahmen sehr gute Voraussetzungen, das Thema im Forschungsraum Berlin weiter voranzubringen. Dazu z\u00e4hlen die Einrichtung einer Landeskoordination durch das Open Research Office Berlin, die Verstetigung des F\u00f6rderprogramms zur Digitalisierung des Kulturerbes und die Etablierung des Forschungs\u2011 und Kompetenzzentrums digiS.</p>\n<h3>Berlin bietet eine einzigartige Open-Research-Landschaft in Wissenschaft und Kulturerbe</h3>\n<p>Im Februar 2025 hat sich die landesweite Arbeitsgruppe auf Leitungsebene unter dem Namen <a href=\"https://www.open-research-berlin.de/strategie/AG-Landesinitiative/index.html\">Landesinitiative Open Research Berlin</a> neu konstituiert. Diese Arbeitsgruppe ist seit 2014 das zentrale Gremium zwischen den Wissenschafts\u2011 und Kulturerbe\u2011Einrichtungen und dem Land Berlin. Ihre Aufgaben sind unter anderem die Begleitung hochschulpolitischer Rahmenbedingungen und die F\u00f6rderung einrichtungs\u00fcbergreifender Kooperationen zum Thema Open Research.</p>\n<p>Der Kulturwandel hin zu offener Wissenschaft ist in Berlin deutlich sp\u00fcrbar und wird weiter voranschreiten. Ergebnisse des <a href=\"https://www.berlinsciencesurvey.de/de\">Berlin Science Survey</a> zeigen eine hohe Zustimmung zur offenen Wissenschaft. Parallel setzen nationale und internationale Initiativen Impulse \u2014 etwa die gemeinsamen <a href=\"https://www.bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/Publikationen/DE/1/772960_Open_Access_in_Deutschland.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&amp;v=5\">Leitlinien von Bund und L\u00e4ndern zu Open Access</a> in Deutschland, die europ\u00e4ische <a href=\"https://coara.eu/\">CoARA\u2011Erkl\u00e4rung f\u00fcr eine Reform der Forschungsbewertung</a> und die <a href=\"https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/recommendation\">UNESCO Open Science Recommendation</a>. Die Berlin University Alliance (BUA) verabschiedete im Herbst 2023 ein <a href=\"https://www.berlin-university-alliance.de/commitments/research-quality/open-science/Leitbild-fuer-OS/index.html\">Leitbild f\u00fcr offene Wissenschaft</a>; jede BUA\u2011Einrichtung hat inzwischen eigene <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-49556\">Priorit\u00e4ten</a> zur Umsetzung festgelegt.</p>\n<p>Das Open Research Office hat zudem <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.21428/986c5d43.9ea9c299\">Zielmarken</a> f\u00fcr die Open\u2011Research\u2011Strategie Berlin ver\u00f6ffentlicht und koordiniert aktuell die Ver\u00f6ffentlichung eines Diskussionspapiers der Landesinitiative Open Research Berlin.</p>\n<h3>Verpasst Berlin den Anschluss bei Open Research?</h3>\n<p>Open Research wird k\u00fcnftig st\u00e4rker als bisher die Qualit\u00e4t des Wissenschaftsstandorts Berlin mitbestimmen. Dabei umfasst Open Research mehr als Open\u2011Access\u2011Publikationen: Die Landesinitiative versteht Open Research als gleichwertige Arbeit in den Dom\u00e4nen Wissenschaft und Kultur und betont die Bedeutung verschiedener Wissenssysteme und Fachgemeinschaften. Im Sinne der UNESCO\u2011Empfehlung geh\u00f6ren dazu offene wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, offene Infrastrukturen sowie die Einbindung gesellschaftlicher Akteur*innen und der Dialog mit anderen Wissenssystemen.</p>\n<p>Die in Berlin etablierten Ma\u00dfnahmen sollten deshalb aufgegriffen, fortgef\u00fchrt und ausgebaut werden. In den aktuellen Entw\u00fcrfen der Wahlprogramme wird dies jedoch kaum umgesetzt.</p>\n<p>B\u00fcndnis 90/Die Gr\u00fcnen formulieren digitale Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t als Ziel und wollen Abh\u00e4ngigkeiten von propriet\u00e4ren, au\u00dfereurop\u00e4ischen Plattformen in Schulen und Hochschulen reduzieren. Die Rolle von Open Research und souver\u00e4nen, offenen Informationsinfrastrukturen f\u00fcr die Wissenschaft bleibt in ihrem Entwurf unerw\u00e4hnt.</p>\n<p>Die CDU Berlin fordert, Open\u2011Access\u2011Publikationen und offene Forschungsdaten \u00fcber Regelungen in den Hochschulvertr\u00e4gen zu unterst\u00fctzen. Das ist sinnvoll, wird jedoch seit Jahren bereits praktiziert und reicht bei weitem nicht aus.

