Sometimes I think back about how Scholia started, and then I think I remember a Twitter discussion. Twitter was a social platform that was unable to fight hate speech. I left it last year in favor of Mastodon.

Anyway, I did some digging today and found this thread from October 8-9 2016. A few days earlier, Finn has created a profile based on data in Wikidata on his homepage, which I was very happy about. You can see how Dario suggests to put that webpage up on Toolforge. For completeness, this is the first commit, October 9.

This chat was after @fnielsen's blog post about the idea of the needed open infrastructure and a possible Wikidata solution from September 2016. Finally, it was also only half a year before Scholia got mentioned in Nature.

Triggered by the "reflections on your career" in the announcement I decide to give the Open Science Challenge by Heidi Seibold a try: "12 emails over the course of a month that are designed to help you on your Open Science journey."

I will post here my replies to the various challenges, by linking to the first Mastodon, allowing you to follow the replies:

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
