Hi all, We're back Thursday, May 14 with this month's Science Lab community call! The call kicks off at 11 ET. Dial in information can be found below.
This month, we’ll be hearing from some of the project leads for the upcoming *Mozilla Science Global Sprint, June 4 & 5* <http://www.mozillascience.org/global-sprint-2015>*, #mozsprint*. This is our second annual Global Sprint, sister event to our sprint in London at the Mozilla Festival each fall; at each of these events, we invite projects from across open research, from scientific applications to publishing to infrastructure and education, to come sprint on their goals while highlighting their work to the community and welcoming new collaborators. Check out the list of projects and sites on the main etherpad <https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sciencelab-2015globalsprint>, find some more details for some of the projects on their Collaborate listings <http://www.mozillascience.org/global-sprint-2015>, and please remember to sign up <https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sciencelab-2015globalsprint> if you’re planning on attending any of the 25+ co-working sites around the world! First on the call, Jai Rideout <https://twitter.com/jairideout> will be talking about a project with Greg Caporaso <https://twitter.com/gregcaporaso> to *improve support for authoring books from an IPython Notebook*, in support of their Sloan-funded *Introduction to Applied Bioinformatics* <http://caporasolab.us/An-Introduction-To-Applied-Bioinformatics/>. Check out the milestone collection of issues they’ll be sprinting on here <https://github.com/gregcaporaso/An-Introduction-To-Applied-Bioinformatics/milestones/0.1.1%20:%20Mozilla%20Science%20Lab%20Global%20Sprint%202015> . Tim Gardner <http://www.riffyn.com/tim-g/> from Riffyn <http://www.riffyn.com/> will be joining us to discuss his plans to build *a natural language tool to mine text from PLoS*. The project would like to extract statistics and context of term usage from the journal, to aid in constructing and maintaining scientific ontologies. Achintya Rao <https://twitter.com/RaoOfPhysics> of CERN will be joining us to describe two projects being brought by the international lab; *Cosmic Rays For Everyone*, a project to crowdsource the measurement of cosmic rays using inexpensive hardware, and *GitHub Science Badges*, a project lead by Laura Rueda <https://twitter.com/espacial> to create simple visual badges for GitHub repositories, displaying meaningful information for the scientific community like licenses, DOIs and more. Finally, we’ll also be joined by Graham Steel <https://twitter.com/McDawg> from *Content Mine <http://contentmine.org/>*, telling us about opportunities to get involved with the data extraction project.
