Good to see, that there are researchers that do something about it.  Meet Rima-Maria Rahal and Peter Steinbach from the German Reprodicibility Network. I met Rima and Peter in 2023 to talk about why reproducibility is important, what we as researchers can do to make our work more reproducible and what the network is doing in Germanyhttps://reproducibilitynetwork.de  The German Reproducibility Network homepagehttps://www.ukrn.org The UK Reproducibility Networkhttps://reproducibilitynetwork.nl The network in the Netherlandshttps://www.ukrn.org/global-networks/ and a list of other networks around the globe (from the UK network site)Support the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textWith 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!

Send us a textIt'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!
