Software Carpentry featured in Nature

The current edition of Nature Methods contains an article about information technology in lab work, featuring the developer behind Software Carpentry, Dr Greg Wilson.

Greg will be familiar to many of our readers as the presenter of our Software Carpentry / SoundSoftware Autumn School 2010 (videos here). The article contains some interesting insights for scientists dealing with software and IT in their work.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