For some researchers, it means access to training they would otherwise struggle to afford. For others, it is an opportunity to explore a new field, work through unfamiliar analytical methods, or find new ways to approach an existing research question.</p>\n<p>Through the <a href=\"https://blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2025-06-20-physalia-collaboration/\">Bioconductor\u2013Physalia collaboration</a>, Physalia offers two free places on eligible courses to researchers based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Bioconductor Community Manager coordinates the application process and works with the <a href=\"https://training.bioconductor.org/\">Training Committee</a> co-chairs on selecting participants, while Bioconductor helps promote the courses through its community channels. Between November 2025 and October 2026, the programme provided 18 sponsored places across nine courses, covering topics ranging from RNA-seq and proteomics to microbiome analysis, epigenomics and network biology.</p>\n<p>The aim is to make specialist training more accessible to researchers who might otherwise miss out on these opportunities. We asked participants what they found useful about their courses and how they planned to use what they had learned. Their responses offer a glimpse into the different ways the training connects with their work.</p>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"making-training-accessible\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"making-training-accessible\">Making training accessible</h2>\n<p>Access was a recurring theme in the feedback. For Blessing Chioma Oselu, a PhD student and Bioinformatics Research Assistant at Covenant University in Nigeria, the opportunity to attend the <em>Single-cell RNA-seq Analysis with R/Bioconductor</em> course meant learning directly from experts and having structured materials to return to afterward.</p>\n<p>\"The access to expert teaching and the structured materials were the most valuable parts for me,\" she wrote.</p>\n<p>Blessing plans to continue working through the recorded sessions at her own pace. For researchers balancing training with other commitments, being able to revisit course material can be just as useful as attending the live sessions.</p>\n<p>Another participant, from Benin, came to the <em>Epigenomics Data Analysis</em> course without previous experience in the subject. The step-by-step walkthroughs of methods including ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq helped make the material more manageable.</p>\n<p>\"I left the course at a clearly higher level than I started, and I feel ready to work with my own data when the time comes,\" the participant reflected.</p>\n<p>They also noted that opportunities like this are rare where they are based, and that support from Bioconductor and Physalia made a real difference.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"taking-new-methods-back-to-research\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"taking-new-methods-back-to-research\">Taking new methods back to research</h2>\n<p>Participants also described how the training related to questions they were already working on, or hoped to explore.</p>\n<p>For Amira M. F. Abozaid, a PhD student and Assistant Lecturer at Alexandria University and E-JUST in Egypt, the <em>RNA-seq data analysis with R/Bioconductor</em> course provided a deeper understanding of the RNA-seq workflow, from quality control and normalization to differential expression and visualization.</p>\n<p>Amira wrote that she had already started applying the workflows to her cancer genomics projects and sharing the skills with colleagues and students at her home institutions.</p>\n<p>Other participants were looking at different applications. Idris Ishola Adejumobi, a Research Associate at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria, described how the <em>Epigenomics Data Analysis</em> course broadened his understanding of how epigenetic variation can influence complex traits and complement genomic information in crop improvement. He also identified further training in the integration of epigenomic, genomic, and transcriptomic data as a useful next step for agricultural and plant-breeding research.</p>\n<p>Rabiath Adigoun, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin, highlighted the relevance of <em>Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis with Bioconductor</em> to her ongoing and future research on plant microbiomes.</p>\n<p>\"The expertise and methodological skills I have acquired will substantially strengthen my ongoing and future research on the plant microbiome in Benin and across Africa,\" she wrote.</p>\n<p>Sally Karimi Kinyua, a Research Assistant based in Kenya, attended the Network Analysis in Systems Biology with R/Bioconductor course. She hopes to apply what she learned about gene networks to research into mutations associated with malaria resistance. Sally also highlighted how the sponsored place gave her access to training that would otherwise have been out of reach because of limited resources.