It’s fun to talk science and cyber infrastructure sometimes. Sometimes it’s fun to make puns, and sometimes you just want to be cool like everyone else on here.

Really exciting to see the SISAL and speleothem community working with @neotomadb.bsky.social to improve a whole-environment understanding of the past! #kr10 #paleoecology #paleoclimatology
A workshop group learning about the integration of speleothem data from SISAL into the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. People are arranged around a square table, while the presented talks.

It's a small thing, but thanks to all the African researchers who have been contributing records to the African Pollen Database, the plot of African data in Neotoma now actually looks like Africa. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! #paleoecology #pollen #APD
A plot of Neotoma sample sites from Africa plotted using R. Each sample site is represented by a single circle on a graph of latitude by longitude. The point cloud generated by these sites looks like the continent of Africa.

New op ed estimating the replacement value of community curated data resources and "long tail" data they contain by me, Jack Williams, @sjgoring.bsky.social and Jessica Blois. We've been working on this for a while, and it now feels both timely and out of date: eos.org/opinions/the...

So much stuff going on! We’re getting ready to finish uploading a database of European ostracodes, building tools to work with #speleothem researchers around the world, and getting ready to meet a fantastic group of #aeDNA folks for one of our next grants. Neotoma really is one big packrat midden!
