This #GivingTuesday, I hope you'll consider supporting @rOpenSci. rOpenSci seeks to break down barriers to accessing knowledge and democratize science, by building tools and community to enable open research. We focus on the researchers and applications that aren't served by commercial tech: the "long tail" of scientists and research engineers that need to work together to build a community of support.
We're planning to do a bunch of outreach in 2024 in the community of people working with open data and open source energy system models (hopefully with support from NSF POSE and maybe Sloan) and it seems adjacent to the kind of work being done by @pyOpenSci & @leahawasser
Do y'all think this would be a good potential community partnership?
Also, while all of our own work is done in #Python, we're moving to a model of distributing data products rather than a sprawling data processing pipeline application (it'll stay open source if you want to see it or contribute, but most users don't need or want to see how the open data sausage is made!).
So to find a wider set of potential end users maybe it would also make sense to talk to the folks at @rOpenSci and @us_rse
Thanks all for the many great posts here during #USRSE23!
We are still recovering but very excited to announce that:
📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣 📣
US-RSE'24 will be taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico in mid-October!
🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄
Next year's theme will be Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: A celebration of all that RSEs have done for computing in the past, in the present, and in the future. More information will be released in the coming months! #USRSE24
Last session at #USRSE23 has started. Great conference with lots of interesting discussions and topics. Plenty of material to go through for an episode on this event (out mid November). Thanks to @us_rse for their support and help. And, yes, I just joined 😃
Academic Data Science Alliance and @us_rse are thrilled to announce the release of
Hiring, Managing, and Retaining Data Scientists and Research Software Engineers in Academia:
A Career Guidebook from ADSA and the US-RSE
It's a reference on the motivation, means, and strategies for building and sustaining successful research programs and rewarding career paths for DS/RSEs.
Join us on Wednesday, 30 August at 3pm UTC to learn more about using Github to build community!
Reshama Shaikh (Data Umbrella), Anne Lee Steele (The Turing Way), and Yanina Bellini Saibene (rOpenSci) will be sharing how they use the platform to connect with their members to create community-sourced blog posts, organize community events, and plan engaging community calls.
Cool that Python is finally coming to excel. I got started with code running #python inside ArcGIS. Being able to take first steps with Python and not have to also figure out installation, dependencies, IDE, etc. at same time will get a lot of people started on learning to code.
Last year I joined a bunch of very clever people in Chicago for a few days and we put together the bones for a handbook on how to hire, manage and retain data scientists and research software engineers in academic settings. It's now out!
Boosts are welcome - we hope this will be helpful for a lot of people working in the software-producing corner of academia. Thanks to the folks at ADSA and @us_rse for putting it together!
More good news from @us_rse! With the sponsorship of various organizations such as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a limited number of student and early career travel grants, as well as dependent care grants, are available to assist applicants in attending US-RSE’23 in Chicago in October.
We are excited to announce a new program for @us_rse members! Part of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant for US-RSE has been earmarked for the Community and Travel Grants program, to:
Grow & diversify the US-RSE & RSE community
Connect people in the US-RSE community
Help people grow in their careers
Increase visibility & viability of RSEng as a career
Create opportunities for underserved community members
