«it is out of this kind of atmosphere that Pasteur came to the field of biology. Can anyone doubt that he brought with him a completely different method of reasoning? Every 2 or 3 years he moved to one biological problem after another, from optical activity to the fermentation of beet sugar, to the "diseases" of wine and beer, to the disease of silkworms, to the problem of "spontaneous generation", to the anthrax disease of sheep, to rabies. In each of these fields there were experts in Europe who knew a hundred times as much as Pasteur, yet each time he solved problems in a few months that they had not been able to solve. Obviously it was not encyclopedic knowledge that produced his success, and obviously it was not simply luck, when it was repeated over and over again: it can only have been the systematic power of a special method of exploration.»

The OntoWeaver team is proud to release version 1.4 of its tool 🥳
OntoWeaver allows to easily parse iterable data (like tables or documents) and create a Semantic Knowledge Graph. Basically, you write a simple YAML file telling what data you want to be a node or a property, you call a generic command, and 🎉 , you have your graph ready.
With the 1.4 series, the main new feature is an option to display progress bars when doing heavy processing (like loading large CSV files).
The documentation has also been heavily updated, completed and polished:

The OntoWeaver team is proud to release version 1.3 of its tool 🥳
OntoWeaver allows to easily parse iterable data (like tables or documents) and create a Semantic Knowledge Graph. Basically, you write a simple YAML file telling what data you want to be a node or a property, you call a generic command, and 🎉 , you have your graph ready.
We've been using OntoWeaver on a few real use-cases, I think it's now in a pretty good state, and ready for you to use. We recently put a lot of attention on the documentation, with tutorials and a primer about KG for newcomers: https://ontoweaver.readthedocs.io/en/latest
With the 1.3 series, the main new features are:
* `ontoweave` can now load multiple compatible data files at once, for the same mapping, with a classical "shell glob". E.G. `ontoweave data/*.parquet:mapping.yaml`
* OntoWeaver now has the ability to automatically create or extend a BioCypher schema from the mapping (useful if you don't want to type a large but straightforward set of types!).Get the code at: https://github.com/oncodash/ontoweaver or using `pip`: https://pypi.org/project/ontoweaver/

J'ai testé pour vous, et travailler à l'Institut Pasteur vous rend éligible à avoir un compte Mastodon sur https://universites.social (via l'affiliation Paris Cité).

Happy to see that the "Institut #Pasteur" has left #TwitteRx. Unfortunately, there is not yet a mastodon account for the institute, as it migrated to #bsky.
My account there will serve mostly to follow accounts that are not visible otherwise on Mastodon, but my main activity remains here. Let's see how this develops. I am not sure that a centralized social media is viable in the long term, but time will tell.

A Survey of Canteen Desserts at Institut Pasteur https://github.com/rjstevick/Pasteur-canteen-desserts "In this unique study, we conducted a multi-year survey of daily dessert sampling in order to eat our sadness away and address knowledge gaps in canteen dessert choice. Our results will inform decision-making of IP students, post-docs, and the entire scientific community for years to come." #institutPasteur #pasteur #food #dessert

One more for today:
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me. -Louis Pasteur, chemist and bacteriologist (27 Dec 1822-1895)
Shame on all those who would turn away the people asking, begging for help. -

A conversation.
“When experts disagree, usually the best thing to do is listen to what the majority of experts say. There’s no guarantee that they’re right, but they’re more likely right than wrong. And if the majority view is overturned, it’s almost guaranteed that this will be done by other experts in the field presenting evidence for the minority view, not by random kibitzers.”
“For the history buffs in here, while most scientific knowledge is advanced incrementally, the true breakthroughs are usually ridiculed by the reigning experts. That is why appeals to authority are the worst kind of logical fallacy for a scientist.”
“That’s the pop-history version of scientific progress. The actual #history of #science is very different. Kind of like the difference between ‘history buffs’ and historians.”
===
Yes, there are examples—a few—of genuine breakthroughs that were ridiculed by the scientific establishment of the day. I bet you know what they are, because everyone does. They laughed at #Semmelweis, they laughed at #Wegner, they laughed at Luis and Walter #Alvarez, they laughed at #Marshall and #Warren. These things happened.
But they did not laugh at #Galileo: indeed, they took his work with deadly seriousness. (And there really wasn’t any such thing as a “scientific establishment” at the time.) They did not laugh at #Newton, or #Watt, or #Darwin, or #Gibbs, or #Pasteur, or #Einstein, or #Curie, or #Heisenberg, or #Fisher, or #Watson and #Crick and poor unacknowledged #Franklin, or #Tharp and #Heezen, or #Ostrom and #Bakker, or #Hansen, or the vast majority of scientists whose work has fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe.
At least if by “they” you mean scientists working in relevant fields, who understood the questions at hand … not, in most cases, scientists from other fields, or those with no scientific experience at all. Nor the religious and political ideologues who muddy the waters by creating fake “controversies” to cast doubt on results they know are true, but cannot accept.
In some cases they disagreed, quite vociferously. There were debates that descended into shouting matches, professional disagreements turned into personal feuds, once-eminent researchers become sad cranks, ruined careers and shortened lives. Yes. These things happened too, and that’s a tragedy.
But most of the time, most researchers in the same fields as the revolutionaries said, “Oh, that makes sense!” Problems that had seemed insoluble suddenly became simple, or at least it was possible to see how there might be an elegant solution. Major discoveries spawned a host of medium-sized ones, each of which in turn spawned endless minor ones—and endless minor papers, academic bread and butter for when you can’t get steak and lobster. Everyone wins.
Those ideologues I mentioned above? They really, really want you to believe the narrative of ridicule. You might want to consider why.