</p>\n<p>These examples span different fields, but the underlying theme is similar: participants are looking for ways to connect computational methods with the biological questions they want to answer.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"learning-to-work-with-unfamiliar-data\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"learning-to-work-with-unfamiliar-data\">Learning to work with unfamiliar data</h2>\n<p>Sometimes, what matters most is finding a way into a subject that initially seems difficult.</p>\n<p>A participant in the <em>Statistical Methods for Metatranscriptomics</em> course described how the practical sessions helped make complex concepts easier to follow. They particularly appreciated the explanations of foundational terminology before moving on to more technical material.</p>\n<p>The course also introduced them to ways of analysing microbial gene expression data using computational tools and reproducible workflows. Coming from a bachelor's degree background, they described it as one of their first deeper exposures to this area of bioinformatics.</p>\n<p>Another participant, Binod Rayamajhee, a Research Fellow at the Kathmandu Research Institute for Biological Sciences in Nepal, highlighted the course's combination of conceptual teaching and practical work with Bioconductor tools.</p>\n<p>The training relates directly to his work in microbiome data analysis, and he anticipates applying the methods to study host\u2013microbe interactions in bowel disease models.</p>\n<p>Binod also hopes to share what he learned through workshops and one-to-one mentoring with colleagues and junior researchers, particularly those working in resource-limited settings.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"sharing-what-comes-next\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"sharing-what-comes-next\">Sharing what comes next</h2>\n<p>Knowledge sharing appeared in several participants' reflections, whether through helping colleagues, teaching students, or bringing new analytical approaches into research groups.</p>\n<p>Sandra Achieng Otieno, an MSc student at icipe in Kenya, attended the microbiome analysis course. She was particularly interested in learning how to structure microbiome data using TreeSummarizedExperiment and how different transformations can affect downstream analyses, including diversity estimation and ordination.</p>\n<p>She hopes to apply these skills to research combining microbiome data with target gene expression and elemental analysis.</p>\n<p>As Sandra put it, the course gave her \"a clearer framework for integrating multi-omics biological data in a structured and reproducible way.\"</p>\n<p>For others, training may also open the door to contributing to Bioconductor itself. Marco Antonio Campan\u00e1rio Sampaio, a PhD student in Brazil who attended the Developing R/Bioconductor Packages for Genomics course, wrote, \"I hope to become a contributor to the Bioconductor community soon.\"</p>\n<p>These are plans at different stages, and their longer-term outcomes remain to be seen. Still, it is useful to hear participants identify specific methods they want to try, datasets they want to analyse, and colleagues with whom they hope to share their knowledge.</p>\n</section>\n<section class=\"level2\" id=\"continuing-the-conversation\">\n<h2 class=\"anchored\" data-anchor-id=\"continuing-the-conversation\">Continuing the conversation</h2>\n<p>The feedback collected so far gives us a better sense of what participants value in specialist bioinformatics training. Expert teaching and well-organised materials matter, as do practical exercises that make unfamiliar methods easier to approach. Just as importantly, participants want to connect what they learn to their own research.</p>\n<p>We would like to thank everyone who shared their reflections, along with the instructors and organisers who contributed to the courses. We'd also like to thank Laurah Nyasita Ondari for helping promote these opportunities through Bioconductor's social media channels.</p>\n<p>We hope to hear from participants again as they put their new skills into practice. In the meantime, their experiences offer a useful reminder of why access to training matters: it gives researchers more opportunities to learn new methods, explore their research questions, and contribute to the scientific communities around them.</p>\n<p>For the full list of the Physalia courses and workshops, please visit <a href=\"https://www.physalia-courses.org\">www.physalia-courses.org</a>.

Note that one cell may contain multiple CAS\nnumbers separated by newlines. The <code>csv</code> export may have introduced quotes to\ndelimit these multiline cells. Those quotes have to be removed, too. The result\nis a one column <code>csv</code> file with exactly one CAS ID per line.

