Applications open for 2025 Summer School in Open Science + Research Software Engineering
Madicken Munk, Joseph H. Kennedy • June 3, 2025
Do you want your science, research, and software to be open and accessible? Do you use or develop software in your research? Do you have some foundational skills and would like to build on and expand them?
If this sounds like you, then you might be interested in the upcoming Summer School in Open Science and Research Software Engineering. In August 2025 we will be hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and organized in collaboration with the Alaska Satellite Facility and the Geophysical Institute.
URSSI Welcomes First Early-Career Fellows
Nic Weber and Kyle Niemeyer • April 25, 2025
We’re thrilled to announce the first two recipients of the US Research Software Sustainability Institute (URSSI) Early-Career Fellowship. This program supports emerging researchers to advance scientific software development practices.
Matthew Feickert will develop an open-source course on creating reproducible software environments for scientific and AI/ML applications. His project “Reproducible Machine Learning Workflows for Scientists” will focus on using tools like Pixi to create version-controlled research environments with specialized hardware accelerator support. Matthew will organize a workshop for researchers across scientific domains and also host a tutorial on Pixi at the 2025 SciPy conference.
