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 Carpentries Aug 20

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)

It was great gathering with the other #RSEs from EPFL for some lightning talks. You can find the presentations here:

https://rse.epfl.ch/post/2024-12-12_lightning-talks/

We covered how to use local image generation AIs, our work on long-term and short-term contracts at #EPFL, as well as the economical impact from LLMs...

Thanks #C4DT_EPFL for sponsoring the pizzas!

December Lightning Talks

Thanks for all the persons present for the December Lightning Talks! It was as always great fun with good discussions. Son Pham-Ba - Local “AI” generated images Valérian Rousset - CDD/CDI workgroup return Ahmed Elghareeb - Environmental Impact of AI and its supply chain And a picture at the end:

A second #EmergingVoices plenary talk at #RSECon24 from Jack Atkinson @jatkinson1000 asking if #RSEs (research software engineers) can do research? YES!

Bringing together deep knowledge of the domain AND the software for computational processes.