At the same time, non-native fish species that have since become established in the peripheral areas of floodplains and other wetland habitats were also examined, and their impact on ecosystems was discussed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes these fish special is their ability to cope with conditions under which many other species could not survive. In small, muddy bodies of water, oxygen levels can be very low at times. The fish species found there are adapted to these extreme conditions and can therefore provide important insights into the state of their habitat. This means that fish inhabiting wetlands are much more than just rare species. They can serve as indicators of the ecological health of their habitats. If these specialized fish are struggling, this often points to changes or a deterioration in the entire ecosystem.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425-1024x549.jpg?resize=840%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Distribution of Umbra krameri in Hungary\" class=\"wp-image-21174\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1024%2C549&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=768%2C412&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1536%2C823&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?resize=1200%2C643&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.pensoft.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/oo_1804425.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Distribution patterns of <em><em>Umbra</em> <em>krameri</em></em> in Hungary in the past 50 years.

Seit 1878 unterst\u00fctzt es dabei, technisches Wissen und Informationen \u00fcber Schutzrechte zug\u00e4nglich und nutzbar zu machen. Heute ist das PIZ das einzige Patentinformationszentrum in Niedersachsen und Kooperationspartner des Deutschen Patent- und Markenamts.</p>\n<p>Zu den kostenfreien Basisdiensten geh\u00f6ren Informationen und Fachliteratur zu Patenten und gewerblichen Schutzrechten, Unterst\u00fctzung bei Recherchen in Patent- und Schutzrechtsdatenbanken sowie Informationen zu nationalen und internationalen Schutzrechtsverfahren.

F\u00fcr spezialisierte Recherchen, Analysen oder Patentstatistiken werden geeignete Anbieter und Einrichtungen vermittelt. Auch bei Fragen zu Verwertung, Schutzrechtsmanagement oder F\u00f6rderm\u00f6glichkeiten verweist das PIZ auf die jeweils zust\u00e4ndigen Stellen.</p>\n<p>So bietet das PIZ einen kostenfreien, neutralen und niedrigschwelligen Zugang zu Informationen und Orientierung im Netzwerk der Schutzrechts- und F\u00f6rderangebote.</p>\n<h2>Patentrecherche als Br\u00fccke</h2>\n<p>F\u00fcr Forschende beginnt der Mehrwert oft schon vor einer Patentanmeldung: Welche L\u00f6sungen gibt es bereits?

Welche Entwicklungen sind neu \u2013 und wo gibt es Ankn\u00fcpfungspunkte f\u00fcr die eigene Forschung?</p>\n<p>Eine Patentrecherche kann dabei auch helfen, Unternehmen, Forschungseinrichtungen oder andere Akteure zu identifizieren, die an \u00e4hnlichen Technologien arbeiten und als m\u00f6gliche Kooperationspartner infrage kommen.</p>\n<p>Patentinformationen k\u00f6nnen damit eine Br\u00fccke zwischen wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis und technologischer Entwicklung bilden.</p>\n<h2>Von der Publikation zur Patentinformation</h2>\n<p>Ein Beispiel f\u00fcr diese Verbindung ist die Patentdatenbank Orbit Intelligence.

It was a guy asking me if I was missing a tortoise. I was not, but I was curious, so I went to go see what was up.</p>\n<p>The situation in a nutshell: a decent-sized male Sulcata or African spurred tortoise, <em>Centrochelys sulcata</em>, had gotten loose from somewhere. The guy who rang my doorbell had seen it crossing the street in front of my house, which is reasonably busy in the late afternoon on a Friday. He didn&#8217;t want the tortoise to get hurt, so he pulled over and parked his car, moved the tortoise to a sidewalk, and called Animal Control.

