🎉 Happy International RSE Day 2022! Today we celebrate the amazing contribution of research software engineers in supporting and accelerating scientific research in the UK and across the world! #IntlRSEday

RSEs get up to a lot of fantastic work, but you’d expect us to say that! Why not read some posts from RSEs themselves (and add any we've missed!)👇

Research software plays a crucial part in academic research, but its visibility & reuse are still limited. That's why we are proud to announce the launch of the Research Software Directory (RSD), an online platform to promote the visibility, reuse & impact of research software!

Oh wow, new favourite Halloween clip 👻

Oh, if only it were that easy 😭

At last, I finished this review of a very interesting minisymposium at #PASC22 PASC25. The session approached Software Sustainability in CSE from many different levels, and I hope I captured that. Thoughts welcome! #RSEng #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareSustainability

Curious to get some #RSEng opinions on #TwitterMigration and move to Mastodon (@[email protected]) as natural alternative. It would be a shame to lose the follow and following list I have put a lot of time into on Twitter. A sacrifice worth making for principles?

Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

Doggos & little ones joining the anthro picket line today! Come for the cuteness, stay for the solidarity! (& tea + cake brought to us by the Anthropology Society!) #UCURising #UCUstrike Oxford UCU Oxford Anthropology Prof. Susana Carvalho Rhea Arini Ilse Pit Eben Kirksey Thomas Cousins

Thus really is a sinking ship. You can't even link to other social media sites now ⛵ Make the migration to Mastodon if you haven't already. help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…

This stone tablet from 1800-1600 BC shows that ancient Babylonians were able to approximate the square root of two with 99.9999% accuracy. How did they do it?

This is an important and fundamental right of workers that we need to protect. Consider signing: megaphone.org.uk/petitions/prot…

Call for papers: Standardized Software Frameworks for Robotics in Nuclear Applications. Contributions to the Research Topic will provide a unique perspective on robotics software in addition to knowledge on discipline-specific state-of-the-art research. frontiersin.org/research-topic…

Lots of people don't realise how difficult it is to work in higher education UCU member Chris explains what it's really like👇 Watch, RT, back our members #ucuRISING
