If you are bold enough to require the usage of legal names, then you bloody well should accept legal names @Venmo, rather than butcher them with a limited alphabet. #dei

ALT Blue text-based graphic with a quote excerpt from UAW 4121's statement to UW.
Regularly hearing sentences from scientists and bosses like "Tools are critical" is why I really like working at @NASA_IRSA / @caltechipac . And the nicest part is that it's not an empty statement you may hear elsewhere, I feel technical expertise and tasks are indeed valued here
ALT A hand drawn scriberia image in pink and greyscale populate the right side of the digital flier. There is a hand-drawn globe featuring markers and text bubbles in different geographies, connected by a pink dashed line as if communicating with each other. On the right side of the globe is a path where people are writing on computers and on paper, with the dashed line following them. The line continues to show a person reviewing text and writing, which converges into books. The title says "Book Dash Applications are open! 22-26 May 2023, London, UK (and worldwide!)". Subtitle says: "Apply to: participate in a week-long event with The Turing Way community, meet other community members from around the world, join an ongoing project or team, Host a local hub within your university, city or region." Below in small text: "Have any questions about the application process? Email The Turing Way team: theturingway@gmail.com. Contact the Community Manager: Anne Lee Steele, asteele@turing.ac.uk".
RADIS is participating in Google Summer of Code @GoogleOSS again this year, as part of the @Open_Astronomy . 2 projects were released and a 3rd is underway : openastronomy.org/gsoc/gsoc2…. Check them out and other OA projects !
I am happy to share what the applications for our paid #opensource internships at @quansightai are now open 🎊
This is a great opportunity for students, recent graduates, career changers, and tech returners to work on #opensource projects for 3 months

. @NumFOCUS will be participating in Google Summer of Code 2023 (@GoogleOSS) again this year (9th summer!).
Interested in working on the tools in the @PyData, @JuliaLanguage ecosystem (with a sweet stipend)?
Look at various great projects under the @NumFOCUS umbrella ->
It's quite claustrophobic here @AlaskaAir and no one cares, all the while the last rows kept closed off. Maybe note these windowless window seats during the booking process.

ALT Screen shot from job description. Text reads: “We are recruiting two Research Application Managers who will work to embed the expertise in the TPS, Turing Way, and open source communities in the TRIC:DT, and to ensure that research outputs are adopted successfully across multiple domains within academia, government, the charity sector and industry.
The Research Application Manager (RAM) at the Turing builds and nurtures the connections with users of research outputs and brings back the user perspective to researchers and research engineers. RAMs work in a dedicated team focused on ensuring that research outputs such as open source tools are used successfully and sustainably by external stakeholders. The key goal for the RAMs will be to maximise the interoperability between different TRIC:DT outputs, as well as to ensure that those outputs are easily accessible and practically useful to diverse stakeholders across a broad partner ecosystem.”

ALT Screenshot from the job description. Text reads: “We are recruiting a Senior Community Manager to lead on reproducibility, interoperability and communication efforts within the TRIC:DT to ensure access and democratisation of Digital Twin (DT) technology. They will support the curation, documentation and open sharing of concrete, compelling case studies that illustrate the power of DTs and act as exemplars for tool development for wider dissemination and provide nuclei around which we will build a national DT research community. The position holder will embed the expertise and missions of TPS, The Turing Way and broader open source communities into the initiative to enable knowledge exchange across all stakeholders. Their work will ensure that this investment delivers interdisciplinary collaborations and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) outputs that are greater than the sum of their parts.”
Attending a session about networking at #AAS241, it's interesting to hear of the intensely competitive culture in academia in the US and the pressure put on early career researchers... I wonder if a culture of caring, more than competition, would be more beneficial for all...
Are you at #AAS241 and have a question, concern, or idea for #PyVO or @astroquerypy? @Tom_Donaldson and @AstroBrigi are holding office hours from 4:30 to 6:30 pm today (Mon., Jan. 9) at the Caltech IPAC booth 615 in Exhibit Hall. Stop by for an informal chat!
ALT This graphic provides details about PyVO and Astroquery office hours held at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Tom Donaldson of Space Telescope Institute (STScI) and Brigitta Sipocz of Caltech/IPAC will be at the Caltech IPAC booth 615 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm PT on Monday, January 9. Tom and Brigitta maintain the tools and will be on hand for informal chats.
Everyone at #AAS241, welcome to Seattle. It indeed rains sometimes, but hopefully you will still be able to enjoy the things the city has on offer (or can stay for the long weekend and enjoy the show in the mountains).
Call for Proposals for #SciPy2023 is open! Join us in #ATX on July 10-14, 2023 for the 22nd annual SciPyConf 🐍
Have a talk, tutorial, or poster you want to share? Get your submission in before February 22, 2023 💯More conference info coming soon 👀
