Science

Hi!

+++ apologies for cross-posting +++

For folks who may have missed it, the call-for-participation for this year's Chaos Communication Congress, 27-30th December 2018 in Leipzig Germany, is out! And already for a little while. In case you hadn't noticed, there is a SCIENCE TRACK \o/, just like every year. Here's the specifics...

DEADLINE: 15th October

CFP: https://events.ccc.de/2018/09/11/35c3-call-for-participation-and-submission-guidelines 

Here's the science track text (unfortunately the one on the blog is still the old one from last year...):

SCIENCE TRACK
We see science as a method of "reverse engineering" the world and are interested in the latest results. How can we free our orbital front yard from all its accumulated space junk? How can we develop algorithms and feed them with data that won't perpetuate existing discrimination? How can DNA editing cure diseases without causing a zombie apocalypse?
To benefit from new knowledge and the technologies that come from it we need to understand how it all relates to and influences our environment and society. No matter if you work at a research center, university or in a garage: If you explore and evaluate interesting and important developments from a scientific point of view, this is your track!

A nice thing this year is that they're specifically asking for what they call "Foundation Talks" - this should be entry level backgrounders for people who are new to a topic - great both to apply for and to listen to. You can also check out the other tracks of course - hardware, art and culture... many of them could be (and have been) a good home for the kind of open sciencing we do on this list. You can apply for a 30min (plus 10mins Q&A) or 45min (plus 15min Q&A) talk. Also, it's helpful to know that the CCC doesn't really go for talks that focus exclusively on a specific project. They'd much rather hear about ongoing research, issues, movements, opinions… 

About the CCC

The CCC (Chaos Computer Club) is Europe's largest association of hackers, and the CCC (Chaos Communication Congress) is it's annual meeting. Topics range from Resilience, Security, Privacy and digital rights to broader digital culture, art, politics, society, hardware and Science! It's a completely independent, self-organised, self-financed event, for 13000+ people, around 3000 of which contribute voluntarily to running the event. This means that everyone pays their ticket (which can be quite tricky to get btw), with speakers being the only exception. The talks are only a small part of everything that goes on there. It's like a huge hacker family party to round off the year. Hope to see some folks there!

Seems like to meet the desired CO2 target levels in reasonable time
period, biology is going to be too slow.

Something I don't know is how long the past (pre-human) era of
high-CO2 lasted in time... was it sufficient to enable evolutionary
selection/optimization of fast CO2 consumers?

It seems fast CO2 capture has already been on scientists' and
engineers' minds for some time, for example in the forestry and
agriculture fields. I remember an internship I almost accepted years
ago at ORNL, where they were looking at the microbiome (among other
things) of Poplar because it grows quite fast, and that would be a
boon to people wanting wood for product manufacturing.

It seems to me the best solution would be hooking up a clean/green
nuclear plant to an industrial-scale CO2 chemical capture system. If
we could figure out a way to produce something more-dense than water,
then we could just start dumping diamonoids into a pile at the bottom
of the ocean, etc.

Hi Thomas,
I'm not on the BioCoder team... and only took the ZIP file download of
BioCoder 1.0 and uploaded it to github, then made the changes to get
it to compile on Ubuntu.

You can find the link you referenced here on The Internet Archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161110125136/http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/india/projects/biocoder/

But I see there it says this same documentation is included in the code repo.

Also, I was the one who created the readme.md file... and only
copy-pasted the journal article title-page text there (along with some
minor formatting).

Please feel free to send me any updates and I can integrate them, or
if you'd like you can simply fork my repo and then I can pull your
changes once you've made any.

Best,
-Nathan
