RSECon24
The title for the talk was originally "SQLite for Scientists", but I changed it when it became obvious that there were people many other fields working in research software engineering.
This toot thread includes links to the slides and some discussion around the talk at the time.

For those interested in #json with #sqlite, here's a link to the docs. I use it to store arrays of items with multiple nested attributes. I don't use the items elsewhere, so it isn't worth the extra effort to define normalised tables. It's not a free-for-all, however, as I create the items as #Python #pydantic models and use `item.model_dump_json()` to get the JSON string to insert. The SQLite `for_each` function iterates and retrieves the attributes. https://sqlite.org/json1.html#jeach #rsecon24 3/2!
SQLite for Everyone!
My talk from the 2024 Research Software Engineering conference is up on YouTube.
It's a 25-minute intro to the benefits relational databases and #SQL. The target audience is "past me", from when I was working with data as a research scientist and learning #python.
It includes a tour of useful tools including #sqlitebrowser, @qgis, @datasette and #etlhelper.
SQLite for Scientists
Jack Atkinson HAS MOVEDI have written up my #EmergingVoices plenary talk from @ResearchSoftEng #RSECon24 as a blog post for those who want to review my ideas around #Research in #RSE, the importance of communities, and my thoughts around #publication with software that I hope to explore with my 2025 @SoftwareSaved fellowship. Also includes a short section on my "backstory".

Thoughts and comments welcomed.
ineitiIn fact our talk about "Reproducible environments is all you need" during #rsecon24 is on youtube. If you're interested how to make your project more reproducible and easier to participate for others, check it out:

I already did some PRs to other projects including a `devbox.json` - it's really useful to have the "correct" version of all those developer tools.
Re runnable code is all you need
In our latest blog post, the organisers of the "Weather and Climate Birds of a Feather Session" present a retrospective on the event, which took place during #RSECon24.
The CarpentriesA belated congratulations to Aleksandra Nenadic, who was recognised for her outstanding contributions to Teaching and Education in the Research Software Engineering community at #RSECon24 last month. Aleks is one of our Instructor Trainers and Lesson Developer Trainers, and has been a leading member of the UK Carpentries community for many years. 👏 🎉
Well done, Aleks, and thank you for all that you do for The Carpentries community! 🙏
