This as a great mentoring programme: 5 โญ. I participated as mentee and received important guidance to navigate the tricky early career stage. This is especially important in a relatively new profession like #RSEng where career paths are not yet firmly defined. DM any questions.
Mentoring Scheme 2022-2023 is open https://t.co/bMIf6coKaG
SocRSE are looking for 30 mentor-mentee pairs. Our pilot last year was really successful. Sign up on the quick no-commitment Expression of Interest form and we'll email round full application forms in a few weeks.
We are hiring on the #RSEng team @UKAEAofficial ! Are you interested in using #ResearchSoftware to help shape the future of the worldโs energy supply? Take a look at the link to see how to apply: https://t.co/VjivokR1J4

Lots of people don't realise how difficult it is to work in higher education
UCU member Chris explains what it's really like๐

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.

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?
Thus really is a sinking ship. You can't even link to other social media sites now โต Make the migration to Mastodon if you haven't already. https://t.co/cSpl2lmHxj
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!
Curious to get some #RSEng opinions on #TwitterMigration and move to @joinmastodon 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?
Signing up on Mastodon is easy! Unlike a traditional social network, it's not a single website. Instead, you pick a "server" which is what hosts all your data, similar to an e-mail provider. Each server gives you access to the same social network.
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!
๐ 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 youโd expect us to say that! Why not read some posts from RSEs themselves (and add any we've missed!)๐
