#Chemistry #Data Days 25 ⚗️

This year we have two clear topics: the first day is about ' #Research #Data #Management in #teaching’ with many practical contributions from lecturers who are successfully working in this field. The second day deals with ‘Tools for the entire digital life cycle’ and is aimed specifically at #chemists and related disciplines.

Mainz, 🗓️3 and 4 June 2025

I know I'm getting old, or dare I hope to say, wise, because I can't shake the feeling that any and all demonstrable #productivity gains generated by the use of #AI could be outweighed by simply #teaching people to use and manipulate structured plain text efficiently.

Likewise, teaching new #engineers to do those basic things well instead of jumping straight to "this is how you install the latest framework".

#chemistry people:

We're working on pH and acid base equilibria in one of my classes. If I had them do a lab where they prepare two solutions - acetic + ammonium hydroxide - at known concentrations, measure pH, and then calculate Ka/Kb, are there other extensions that would make it more rigorous?

We have not done buffers or weak titrations yet - I'm slowly working my way there.

Hey #history and #maritime and #shipping expert people:

Here's a dataset about #whaling with some variables I don't understand (neither do the students using it for an intro #statistics project). If you have any insight into what these variables/terms mean, will you share that?

  • Number of whales struck (does this mean "harpooned," maybe?)
  • Number of whales tried out (no idea)

The data are here:

Happy Monday!

Today, chemistry students are looking at properties of acids & bases and then testing various chemicals for those properties.

Advanced chem is learning about strong/weak acids and bases and prepping to do a lab comparing pH of strong/weak acids at varying concentrations. Might see if they can get one of each to the same pH.

Web dev is proposing updates to a school website based on a comprehensive audit.

"Bowen Yang’s high school teacher reflects on his incredible journey"

YouTube served this up to me. (I don't normally watch this show.)

It's worth being reminded of how important public schools are as a safe space for students (which is why Christofascists have long wanted to destroy public schooling).

File formats as Emoji: 0xffae


by @beet_keeper

tldr: https://emoji.exponentialdecay.co.uk

File Formats As Emoji (0xFFAE or 0xffae) might be my most random file format hack yet. Indeed, it is a random page generator! But it generates random pages of file formats represented as Emoji.

The idea came in 2016 with radare releasing a new version that supported an emoji hexdump. I wondered whether I could do something fun combining file formats and the radare output to create a web-page.

Along came a spare moment one weekend, some pyscript, and bit of sqlite, et voilà. File Formats as Emoji (0xFFAE) was made a reality.
