Research Software Hour is an online stream/show about scientific computing and research software. It is designed to provide the skills typically picked up via informal networks: each week, we do some combination of exploring new tools, analyzing and improving someone’s research code, and discussion.
Watchers can take part and contribute code to us which we analyze and discuss on stream.
We broadcast on Twitch Tuesdays at 20:30 Oslo time / 21:30 Helsinki time. Convert to your timezone.

What is Research Software Hour?
… don’t we wish we knew, too! We hope to figure this out with you.
Programming can be fun. Research can be fun. But when combined, many skills fall through the gaps. We think that computing is best learned like an apprenticeship, but unfortunately most researchers don’t have access to high-quality computing mentorship.
