With her online course 'Learning How to Learn' (and companion book 'A Mind for Numbers'), Barbara Oakley, distinguished professor in engineering, reached many of us who - like myself - wanted to improve the way we learn, adopt new technologies or get into complex subject areas. Many researchers, PhD students, post-docs teach themselves how to program while trying to get their thesis or work done. But how do you go about it. I hope this interview gives some food for thought on how to get better with learning (and teaching).https://barbaraoakley.com Barbara Oakley's homepagehttps://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn The course Learning How to Learn on Courserahttps://blog.innerdrive.co.uk/interleaving-your-teaching Interleavinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique the Pomodoro TechniqueSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

Softwareentwicklung, auch im Forschungsbereich ist immer noch eine Männerdomäne. Aber es gibt inzwischen viele Bestrebungen den Zugang zu Stellen und Berufsaussichten für Frauen und andere unterrepräsentierte Gruppen zu öffnen. In dieser Folge hören wir von zwei Vertreterinnen: Bernadette Fritzsch vom Alfred Wegener Institut in Bremerhaven und Ruth Schöbel vom Forschungszentrum in Jülich.https://womeninhpc.org Women in HPC https://womeninhpc.org/membership/chapters-and-affiliates/chapters Chapters der Women in HPC da ist auch der Link zum FZ-Jhttps://www.awi.de Alfred Wegener Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschunghttps://www.fz-juelich.de/de Forschungszentrum JülichZum Schluss noch ein Hinweis auf die deRSE Konferenz in Würzburg vom 5.März bis zum 7.März: Anmeldeschluss ist der 1. Februar. Wie ihr dem Kurzinterview mit Florian Goth am Ende der Folge entnehmen könnt. https://events.hifis.net/event/994/overview Diese Folge ist vom Forschungszentrum Jülich gefördert.

It's time for a ByteSized RSE episode - and this time on the subject of 'easybuild' a tool to help you build and install software on high performance computers (HPC). My guest to help me with presenting easybuild is Jörg Saßmannshausen from Imperial College in London, UK.NOTE: this is an entry level discussion. And there is a QUIZ as well. If you know the answer to the two following questions email them to code4thought@proton.me :What is the main reason to use a tool like EasyBuild rather than installing software manually?Why is reproducible software installation important?And we have some links for you as well:https://easybuild.io easybuild homepagehttp://tutorial.easybuild.io tutorials for easybuildhttps://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild easybuild GitHubhttps://www.eessi.io European Environment for Scientific Software Installation (EESSI - pronounced "easy")https://www.eessi.io/docs/ the docs for EESSIhttps://github.com/spack Spack GitHubhttps://www.archer2.ac.uk/training/courses/200617-spack-easybuild/ a discussion on Spack and Easybuild by the Archer teamhttps://github.com/hpc-uk HPC-UK Support the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

My guest in this episode is Veronika Cheplygina, Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark. We talk about machine learning and AI in medicine and Veronika brings a badly needed realism to the discussions. In the latter part of our conversation we also focus on the difficult and sometimes frustrating aspects of academic life. I enjoyed my discussion with Veronika and I hope you will, too.https://veronikach.com Veronika's home pagehttps://dasya.itu.dk The Data-Intensive Systems and Applications institute in Denmark DASYA https://purrlab.github.io Patterns Revisited Lab, part of DASYA Support the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

In this last (English) episode of Season 6, I'll be talking to Sara Petti and Evgeny Karev from the Open Knowledge Foundation. Sara and Evgeny work on a project called Frictionless Data, which aims to make working with (open) data easier and more seamless. Like many organisations around open source and open data they invite contributions from engineers.Some links for the Open Knowledge Foundation and others mentioned in this episode:https://okfn.org Open Knowledge Foundation home pagehttps://github.com/okfn GitHub of Open Knowledge Foundationhttps://frictionlessdata.io Homepage of the Frictionless Data projecthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CKAN the CKAN project https://csvw.org CSV on the Webhttps://datadryad.org/stash Data Dryadhttps://zenodo.org ZenodoSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

I met Ghislain Vaillant for our interview at the Brain Institute at the Pitié Salpetrière Hospital in Paris. Ghislain has an interesting career path that took him from an RSE role in the UK to the private sector and back to academia (in France) again. Our conversation touches on differences in RSE roles between countries (e.g. UK/France) and how big events shape our careers.

In the second part of the diversity in the RSE community series, I am talking to Mariann Hardey. Mariann is an associate professor at Advanced Research Computing of the University of Durham, UK. She also published a book called 'The Culture of Women in Tech' in 2020. In our conversation we don't only talk about the barriers women and other underrepresented groups in tech still face, but also what is and can be done about it.
