Thank you for having me! It was an exciting visit and great pleasure to talk about @coderefinery.org and @nordic-rse.bsky.social and all the discussions around training, HPC and Research Software!

🚨 New Publication! 🚨 Wanna learn about the state-of-the-art of environmental 3D monitoring? We’re excited to share the first comprehensive review of Permanent Laser Scanning #PLS - just published! #IOJPRS 📰 Lindenbergh et al. 2025 doi.org/10.1016/j.op... #AImon #BMBF #Charact4D #Extract4D #DFG

Great first day! First Minisymposium on Research Software quality showed how work done within Elixir can reach beyond life science communities via projects like @eosc-everse.bsky.social ! Can't wait to see where this is going 🤩

It's great to see that a national research evaluation organization, the Finnish Publication Forum (JUFO), has rated @joss-openjournals.bsky.social as level 1, recognizing its scholarly value Frankie Robertson helped make this happen, with Nordic-RSE, & wrote about it: nordic-rse.org/blog/joss-ju...

✨

Engaging talks and a lovely crowd. So happy to have found "my people" that I get to learn so much from every day ❤️ Thanks to other organizers and all participants for making this a fantastic event! Blog posts and some pictures will follow ✨

The Nordic-RSE conference 2025 #NRSE25 has officially started!!! ✨ We are excited to welcome ~45 delegates from all over the Nordics (and even beyond) at Göteborg university!

📯 Free online workshop announcement! Successful & Beautiful Poster Presentations, Tina Lang "Scientific posters are an integral part of presenting your research. However, condensing all findings on just one canvas is truly challenging...

"If someone has opened the door for you, make sure to keep it open." @malvikasharan.bsky.social #CollabW25 Really enjoyed the opening panel this morning, thank you to all the panellists for their insights!

Last call, especially for people in the area around Göteborg: Join us on 20.+21.05.2025 for the second in-person Nordic-RSE conference to meet fellow research software enthusiasts and hear about cool tools and projects.

🚀 The #CodeRefinery workshop kicks off tomorrow with over 300 participants! Some of us will gather in Espoo at CSC headquarters to learn together ❤️ 🌍 Watch the live stream at twitch.tv/coderefinery 💬 Register to interact Looking forward to another exciting and collaborative learning experience!

Social Coding: Code better, together Coding isn’t just a solo mission- great projects thrive on teamwork! 🤝 In our #SocialCoding session, you’ll learn how to contribute and collaborate effectively, as well as what you need to know about licensing. 📅 Join us: coderefinery.github.io/2025-03-25-w...

A very good topic to at least know about when you are writing code for research. Especially all the wonderful tools that are out there to help you ✨

You might have already seen Jupyter being used in programming courses, but did you know that it can also be a useful tool for sharing your research code, including documentation? Jupyter can also be used for collaboration and prototyping on platforms like Noppe (by @csc.fi): noppe.csc.fi

We'll not only talk about in-code comments or README files, but also how to create clean and nice looking web pages hosting your documentation without the need to learn any html or css.

Great chance to share the technical details of you research work or just mingle with other research software/support people in the Nordics. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions :)

Reminder that this is happening this Wednesday! Bring those unfinished abstracts, no matter the state they are in. We are looking forward to discussing with you! Please also share with your colleagues!

One of my favorite lessons of the workshop: We'll look at code project organisation, into dependency management, workflows and a sneak peek into containers. All things a researcher, beyond the first coding class may stumble across on their journey.

Working with a multi-skilled team of artists, 3D wizards and game devs, my first game jam experience was amazing! We laughed and learned a lot, and are very proud of our little cat-ographer game! Find it on itch: samumantha.itch.io/the-crowns-c... and if you are on Windows, you can even play it :)

My first game jam this weekend! I am super excited to get to be in the beautiful building of the National Archives of Finland and work with some friends with various skills on a game related to historical maps! Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with to bring those maps to life 🤩

Excited to present @coderefinery.org at tomorrow's HiRSE seminar! See ya there? -> www.helmholtz-hirse.de/series/2025_...

Many members of the CodeRefinery will be there too! We are looking forward to exchanging experiences and ideas around #ResearchSoftwareEngineering and teaching #RSEskills to researchers with the community. Still time to submit your abstract and join us in Gothenburg!

Collaborative Git: Teamwork Without the Chaos Working on code with others can get messy fast. 😵‍💫 Our #CollaborativeGit session teaches you how to work with teammates, contribute to projects, and never fear merge conflicts again. 🚀 📅 Join the March workshop: coderefinery.github.io/2025-03-25-w...
