How do we turn distributed AI infrastructure into a unified scientific instrument?

The winner of the 2026 eScience Center-Lorentz Competitionβ€”"Beyond Models"β€”aims to do just that. The team will host an intensive workshop at @LorentzCenter to shape the next decade of federated AI infrastructure with 460 hours of dedicated support from our #RSEs.

Congrats to the organizing team! πŸŽ‰

Can you claim to be a real #HPC software engineer if you've never coded with at least 2 of #Fortran, #MPI, #OpenMP, or #CUDA?

Can you claim to be a modern #supercomputing scientist if you've never worked with at least 2 of #cloud, #AI/#ML, #FP16, or #RSEs?

The year at #ARC (#durham) update for this year.
Dr Samantha Finnigan is telling their experiences. 10 #RSEs, difficult to get infrastructure people, they've continued with the N8 and T-Levels internship programme.
Challenges: becoming grant holders, but can't hold funds.

The lesson is aimed at post-graduate students, early career researchers or junior Research Software Engineers (#RSEs) who want to develop software to support their research using established best practices. They have foundational knowledge of Python, version control and using software tools from the command line shell (as might be obtained through participation in a Software Carpentry workshop).

It is also suitable for researchers or scientists who have foundational software training but wish to refresh, reinforce, or improve their skills and practices in the wider context of FAIR research, sharing, and writing software for open and reproducible research.

Andrea Townsend-Nicholson (#UCL) is #stepup2025 keynote, Bringing the Virtual Human to Life
Virtual Human is an ambitious project that could simulate drugs effects on your body, as well as simulate how diet and exercise impacts your body.
The trailer is cool, when will the whole movie come up? (I'm envisioning an apocalyptic style of #RSEs trying to fix software bugs in the virtual humans that then get replicated in the non-virtial bodies)
