Welcoming product visionary Jillian Hale as we build a modular, dynamic future for research. Jillian’s background spans product strategy, communication, and platform design. She brings a unique blend of user-centered thinking and a deep respect for how scientific work gets done.
Curvenote is helping to lead a new FORCE11 working group, "Preserving Executable Research Content: Challenges, Frameworks, and Best Practices". The working group will bring together researchers from diverse scientific communities to address the challenges of preserving and archiving computational notebooks and interactive research articles and artifacts over time.
In today's fast-paced scientific environment, the gap between code development and scholarly communication is widening. While scientists increasingly rely on code for analysis and modeling, traditional methods of sharing results—like static PDFs—fail to capture the dynamic and interactive nature of modern research.
A panel discussion with Lorena Barba, Rowan Cockett, Karthik Ram and Arfon Smith explores how open source software practices can reshape the way we communicate scientific discoveries. Adopting open source tools and processes could drastically improve scientific communication, especially with the growing complexity and interconnectedness of research data.
