But unclear how this works for other + schemes. Best solution probably translation elisp -\> scheme, + but this is not the approach that was done. Would be very cool + to have. Feel free to give a PR. +- Q: What is the plan to handle elisp packages that depend on 3rd party/external libraries? (libgit/magit or rg/ripgrep)? + - A: Will be tricky. If loading directly into the elisp process, + very hard. Cairo could help, but you need emacs lisp binding on + top of that. For magit, you can call regular process + communication via stdin/stdout; so you can reuse existing scheme + libraries. Dynamic libraries not a goal.

See this site for the + post transcription scripts that I apply to clean up the text + before I see the trasncript: + [https://github.com/MooersLab/bash-whisper-transcription](https://github.com/MooersLab/bash-whisper-transcription){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. + I also jot down notes but not so much after I started using the + digitial voice recorder (DVR). Dragging the audo file to the + folder where I do the transcriptions does take a wee bit of time + so I try to be judicious about selecting when I turn on the DVR. + I should probably write a Elisp function to transcribe the audio + recording from the DVR, save the transcript, and delete the + audio recording so that I can streamline this process. There is + alawys a way to do things more efficiently with Emacs! + - sachac: oooh, I can recommend getting an inexpensive lapel mic if you don't already have one. I'm also experimenting with using keywords to organize my audio braindumps. +- Q: What if an ideas does not belong to any current working manuscript? + - A: Sandbox area in a log file. The Sandbox area is called + \"Future additions and tangents\" in the template log file and + is also used to draft sections of the paper that I am uncertain + that I will retain. + - If not related, kept in an external diary +- Q: It looks like you have daily log per project, what do you think + about just using single daily notes and cross referencing different + projects? + - A: I have \> 800 projects per year in 10 categories. Several + years ago, I made org files for each category with 1000 + headlines, but this proved to be too unwieldy for me at the time + as a noivice org-mode user. The log files for the manuscript + projects wind up with 50-100 pages of content each so the + single-threaded nature of Emacs hampers scrolling through such + huge org files. In addition, I want to keep all other projects + out of sight and mind while focused on the project at hand. +- Q: \<gringo\> If there were one habit from your process (referencing your extensive flow chart) that you want active learners/professional researchers to adopt, which would it be and why? + - Keeping a daily diary is essential for overcoming the fears of + forgetting and losing momentum. These fears are the maiin + barriers to switching between projects on a given day. The + in-grained preference is to do binge writing, which I still + succumb to doing sometimes, but I am trying to avoid binge + writing with this system. +- Q: \<gs-101\> I see that you use checkboxes for tasks. Did you know + you can format headings to support tracking them? Like this: TODO + Heading \[0/4\] + - A: Yes, I convert some of my most important todo items into + \*\*\* TODO headline to be picked up by arg agenda. I add the + writing-project log file to the list of org files that org + agenda searches. I use a Elisp function to add new \*\*\*TODO + items to the list when they come to mind. I will post this + function shortly on the AAAreadme of + [https://github.com/MooersLab/writingLogTemplateInOrg](https://github.com/MooersLab/writingLogTemplateInOrg){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. + This eliminates the need to refile the idea, which I am too + undisciplined to do. +- Q: I actually love this one! But it creates as much separated log as + there is project. You limit yourself to work only on how many + project per day? How do you explore them back (if you ever)? I + assume your org files is growing exponantially over time. You said + about \"valuable when receiving critiques?\" (Donovan) +- A: Thank you for the opportunity to make clarifications. I try to + work on two writing projects a day on average terms of doing + generative writing tasks. Yes, there is one writing-project log file + per project. They tend to grow to a length of 50-100 pages by the + time the paper is published. Because of the ability to fold + sections, I have not run into trouble with the longer lengths. I + use the template on GitHub to start the log file for a new writing + probject. I could consider retaining a log file for a sequel paper + to retain the history of decisions made in the first paper but I + would duplicate it and rename the copy with the new project number. + I will go through an old log file for a published paper from years + ago to recover details on how I carried out certain procedures. The + history of decisions in the daily log is invaluable for responding + to probing questions by reviewers about why we decided to do certain + procedures. +- \<\_viz\> Q: Sorry, not really related to the talk\'s topic but can + you share the pymol project that shown in the writing log slide + earlier in the talk? I am interested in the paper/project. + - A: Thank you for your interest on the PyMOL project. I have not + published that particular project yet, but a number of related + PyMOL projects are on my GitHub site. The most popular is + MooersLab/PyMOLshortcuts + [https://github.com/MooersLab/pymolshortcuts](https://github.com/MooersLab/pymolshortcuts){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. + The associated paper is here + [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pro.3781](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pro.3781){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. + I have run PyMOL in Jupyter + [https://github.com/MooersLab/jupyterlabpymolpysnips](https://github.com/MooersLab/jupyterlabpymolpysnips){rel="noreferrer noopener"} + [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33967632/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33967632/){rel="noreferrer noopener"} + , Colab + [https://github.com/MooersLab/colabOpenSourcePyMOLpySnips](https://github.com/MooersLab/colabOpenSourcePyMOLpySnips){rel="noreferrer noopener"} + [https://proceedings.scipy.org/articles/majora-1b6fd038-002](https://proceedings.scipy.org/articles/majora-1b6fd038-002){rel="noreferrer noopener"}, + RStudio + [https://github.com/MooersLab/rstudiopymolpysnips](https://github.com/MooersLab/rstudiopymolpysnips){rel="noreferrer noopener"}, + and Org-mode + [https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips](https://github.com/MooersLab/orgpymolpysnips){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. + I gave a talk about the later at emacsconf 2021 + [https://emacsconf.org/2021/talks/molecular/](https://emacsconf.org/2021/talks/molecular/){rel="noreferrer noopener"}. +- \<jsiegel62\> Q: Have you tweaked your Emacs configuration at all + \-- with cus keybindings, etc \-- to support the process you + demonstrated? Thank for the good question because my talk was + focused on a template org document. I use org-ref heavily. I use it + to add Bibtex entries, download PDFs of research articles by their + DOIs, and rename them with the citekey. I made several Elisp + functions that do minor tasks to support my worflow. I will post + them github. +- \<PlasmaStrike\> I like to Seperate my ZettelKasten and GTD with + Daily and global, Zettelkasten daily would be a journal, The reason + to keep them seperated is daily is to start with a black sheet and + can be thrown ignored if not done well, If good enough goes into + zettel etc. That is a good suggestion.
