Send us a textIn this episode of ByteSized we look at code reviews and GitHub. Code reviews have a long tradition (see the link to Michael Fagan's paper from 1976 below). Modern code management tools like GitHub, GitLab and others provide features to integrate code reviews with your overall development and deployment workflow.In this episode we look specifically at GitHub and how you can use the mechanism of 'pull requests' to start a conversation and review with your colleagues.In my conversation with Thibault Lestang from Imperial, we discuss what to look out for when doing a code review with your colleagues. And the fact that reviews are still useful, even if you are not using Github. Linkshttps://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5388086 Michael Fagan's paper on code inspectionshttps://git-scm.com/ The GIT versioning system book.

Send us a textIn this episode we speak to Shoaib Sufi and Rachael Ainsworth from the Software Sustainability Institute’s Community team about their Event Organisation Guide and some upcoming SSI events.The Event Organisation Guide brings together years of experience of the SSI in organising events. It covers different stages of the event organisation process from idea through feasibility, sign off, running your event project and closing down. The guide can be tailored to your needs, giving hints and tips on varied subjects such as venue, catering, budget, agenda, publicity and more. Read the Event Organisation Guide on Read the Docs.If you’d like to raise any issues, offer suggestions or get involved, you can use the GitHub project associated with the guide. Read how SSI Communications Manager Selina Aragon used the guide to plan the first Research Software Camp in this blog post and find out more about our upcoming Research Software Camp on supporting mental health in research.Read Shoaib’s blog post on Behind the scenes: SSI Event Organisation Guide which explores the how and why of the guide.Find out more about Collaborations Workshop 2023 (CW23). Support the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textAfter 3 years, the RSE Conference returned to an in-person event, this time held at the Frederick Douglas Centre in Newcastle, UK.Apart from meeting people that I only met online so far, it was also the first RSE conference for me personally and the first time I recorded with a live audience. The subject of the event was: RSE the next 10 years. Now that we passed the 10th anniversary of the birth of research software engineering as we know - what will the next 10 years bring.With me on the panel wereIdil Ozdemir (University College London)Simon Hettrick (Software Sustainability Institute)Jennifer Richards (University of Newcastle)Anika Cawthorn (University College London)Michael James (EPSRC - UKRI)https://rsecon2022.society-rse.org RSE Conference 2022 site with links to the programhttps://www.software.ac.uk Software Sustainability Institutehttps://society-rse.org Society for Research Software Engineering in the UKSupport the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textFor this episode I am very excited to talk to Ben Goldacre. Ben has an outstanding career in medicine, science and science communication and is the author of many articles and books, like e.g. "Bad Science". Today is he running the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science in Oxford, UK.I met with Ben Goldacre earlier this year (2022) to discuss his report on 'Better, Broader, Safer: Using Health Data for Research and Analysis'. This report, published in April 2022 and commissioned by the UK government, is based on more than 300 individual interviews and many more with key stakeholder groups. One of the key findings and recommendations is the need for proper software engineering. Needless to say that RSEs play an important part in this. In fact, Ben has been a strong supporter and promoter for Research Software Engineering as well as open science and software. Here a few linkshttps://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/team/ben-goldacre Ben Goldacre's web-sitehttps://twitter.com/bengoldacre Ben on Twitterhttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/better-broader-safer-using-health-data-for-research-and-analysis - 'Better, Broader, Safer: Using Health Data for Research and Analysis' report, April 2022https://www.bennett.ox.ac.uk Bennett InstituteLicence: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Support the showThank you for listening!
