New article: Improving carbon literacy around HPC services. EPCC's Andrew Turner discusses the background to a new lesson that is available now as part of the Carpentries Incubator & HPC Carpentry. edin.ac/3HoyScS @carpentries.carpentries.org

Today I finished the instructor training workshop from The Carpentries @carpentries.carpentries.org which was educational! I’m not a certified instructor yet, but soon I will be able to teach the Data Carpentries’ exceptionally useful Genomics curriculum! Lmk if you’d like to co-host a workshop!

Wow. Literally putting principles over money - courage almost no one has shown recently. Respect, @carpentries.carpentries.org

I don’t have enough hats to tip for the bold move that @carpentries.carpentries.org just made.

Must read piece on @carpentries.carpentries.org 's brave and principled decision to turn down a $1.5M NSF grant rather than compromise their core value of inclusion. Kudos to The Carpentries, and let's support them and others who won't cross the first line.

📢 The Carpentries is in Forbes! Our Directors @drkariljordan.bsky.social @erinstellabecker.bsky.social were interviewed by @jdrakephd.bsky.social for Forbes on The Carpentries' decision to withdrew from the $1.5M science grant due to new federal DEI rules: www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

I'm really grateful to @jdrakephd.bsky.social for shining a light on @carpentries.carpentries.org's decision to stand by our core values in the face of escalating pressure to jettison DEI. www.forbes.com/sites/johndr... If you're so inclined - help us keep going - www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

This a heartening read - Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M Science Grant Due To New Federal DEI Rules @carpentries.carpentries.org 💪

I missed this announcement when it came out. It gives me hope, seeing a ~ small non-profit stand up for human dignity, respecting its core mission, and committing serve the whole community. Maybe they could offer workshops to big name orgs & universities on what it means to have ethics & values 🤔

The Carpentries (@carpentries.carpentries.org‬), a nonprofit that has trained over 100,000 researchers in coding and data skills, turned down a $1.5 million NSF grant after being asked to strip diversity-related content from its programming. www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

The entire @carpentries.carpentries.org model is built on inclusivity. Good for y'all for not putting up with this bs regime. www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

Thank you @carpentries.carpentries.org for saying no to NSA #censorship and standing firm about the absolutely need to continue focusing on diversity, equity, & inclusion! #DefendResearch #Academia #SciSky #HigherEd #Libraries www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

2/ We explored how Communities of Practice help us learn, grow, and shape the R programming language. All my examples comes feom @ropensci.org but we also mencioned @rladies.org , @carpentries.carpentries.org and other R-related communities 🌎👩‍💻👨‍💻 #useR2025 #RStats

Juni 2025 musste @carpentries.carpentries.org einen NSF-Förderantrag zurückziehen. Der Grund: Eine neue Richtlinie der NSF, die es geförderten Organisationen untersagt, Programme speziell für unterrepräsentierte Gruppen anzubieten. Dies widerspricht den zentralen Werten von The Carpentries.
