CodeRefinery workshop March 17-19 and 24-26, 2026 Free workshop on git, testing, documentation, and more in a workshop - for researchers and scientists.

Few days before @coderefinery.org workshop, Spring 2026! This year, on top of the usual hands-on teaching of git, GitHub, reproducibility, good coding practices we have something new: "Responsible Use of Generative AI in Assisted Coding"!

The workshop is 100% free and happens entirely via TwitchTV

Album cover of Voxtrot - Dreamers in exile. A black and white photo of a person only partially visible holding some flowers over a back of a chair.

I will be very surprised if this won’t be my favourite album of 2026. Indiepop heaven and what a return after 19 (!) years.

MicroSEA (Microbial Sea Eukaryotes) course is a one-week, field-based summer school to train early-career researchers in the diversity, ecology, and single-cell biology of marine protists. MicroSEA course integrates lectures, field sampling, and lab-based practicals in advanced techniques, such as flow cytometry, microscopy, culturing, and molecular analysis. The main objectives of MicroSEA course are: Fostering a deep understanding of marine protist diversity, ecology and biology; Providing hands-on training in advanced single-cell methods that are not commonly available in university programs; Building participants' confidence in designing and conducting research projects from field to data analysis; Promoting international collaborations and peer networking among students and speakers/trainers. The course will take place at the Station Biologique de Roscoff - SBR (France) - 7th to 12th of June, 2026 (arrival on the 6th, departure on the 13th). 20 participants will be selected, including 10 from EuroMarine member institutes. https://opbc.sciencesconf.org/

Protist lovers: Please apply for a week of rhapsody! Learn by doing:

A digital twin for real-time biodiversity forecasting with citizen science data - Nature Ecology & Evolution Citizen science data are increasingly used in biodiversity monitoring. This study applies a digital twin approach to biodiversity monitoring using a large citizen science dataset on birds from Finland...

Glad to share our new paper in Nat Ecol Evol, where we present the world’s most accurate model for predicting bird occurrences.

Suomen Akatemian jättirahoituksen saanut tutkijayhteisö haluaa kääntää katseet suolle - huippuyksikkö aloitti jo työt Planeetan hiilestä noin kolmannes on sitoutuneena soihin. Ilmastonmuutoksesta on tähän asti keskusteltu paljon metsien ja merten kautta. On tullut suon vuoro.

YLE uutisoi 5 milj. € rahoituksen saaneen Suot, ilmastonmuutos ja ennallistaminen -huippuyksikön työn käynnistymisestä.

Merkittävä tunnustus ja mahdollisuus suomalaiselle suotutkimukselle.