That&#8217;s human blood on the plastron, from the knuckles of the other guy who helped me scoot the tortoise to freedom.</p></div>\n<p>At this point, several facts about tortoises in general and about this particular tortoise become relevant:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Chances are that any tortoise of this size would have gotten wedged under the minivan.</li>\n<li>This particular tortoise had gotten improper nutrition when it was young &#8212; too much protein for a species that mostly eats grass, leading to too-rapid growth and a carapace that was not smooth but pyramided. The too-tall, hook-shaped scutes were just perfect for getting caught on the various metal bars and pipes on the underside of an automobile.</li>\n<li>Turtles and tortoises are <em>unbelievably</em> strong for their size, to a degree that is probably hard to imagine if you&#8217;ve never kept one. This male Sulcata was about 70lbs (I feel pretty qualified to guess since my dogs are currently 60 and 82lbs), and when he felt threatened he would dig his feet in and stand up as tall as he could. When he did that, he raised the minivan on its suspension by about a finger&#8217;s width.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"26055\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/tortoise-under-minivan-post/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5712,4284\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Tortoise under minivan &amp;#8211; post\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26055 aligncenter\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/tortoise-under-minivan-post.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a></p>\n<p>Now the dimensions of the problem are clear. We couldn&#8217;t use a jack to lift the minivan, which didn&#8217;t belong to any of us &#8212; not the tortoise-finder, the tortoise-minder, nor me &#8212; but rather to a random semi-neighbor whose driveway happened to be tortoise-accessible. Absent lifting the vehicle, the only way to free the stuck tortoise was to sort of Tetris it backwards out of the tortuous mechanical cul-de-sac its pyramided scutes were stuck in. But every time we pushed or pulled on the tortoise, it would balk, dig its feet in, and stand up, slightly lifting the minivan and absolutely locking itself in place between a cement slab and a two-ton vehicle. So the program we settled on was this: wait for the tortoise to relax and lower its plastron to the ground, then slide it about an inch toward freedom, at which point it would freak out, stand up, and lock in, then we&#8217;d wait for it to relax again, vamp &#8217;til fade.</p>\n<p>Did I mention that it was a 70lb tortoise and we were lying full-length on the cement, arms outstretched, pushing and pulling with fingertips? It took a long time, and it was tiring. But also pretty cool, because hey, awesome animal encounter. Now I can add one-time tortoise-rescuer to <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2012/03/02/ratites-at-the-ok-corral/\">one-time ostrich-herder</a> and <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2022/07/29/a-close-fast-encounter-with-a-pronghorn/\">one-time pronghorn-racer</a> on my life list.

He promptly took off at a blistering 1mph, but the small group on on-lookers herded him away from the street and away from any other vehicles to hide under. While they were doing that, I ran back across the street and got a collapsible wagon out of the garage. Got the tortoise into the wagon, shook hands all around, and tortoise-sat him for the five minutes or so until Animal Control arrived. I didn&#8217;t mean to end up in charge of a tortoise, but everyone else had other places to be, and when they heard that I was a professional biologist with a lot of first-hand turtle experience, my fate was sealed.</p>\n<div data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_26060\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26060\" data-attachment-id=\"26060\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1350\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"2026-10-09 Sulcata rescue &amp;#8211; dragon butt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-26060 size-large\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-dragon-butt.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTW can we get some respect for the dragon-level scales and spurs on this tortoise&#8217;s hindlimbs and butt?

Sulcatas are reasonably popular in the pet trade, because they are cute as heck when they are little, and not everyone fully thinks through the commitment of owning an animal that can grow to 200lbs, dig a burrow 100 feet long, and live 150 or 200 years. From everything I&#8217;ve ever read and from my own personal experience, essentially all turtles and tortoises are champion diggers, surprisingly good climbers, and otherwise gifted escape artists. More than one person has said they&#8217;re surprised I didn&#8217;t volunteer to keep this tortoise. I was tempted &#8212; for about five seconds. But a Sulcata is a lifestyle choice, and one I am not prepared for. I don&#8217;t want to be the distraught owner with a two-foot hole under the backyard fence and a beloved pet loose in suburbia, crossing busy streets&#8230;slowly. Besides, I already have a turtle, and Easty and <a href=\"https://svpow.com/2026/06/24/dogs-are-experiments-in-applied-genetics/\">the dogs</a> are plenty of pet action for me right now (and yes, my son London understands that with any luck, Easty will become his responsibility after I&#8217;m gone &#8212; box turtles are also century-plus commitments).</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"26063\" data-permalink=\"http://svpow.com/2026/10/12/fridays-impromptu-tortoise-rescue/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face/\" data-orig-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5712,4284\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"2026-10-09 Sulcata rescue &amp;#8211; face to face\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26063 aligncenter\" src=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=480\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=480 480w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=960 960w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=150 150w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=300 300w, https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-09-sulcata-rescue-face-to-face.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" /></a></p>\n<p>Anyway, the Animal Control guys confirmed that they get these big tortoises fairly often, they know how to care for them, and if the owner of this particular tortoise doesn&#8217;t come forward to claim him, he&#8217;ll go to a tortoise rescue.

