I'm interested in your feedback on 5 proposed principles for interoperating cloud based data platforms. Please see bit.ly/222QYY #DataSharing #OpenData #DataCommons #OpenScience #DataInteroperability

This is a reminder to always be very nice to your colleagues involved w/ #DataCuration. They never get enough credit. I was reminded about this today by Ben Heavner. The image below is from #FraminghamHeartStudy. Variable MF74 w/ categories 0001-0007 codes cigarette smoking

This is a very nice step forward for #DataSharing and #DataEcosystems for #ChildhoodCancer.

The Center for Translational Data Science (@UChicagoCTDS ) and the Open Commons Consortium (Open Commons Consortium) are both hiring, including those transitioning to biomedical data science: see bit.ly/biomedical-dat…

Why radio frequency interference matters - The roadmap for 5G broadcast signals vs microwave sensors mounted on polar-orbiting satellites to power NOAA weather forecasts. Andrew Freedman has a very nice article washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/1… in the The Washington Post

Nice article in Bio-IT World (zpr.io/tAEfF) how Bristol-Myers Squibb used #Gen3 from @UChicagoCTDS and worked with BioTeam to build a data commons for their internal use. You too can build a #datacommons.

Today 2020-02-02 is a #palindrome day (ignoring punctuation) when written using the ISO 8601 format YYYYMMDD. It's the 47th day with this #symmetry in the last 1,000 years or so. See blog.sumymus.de/palindrome-day… for a nice summary and when the next ones are coming.

The #DataEcosystem of #Gen3 #DataCommons & other resources built over Gen3 #FrameworkServices (#G3FS) now includes over 12 data commons, 600,000 subjects, 45M data objects, and 8.4 PB of data. Great work by @UChicagoCTDS, Open Commons Consortium & their partners. #DataSharing #DataDiscovery

The BLOODPAC Working Group on #preanalytical variables recommended for the analysis of cell-free DNA (#cfDNA) test, design & development published online today its 11 recommended #DataElements: ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A thoughtful Medium post about being careful with #COVID19 visualizations - Ten Considerations Before you Create another Chart about COVID-19 by Amanda Makulec MPH in Data Visualization Society link.medium.com/n9hfaJ5jM4

I'm so sad to hear this. He was a wonderful person and Galaxy is a wonderful project.

Happy Fourth of July!

The #PandemicResponseCommons is bootstrapping a privacy preserving app (your location is not tracked nor is any identifying info collected) to identify #COVID19 hotspots. Please donate your data (covidstoplight.org). Maps will be posted as soon as the data is stat. sig.

In the category of problems that are simple to state, but hard to prove: Bloom & Sisask show arxiv.org/abs/2007.03528: If a list A is dense enough so that the sum of the reciprocals is infinite, then A contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. #Erdos conjecture

Great overview by John Wilbanks on NIH Data Management and #datasharing policy (final version)

New Post: An Ode to Stable Interfaces, and Praise To Base R and R Core In which I run code I posted fourteen years ago: it works unaltered. That should be cherished, celebrated--and encouraged. We need more examples like this. dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2021/03/2… #rstats #reproducibility

We have been building #DataCommons to accelerate scientific research via #DataSharing for over a decade. This recent article nature.com/articles/s4159… captures 10 lessons from this experience.
