Enabling Open Science Through Research Code - Episode 1: A Conversation with Researchers Who Code

This resource sheet was created for Episode 1 of a six-part meetup series focusing on Enabling Open Science through Research Code.

The series kicked off on International Research Software Engineering Day.

In this inaugural meetup, we met several researchers who spend a significant part of their day programming. We learned about their projects, preferred programming languages, the teams they work in, their career journeys, and what advice they have for fellow research software developers. 

Our speakers included:
- Dr Biandri Joubert, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa
- Dr Gaurav Bhalerao, Nuffield Dept of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, UK
- Mr Mahmoud Abdelrazek, Advanced Research Computing, University College London, UK
- Mr Prasad Sutar, University of Bristol, UK

The event was hosted as a collaboration between Talarify, RSSE Africa, RSE Asia, the African Reproducibility Network, and the Research Software Alliance.