It was the way he set up the argument by contrasting the objectives of the workplace versus education.</p><p><strong>In the workplace, the product is the thing</strong>. The report, the grant proposal, the manuscript, the R package, the Python notebook, the pitch deck, whatever. The product is the thing that matters, and here we all agree to this ideal that the human should be the lead in the driver's seat, with AI being the associate.<a class=\"footnote-anchor\" data-component-name=\"FootnoteAnchorToDOM\" id=\"footnote-anchor-1\" href=\"#footnote-1\" target=\"_self\">1</a> </p><p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.stephenturner.us/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}\" data-component-name=\"ButtonCreateButton\"><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https://blog.stephenturner.us/subscribe?\"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p><strong>In education, the product doesn't matter.</strong> The product isn't the point at all.</p><blockquote><p>Students produce products, but the product is seldom the point. No one wants to read the papers they write, and the math problems they solve have no practical value. Teachers have them do these tasks because they provide practice in cognitive abilities that we think matter.</p></blockquote><p>The the R/Bioconductor exercises or the journal club-like essays from landmark genomics papers I assign in my class have zero value to the outside world. They exist purely so that a student practices integrating evidence, thinking about how to tackle a problem with code (even if they'll write that code later with an AI like I do), how to build up a persuasive argument.<a class=\"footnote-anchor\" data-component-name=\"FootnoteAnchorToDOM\" id=\"footnote-anchor-2\" href=\"#footnote-2\" target=\"_self\">2</a></p><p>Dan's argument isn't a total ban on AI in the classroom, but to only allow AI for things that the students already know well. He draws an analogy to calculators.</p><blockquote><p>Once you've mastered arithmetic operations, there's no benefit to hand calculations when you're solving an algebra problem. But if you're still learning algebra, don't use the algebraic functions.</p></blockquote><p>Dan goes on to steelman a few objections toward the end of the <a href=\"https://dtwuva.substack.com/p/students-should-only-use-ai-for-things\">essay</a>.

Mai auf einem Parteitag beschlossen werden.</p>\n<h2>Kommentar des Open Research Office Berlin zu Berlins Wahlprogrammen</h2>\n<h3>Strategische Entwicklung von Open Access zu Open Research</h3>\n<p>Vor etwa zehn Jahren galt Berlin als Vorreiter der Open\u2011Access\u2011Bewegung. Um wissenschaftliches Wissen, das mit \u00f6ffentlichen Mitteln finanziert wird, der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zug\u00e4nglich zu machen, verabschiedete das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus 2015 die <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-26319\">Open-Access-Strategie Berlin</a> .</p>\n<p>Seitdem wurden mehrere <a href=\"https://oabb.pubpub.org/pub/oa-bericht-berlin-summary#zentrale-ergebnisse\">Ziele</a> erreicht. <a href=\"https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/open-research-berlin/2026/03/02/open-access-policies-von-charite-und-evangelischer-hochschule-veroeffentlicht-sowie-beauftragte-fuer-open-access-ernannt/\">Erstmals nach Verabschiedung</a> der Strategie haben inzwischen alle 14 Hochschulen in Berlin Open\u2011Access\u2011Beauftragte benannt, und 12 von 14 Hochschulen verf\u00fcgen \u00fcber eigene Open\u2011Access\u2011Policies. Das Land Berlin hat die Rahmenbedingungen f\u00fcr eine offene Wissenschaft kontinuierlich angepasst: Open Access wurde in den Hochschulvertr\u00e4gen verankert und seit 2021 sind Ziele f\u00fcr eine offene Wissenschaft im <a href=\"https://gesetze.berlin.de/bsbe/document/jlr-HSchulGBE2011V27P41\">Berliner Hochschulgesetz</a> festgeschrieben.