In a Scientific First, Mice Engineered With Rat Neurons Show Advanced Sensory Skills
Researchers at Columbia University have engineered mice with part-rat, part-mouse brains that allow them to smell as rats do. This breakthrough demonstrates the brain's capacity to integrate foreign cells and could advance our understanding of and ability to treat human brain diseases. If mice ev

RIP Daniel #Kahneman. Thoughts from last year:
"...*Thinking, Fast and Slow* was a life-changer for me. As soon as I read it in 2013, I urged colleagues to read it, even convening a book club."
"I can *feel* the move in my mind from the constant important work of System 1 to the deliberative work of System 2. Knowing how often my intuition has been a hindrance to my understanding of the world, I welcome the feeling of going to the place where the adult is in charge."

Workflow Mini-Apps: Portable, Scalable, Tunable & Faithful Representations of Scientific Workflows
Workflows are critical for scientific discovery. However, the sophistication, heterogeneity, and scale of workflows make building, testing, and optimizing them increasingly challenging. Furthermore, their complexity and heterogeneity make performance reproducibility hard. In this paper, we propose workflow mini-apps as a tool to address the challenges in building and testing workflows while controlling the fidelity of representing realworld workflows. Workflow mini-apps are deployed and run on …

How to Sustain a Scientific Open-Source Software Ecosystem: Learning from the Astropy Project
Scientific open-source software (OSS) has greatly benefited research communities through its transparent and collaborative nature. Given its critical role in scientific research, ensuring the sustainability of such software has become vital. Earlier studies have proposed sustainability strategies for conventional scientific software and open-source communities. However, it remains unclear whether these solutions can be easily adapted to the integrated framework of scientific OSS and its larger …

SciCapenter: Supporting Caption Composition for Scientific Figures with Machine-Generated Captions and Ratings
Crafting effective captions for figures is important. Readers heavily depend on these captions to grasp the figure's message. However, despite a well-developed set of AI technologies for figures and captions, these have rarely been tested for usefulness in aiding caption writing. This paper introduces SciCapenter, an interactive system that puts together cutting-edge AI technologies for scientific figure captions to aid caption composition. SciCapenter generates a variety of captions for each f…
