Towards Modular Open Science Science is trapped in a paper-shaped box. In this talk at the ATProto community, Rowan Cockett introduces the structural states of scientific components — the floor, the buckets, and the shelf — and m...

My keynote at the @atproto.science conference about Modular Science last week!

The recording and writeup are here:

Excited to talk about modular science, Open Exchange Architecture, @curvenote.com and @continuous.foundation tomorrow.

Will be a fun day learning all that is going on in this space.

🚀🚀

Made some #bluesky profile cards for @mystmd.org via the widget interface (widget doesn't feel like right interface, but a handy starting point). Just needed a fetch call to api.bsky.app 🤩 wrote more about it here. more #bsky / #atproto experiments coming.

On the MyST Markdown V3 AST - opensci.dev A post exploring the new MyST Markdown V3 AST and the changes it brings to the MyST Markdown stack.

I (and we @mystmd.org) have been working on releasing new version of the MyST Markdown AST. A foundational change to the representation of Jupyter outputs that sets up a lot of future possibilities - notes and thoughts are here: opensci.dev/articles/on-...

Very excited to be working with @prereview.bsky.social on Modular Peer Review in 2026!

We've just moved our `any-widget` based directives and renders for @mystmd.org into a public repo on @curvenote.com . After quite a while tinkering these are nicely supporting interactive visualizations - more work to fully implement the full `any-widget` interface coming

Real change happens when people build together. In San Diego, @openrxiv.bsky.social and CSF brought tool builders and researchers into one room to share a keyboard, test ideas, and prototype modular, machine readable publishing.

Research workflows have a lot of moving parts. Our SCMS keeps them all in sync, versioned, and easily reusable across projects. Learn more about our new platform here → curvenote.com/news/curveno...

When the Microscopy Society of America set out to launch Elemental Microscopy, we partnered with them to make it happen fast - an interactive, open-access journal where readers can explore data and code while MSA maintains full control of the publishing process.

Last week was full of great conversations at the CZI Open Science Meeting in sunny San Diego ☀️ - including on the first meeting of the new OpenRxiv organization - an exciting start to the next chapter for preprints. Read more in the post 👇

The @openrxiv.bsky.social community is charting the future of preprints — not just as papers, but as connected nodes in the open research web.

Our reflections + @row1.ca's lightning talk on building continuous, connected publishing.

🚀 Exciting news! The SciPy 2025 Proceedings are officially published:
👉 proceedings.scipy.org/2025

Huge thanks to the Proceedings Committee, @curvenote.com, Jim Weiss, all the authors, and reviewers who made this happen. 🙌

@creativecommons.bsky.social and @continuous.foundation are teaming up to make reuse the default for modular science.

Join the cohort working to shape incentives for reuse in modular science. The group will kick off in January 2026.

Apply by Sunday, Nov 30

Imagine re-using every figure, method, or analysis without digging for it. That’s the idea behind a Scientific Content Management System—an SCMS. It connects the notebooks and venues where research is created, stored, and published. Explore more → bit.ly/3KSWh7t

We’re proud to launch our SCMS — a platform that turns data, code, and figures into living, connected research ready to share and build on. Read the announcement here → bit.ly/3KGqHK8

When I worked at Morressier, we always kept one eye on @curvenote.com So great to see them continue to go from strength to strength, deliver incredible features, and succeed in their mission where we did not.

Amazing things can be done even with a tiny team and great focus.

🎉🥳🙌🎊

Here at Curvenote, we’ve been on a journey to create systems and workflows that reimagine scientific communication and collaboration. Over the last five years, we’ve been focused on a universal problem: science is advancing faster than the systems we use to organize and share it.

We’ve been on a journey to close the gap of fragmented workflows, lost credit, and disconnected tools. Our new platform turns scattered outputs into dynamic, connected and reusable research components.

Thrilled to be on this amazing team and be part of the mission to help science move beyond the PDF! 🚀

Quote over a scenic mountain landscape at sunset. The quote reads: “I am seeing this as a turning point at a crucial time.” — Tracy Teal, openRxiv. Snow-covered mountains rise in the background under a clear sky, with evergreen trees and a warm orange glow at the horizon.

Introducing #ComposableScience, a new paradigm for the way science is communicated. Where data, code, figures are shared & credited. Where we can reuse and build on others' work easily.

Continuous Science Foundation Workshop — Banff 2025 In May 2025, a diverse group of researchers, funders, technologists, and advocates gathered in Banff to reimagine the future of scientific communication. Through case studies, system mapping, storytel...

In May we hosted a convergence in Banff, Canada. The group gathered to ask better questions of science communication. Not just what’s broken?—but what could be?

We surfaced stories, tools, and a hunger for something more open, more connected.

Screen that allows configuration of automated checks on different article kinds within the Curvenote publishing system.

It was great to be getting some improvements to our checks UI into production yesterday! automated checks are run whenever something is submitted from the CLI or GitHub automations, and apply rules to the document structure - now with an improved surface for configuration @curvenote.com

We had an amazing meeting in Banff this week with 22 open sci nice advocates. More to come soon!

Very excited to share some of the work we have been putting into Continuous Science Foundation.

The inimitable, formidable James Heaters has gifted us (some of) the contents of his brain in the form of a primer on evaluating rigor in research articles.

And he published it using @curvenote.com so it's versionable and its code is executable - the only way it makes sense to publish in 2025. 👏👏👏

I am working with @samteplitzky.bsky.social on a working group in @force11.bsky.social for:

Preserving Executable Research Content

Certainly not a new idea! :)

This is something that science deserves at scale. 🚀

Hey there 🦋🧪, we're a new open access microscopy journal and wanted to introduce ourselves! EM aims to modernize scientific publishing for microscopy, by prioritizing open science, transparency, and accessibility and using open-source formats and interactive notebooks 🙌
