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 ~2 weeks, 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.
Since April 2021, we stream whenever we have an interesting topic.
