| It is our pleasure to invite you to the World Bank's new free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled Data for Better Lives: A New Social Contract. Based on WBG's 2021 World Development Report, this six-week course will allow participants to greatly deepen their knowledge of how data can be used for advancing development outcomes. From October 6th to November 16th 2021, the MOOC will offer participants a chance to learn from World Bank economists and will also include interactive live sessions.
We trust that this course would be an excellent learning and professional growth opportunity and we hope that you will be joining us. A certification track is also available. No Fee for Participation Register here!Yours sincerely,

Principles for Scientific Publishing
I. There should be universal open access to the record of science, both for authors and readers.
II. Scientific publications should carry open licences that allow reuse and text and data mining.
III. Rigorous and ongoing peer review is essential to the integrity of the record of science.
IV. The data/observations underlying a published truth claim should be concurrently published.
V. The record of science should be maintained to ensure open access by future generations.
VI. Publication traditions of different disciplines should be respected.
VII. Systems should adapt to new opportunities rather than embedding inflexible infrastructures.
These principles have received strong support from the international scientific community as represented by the membership of the International Science Council (ISC).

Webinar on Big Data and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) Telescope
Speaker:
Prof. Yogesh Wadadekar
[National Centre for Radio Astrophysics - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Pune, India]
On Tuesday, 21 September 2021 at 4:00 PM IST
About the Talk: Astronomy is facing a tsunami of new data as a slew of new telescopes come online within this decade. Within these vast datasets, astronomers will search for rare objects (needles in the haystack) as well as trace statistical trends with samples of millions and even billions of celestial objects. The Square Kilometer Array is the largest radio telescope ever envisioned. It is now being built by an international consortium (which includes India) at two remote sites - one in Australia and another in South Africa. Prof. Yogesh Wadadekar will describe how astronomers and engineers are working together to understand and solve challenging problems in data acquisition, transport, processing, delivery and visualisation of exabyte scale datasets.
Chaired by:
Prof. G. C. Anupama
[President, Astronomical Society of India, Former Senior Professor & Dean, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, India]