</p>\n<p>Die Strategie schuf durch \u00fcbergeordnete Ma\u00dfnahmen sehr gute Voraussetzungen, das Thema im Forschungsraum Berlin weiter voranzubringen. Dazu z\u00e4hlen die Einrichtung einer Landeskoordination durch das Open Research Office Berlin, die Verstetigung des F\u00f6rderprogramms zur Digitalisierung des Kulturerbes und die Etablierung des Forschungs\u2011 und Kompetenzzentrums digiS.</p>\n<h3>Berlin bietet eine einzigartige Open-Research-Landschaft in Wissenschaft und Kulturerbe</h3>\n<p>Im Februar 2025 hat sich die landesweite Arbeitsgruppe auf Leitungsebene unter dem Namen <a href=\"https://www.open-research-berlin.de/strategie/AG-Landesinitiative/index.html\">Landesinitiative Open Research Berlin</a> neu konstituiert. Diese Arbeitsgruppe ist seit 2014 das zentrale Gremium zwischen den Wissenschafts\u2011 und Kulturerbe\u2011Einrichtungen und dem Land Berlin. Ihre Aufgaben sind unter anderem die Begleitung hochschulpolitischer Rahmenbedingungen und die F\u00f6rderung einrichtungs\u00fcbergreifender Kooperationen zum Thema Open Research.</p>\n<p>Der Kulturwandel hin zu offener Wissenschaft ist in Berlin deutlich sp\u00fcrbar und wird weiter voranschreiten. Ergebnisse des <a href=\"https://www.berlinsciencesurvey.de/de\">Berlin Science Survey</a> zeigen eine hohe Zustimmung zur offenen Wissenschaft. Parallel setzen nationale und internationale Initiativen Impulse \u2014 etwa die gemeinsamen <a href=\"https://www.bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/Publikationen/DE/1/772960_Open_Access_in_Deutschland.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&amp;v=5\">Leitlinien von Bund und L\u00e4ndern zu Open Access</a> in Deutschland, die europ\u00e4ische <a href=\"https://coara.eu/\">CoARA\u2011Erkl\u00e4rung f\u00fcr eine Reform der Forschungsbewertung</a> und die <a href=\"https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/recommendation\">UNESCO Open Science Recommendation</a>. Die Berlin University Alliance (BUA) verabschiedete im Herbst 2023 ein <a href=\"https://www.berlin-university-alliance.de/commitments/research-quality/open-science/Leitbild-fuer-OS/index.html\">Leitbild f\u00fcr offene Wissenschaft</a>; jede BUA\u2011Einrichtung hat inzwischen eigene <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-49556\">Priorit\u00e4ten</a> zur Umsetzung festgelegt.</p>\n<p>Das Open Research Office hat zudem <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.21428/986c5d43.9ea9c299\">Zielmarken</a> f\u00fcr die Open\u2011Research\u2011Strategie Berlin ver\u00f6ffentlicht und koordiniert aktuell die Ver\u00f6ffentlichung eines Diskussionspapiers der Landesinitiative Open Research Berlin.</p>\n<h3>Verpasst Berlin den Anschluss bei Open Research?</h3>\n<p>Open Research wird k\u00fcnftig st\u00e4rker als bisher die Qualit\u00e4t des Wissenschaftsstandorts Berlin mitbestimmen. Dabei umfasst Open Research mehr als Open\u2011Access\u2011Publikationen: Die Landesinitiative versteht Open Research als gleichwertige Arbeit in den Dom\u00e4nen Wissenschaft und Kultur und betont die Bedeutung verschiedener Wissenssysteme und Fachgemeinschaften. Im Sinne der UNESCO\u2011Empfehlung geh\u00f6ren dazu offene wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, offene Infrastrukturen sowie die Einbindung gesellschaftlicher Akteur*innen und der Dialog mit anderen Wissenssystemen.