High-temperature fusion plasma experiments conducted in the Large Helical Device (LHD) of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), have renewed the world record for an acquired data amount, 0.92 terabytes (TB) per experiment, in February 2022, by using a full range of state-of-the-art plasma diagnostic devices. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which is currently under construction in France through the international collaboration of seven parties, is expected to generate approximately 1 TB of data per experiment in 10 years, and LHD is currently the only experiment in the world that produces data closely aligned to ITER. The promotion of "Open Science," in which large-scale research data assets are utilized and shared across society, was adopted as a joint statement at the G7 meeting held in Sendai, Japan in 2023. NIFS started full-fledged efforts toward Open Science by establishing the "Open Access Policy" in February 2022 and the "Research Data Policy" in October 2022.

Thanks Data for selecting our data-descriptor as the cover story for the April issue of the journal:

I am happy to support Open Science practices by both encouraging my students to follow them and by walking the path myself

This dataset has been already used in 2 studies done in collaboration with Heidi Toivonen and in one in collaboration with Akpofure Enughwure. Both my co-author and me are looking forward to any further collaborations that may arise. Overall, I am considering this adventure as one my best self-citations so far!

Encuentro de Datos Abiertos en Zaragoza

Algunas impresiones y reflexiones de mi reciente intervención en el II Encuentro Nacional de Datos abiertos en Zaragoza.

Hace ya más de 10 años que trabajo en el tema de los datos abiertos y sus aplicaciones en periodismo y ciencia, así que para mí fue toda una alegría asistir como invitado al II Encuentro Nacional de Datos Abiertos celebrado en Zaragoza el pasado 14 de septiembre. En él pude comprobar, de primera mano, cómo hay una serie de administraciones regionales plenamente implicadas en la transformación que…

Thanks, MetroHero

I don't usually write 500-plus words about a mobile app that most people outside of my city have even heard of. But this wasn't just any app.

The app that for more than seven years has stamped my smartphone as a D.C.-area device stopped working Saturday. But while I’ll miss having MetroHero on my phone, its utility will live on–not only in software built on its open-source code, but in an upcoming tool that Metro developed after learning from its example. MetroHero debuted Sept. 20, 2015 on Google’s Play Store as an app that would…

Map: Where Not to Watch the Ford Fireworks, Detroit

What a day, a long, hot, sad day. Detroit loves to roll out the welcome mat for major events for visitors Downtown, but closed down numerous city parks along the entire roughly 10 miles of Detroit coastline from Riverside Park in Southwest to Mariner Park at the Grosse Pointes border. Detroit limited viewing areas to Spirit Plaza and Hart Plaza downtown while Belle Isle was limited to capacity…

WAHOOO I have so much stuff to post but I keep forgetting or not having time 😭

This week I've been responsible and worked on my comic, so I have earned another day of just drawing Data <333

(I kind of make it sound like I don't like working on my comic, but that isn't true. I'm just WAYYY too fixated on Data for my own good.)

I think it is very cool how tech companies, schools, employers, and universities make it actively difficult to distance yourself from Google, Microsoft, and Apple.

Yes most Linux distros are very stable, way more secure, privacy friendly, and way more customizable. But every institution is built to make technological independence as difficult as possible.

Yelling on the internet that everyone should switch to Linux and FOSS really ignores how much of the technological world is designed to not let that happen.
