Excited that my module Digital Research Practices (www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-...) is featuring in this year's @ucl.ac.uk Summer School programme. Please share with interested students. #studyabroad #research #digitalskills

For mentors, it is an opportunity to share experience, guide early-career RSEs, and hone leadership skills. Mentees can benefit from support, fresh perspectives, and career path guidance. For more details, visit our website or email [email protected] for any other questions.

Kurz vor Weihnachten gab's noch die letzte Folge von #code4thought der 10.Serie - und diesmal über den Supercomputer Jupiter am @fz-juelich.de . Meine Gäste waren Andreas Herten und Benedikt von St. Vieth . Zu hören auf allen podcast apps, YouTube podcast oder direkt

The Max Planck Society has begun an exploratory round table for open science. We are drafting some recommendations to leadership. Still a long way to go! But here are my notes on the most recent draft, just so you all know how I am trying to steer things.

Vibe coding might sound trendy, but I think vibe coding might be one of the worst ideas in software engineering and software development in 2025... Listen to my thoughts on #VibeCoding in my latest video on the @modernswe.bsky.social channel. Watch HERE ➡️ youtu.be/1A6uPztchXk

Diátaxis is an amazing resource that I recommend to everyone writing documentation or tutorials: diataxis.fr I find myself returning to it every few weeks, and each time I learn something new. #documentation

New workshop alert! DRA + Forschungszentrum Jülich are hosting: Better Software Architecture, Better Software, Better Research 🗓 13 Nov 2025 Most research software focuses on what the code does. This workshop focuses on how to structure it so it remains reusable and adaptable. 🔗 buff.ly/Wo7aHZ7

we love options, but python packaging has too many. Packaging guru Jeremiah Paige wrote about our values-based rubric for selecting: 🌱 free & open 🤝 inclusive 📐 standards-compliant 💪 well-supported 🎯 opinionated (less paralysis!) www.pyopensci.org/blog/how-we-... #python #opensource #openscience

Now I'm also looking for a research software engineer to implement a pile of research results to R packages loo, posterior, bayesplot, projpred, priorsense, brms or/and Python packages ArviZ, Bambi and Kulprit. Apply by email with no specific deadline (see contact info at users.aalto.fi/~ave/)

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.