</p>\n<p>Die in Berlin etablierten Ma\u00dfnahmen sollten deshalb aufgegriffen, fortgef\u00fchrt und ausgebaut werden. In den aktuellen Entw\u00fcrfen der Wahlprogramme wird dies jedoch kaum umgesetzt.</p>\n<p>B\u00fcndnis 90/Die Gr\u00fcnen formulieren digitale Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t als Ziel und wollen Abh\u00e4ngigkeiten von propriet\u00e4ren, au\u00dfereurop\u00e4ischen Plattformen in Schulen und Hochschulen reduzieren. Die Rolle von Open Research und souver\u00e4nen, offenen Informationsinfrastrukturen f\u00fcr die Wissenschaft bleibt in ihrem Entwurf unerw\u00e4hnt.</p>\n<p>Die CDU Berlin fordert, Open\u2011Access\u2011Publikationen und offene Forschungsdaten \u00fcber Regelungen in den Hochschulvertr\u00e4gen zu unterst\u00fctzen. Das ist sinnvoll, wird jedoch seit Jahren bereits praktiziert und reicht bei weitem nicht aus. Der Einsatz f\u00fcr ein wissenschaftsfreundliches Urheber\u2011, Nutzungs\u2011 und Verwertungsrecht, um den rechtlich gesicherten Ausbau von Open\u2011Access\u2011 und Open\u2011Data\u2011Angeboten zu erm\u00f6glichen, ist hingegen eine zentrale Forderung des Open Research Office Berlin.</p>\n<p>Das Wahlprogramm der SPD Berlin bleibt vage: Es verweist im Wesentlichen auf zentrale Digitalisierungskompetenzen und will Open\u2011Source\u2011Software sowie offene Standards vorantreiben, um die digitale Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t zu st\u00e4rken.</p>\n<p>Nur Die Linke Berlin adressiert neben Open Access auch ausdr\u00fccklich Open Science und Open Research. Sie will Open Science durch gezielte F\u00f6rderung ausbauen und Forschende sowie Lehrende st\u00e4rker darin unterst\u00fctzen, ihre Ergebnisse im Sinne von Open Research und Open Access der Allgemeinheit zug\u00e4nglich zu machen. Zudem benennt Die Linke Berlin die Senatsverwaltung als wichtigen Partner zur Gestaltung und Begleitung dieser Prozesse.</p>\n<p>Dar\u00fcber hinaus fordert Die Linke Berlin die Einbindung gesellschaftlicher Akteur*innen: Hochschulen sollen nicht nur ihre wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse in geeigneter Form der Stadtgesellschaft zur Verf\u00fcgung stellen, sondern gemeinsam mit ihr Forschungsfragen entwickeln.</p>\n<p>Wir hoffen, dass die Parteien in ihren Programmentw\u00fcrfen noch nachjustieren und Open Research st\u00e4rker ber\u00fccksichtigen. \u00dcber Entwicklungen und Debatten berichten wir regelm\u00e4\u00dfig auf unserem Blog.</p>\n<h3>Weitere Analysen</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Open Research Office Berlin, Maxi Kindling, Maike Neufend, Georg Fischer (2024).<i><a href=\"https://doi.org/10.21428/986c5d43.fbe0cdfa\"> Open-Access-Bericht Berlin</a>: </i>https://doi.org/10.21428/986c5d43.fbe0cdfa.</li>\n<li>Heinz Pampel (20.1.2025): <a href=\"https://wisspub.net/2025/01/20/open-science-in-den-wahlprogrammen-zur-bundestagswahl-2025/\">Open Science in den Wahlprogrammen zur Bundestagswahl 2025</a>: https://wisspub.net/2025/01/20/open-science-in-den-wahlprogrammen-zur-bundestagswahl-2025/.</li>\n<li>Open Research Office Berlin (8.12.2021): <a href=\"https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/open-research-berlin/2021/12/08/wieviel-offene-wissenschaft-ist-drin/\">Wieviel offene Wissenschaft ist drin?</a> Open Access und Open Science in den Koalitionsvertr\u00e4gen und Wahlprogrammen im Bund und in Berlin: https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/open-research-berlin/2021/12/08/wieviel-offene-wissenschaft-ist-drin/</li>\n<li><span aria-hidden=\"true\">Linda Martin, Maike Neufend, Maxi Kindling (2024). <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.21428/986c5d43.856afa0c\">4 | Berlin</a>.
