This post explains what data curation is, what data curators do, why the role is essential in modern research, and how PSC applies it to national-scale scientific data infrastructure. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-07-what-is-fair/ Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-07-what-is-fair/ FAIR is a set of guiding principles for scientific data management that has become a global standard. This post explains what each principle means, why it matters in modern science, and what it demands from researchers who have been doing this for years — especially around code, workflows, and reproducible computing. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-06-git-and-github-for-interns/ Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-06-git-and-github-for-interns/ An introduction to Git and GitHub for interns — what version control is, why it matters in research, and how a recent paper in PLOS Biology shows that these tools belong in the lab, not just in software teams. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-05-what-is-open-access/ Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2026-01-05-what-is-open-access/ Open access is the practice of making scientific research freely available to anyone, without paywalls or embargo periods. This post explains what it is, why it matters, and what NIH, NSF, and funders around the world now require. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2025-08-26-singularity-report/ Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/icaoberg/post/2025-08-26-singularity-report/ Introducing pscedu/singularity-report — a simple, open tracker for the Biomedical Applications Group’s Singularity containers, built to help Bridges-2 users and our Summer 2025 intern keep everything current and reproducible.
