"In addition to workshop sessions which have directly benefited my day-to-day work, I met tons of potential collaborators many of whom I now work with to deliver new software training with tools I discovered at RSECon" says @AstroDimitrios, RSE at @metoffice

Super pumped to be part of this community, building software tools and BioImaging file formats for the future of science. Congrats @notjustmoore for herding all the cats.
Out now! "#OMEZarr: a #CloudOptimized #BioImaging #FileFormat with Int'l #Community Support" š Huge thanks to the 68 co-authors, across 32 institutions (see the quoted tweet) š If you use #OMEZarr & weren't involved, let's start the next report! š https://t.co/iSFOr3RYYU

Research software engineering has come of age. "From [their] unique position, RSEs can think differently about research questions and spur innovative solutions that scientists and data analysts alone might not reach." Read more in @NatureMedicine. https://t.co/kqtcLGdtaN

Software engineering is a discipline rooted in identifying major challenges and then constructing solutions to them, for the benefit of many. The important contributions of Research Software Engineers need to be recognized and rewarded as biomedical science advances.

We outline pathways for researchers to engage and work effectively with RSEs. These include networking, training through the @carpentries, and initiatives that champion Open Science such as @ReproHack, @openlifesci, @cdchck and the @turingway
