Study explores effects of extended spaceflight on brain
Scientists from the U.S., Europe and Russia are part of a team releasing the results of a large collaborative study involving the effects of long duration spaceflight on the brain.
Positive note: Despite the current situation in Ukraine, those involved in science can still carry on working and collaborating, for the benefit of everyone.

Learning the R statistical language
During a recent conversation, with a member of a job seeking buddy group that I am a member of, we had a brief chat about the R programming language. This is designed and optimised to help with statistics, allows graphs to be produced from data and also integrates with other software such as LaTeX, Python and more.
Learning R is probably not difficult, the hardest part with learning something is finding the right resources to help. To this end I have found a collated a few links below.
The Links below could be useful generally if you are going to be running R on a GNU/Linux system then knowledge of the command line may be useful. I have also included a link to the study support forum.

Code Club 16/4/2022
The next Club will be on Saturday 16th April 2022 @ Paignton Library. Please contact the library to book.
We will carry on with what we were doing last session and at the STEM group, hopefully do more with the Lego WeDo and Python, hopefully more scratch projects, physical computing depending on who can make it to the session.
If you are following the activities provided by code club, please use the website link below, this will hopefully avoid issues with the existing materials that are written for Scratch 2.0

How to Generate References with LaTeX (BibTeX)
How to Generate References with LaTeX (BibTeX)
Another LaTeX video, this time relating to creating a bibliography. This isn't using Overleaf, however the principle is similar. The Overleaf example file has a built in Bibliography example. I have found a video that covers this, so please see the second video below.

Improve your academic writing with Writefull.
Improve your academic writing with Writefull.
Writefull, is a really useful extension to overleaf, that helps you improve your writing. It is designed to be integrated in to Overleaf, so complements really well. From experience, this works in Chrome but I am not sure if there is a specific plug-in for Firefox.
The narrator does seem to be talking rather fast, which makes it harder to follow. I did use the Youtube settings to slow down the speed to 0.75, which sort of improved this. To be fair, I am not sure if the narrators first language is English, so that may account for the speed he is talking. But it is not a barrier to watching the video, once slowed down, or even at normal speed.

Sense about Science
The internet is a fantastic source of information, sadly not all of this is accurate, or even true. A good way to ensure you can trust informationis to ask for evidence. Sense about science, have a video on this. This goes along side their campaign.

Tutorial for writing lab reports in LaTeX and Overleaf
So further to my previous overleaf post. This is a tutorial to show you how to make a simple lab report. It is about an hour long. But seems to cover quite a lot of ground. I am happy to help people with LaTeX, I would recommend using the forum (see links below), you should be able to tag me in with
@PaulSutton.
