Here's the YouTube playlist with all the available talks from the 2024 Society of Research Software Engineering Conference.

The title for the talk was originally "SQLite for Scientists", but I changed it when it became obvious that there were people many other fields working in research software engineering.
This toot thread includes links to the slides and some discussion around the talk at the time.
SQLite for Everyone!
My talk from the 2024 Research Software Engineering conference is up on YouTube.
It's a 25-minute intro to the benefits relational databases and #SQL. The target audience is "past me", from when I was working with data as a research scientist and learning #python.
It includes a tour of useful tools including #sqlitebrowser, @qgis, @datasette and #etlhelper.
English edition [EN] #code4thought: Deborah Udoh gave an inspiring talk during the 'emerging voices' session at #RSECon24 last year. And here she talks to me about her path to engineering: facing many odds, but never letting them slow her down. Listen to it on your podcast app, YouTube podcast or https://codeforthought.buzzsprout.com
I have written up my #EmergingVoices plenary talk from @ResearchSoftEng #RSECon24 as a blog post for those who want to review my ideas around #Research in #RSE, the importance of communities, and my thoughts around #publication with software that I hope to explore with my 2025 @SoftwareSaved fellowship. Also includes a short section on my "backstory".

Thoughts and comments welcomed.
In fact our talk about "Reproducible environments is all you need" during #rsecon24 is on youtube. If you're interested how to make your project more reproducible and easier to participate for others, check it out:

I already did some PRs to other projects including a `devbox.json` - it's really useful to have the "correct" version of all those developer tools.
In our latest blog post, the organisers of the "Weather and Climate Birds of a Feather Session" present a retrospective on the event, which took place during #RSECon24.
A belated congratulations to Aleksandra Nenadic, who was recognised for her outstanding contributions to Teaching and Education in the Research Software Engineering community at #RSECon24 last month. Aleks is one of our Instructor Trainers and Lesson Developer Trainers, and has been a leading member of the UK Carpentries community for many years.
Well done, Aleks, and thank you for all that you do for The Carpentries community!

English edition [EN] #code4thought: 'Green' computing had a strong showing at the RSE Conference #rsecon24 in Newcastle, UK, this year. And a lot has happened in this area in the past 12 months. With more yet to come, e.g. a special interest group. As you can hear in this bonus episode - now available on your podcast apps, YouTube podcast or at https://codeforthought.buzzsprout.com
Another year, another RSE Conference. It was privilege to help bring this amazing event to the north east once again.
We even managed to get most of the team together for a group shot. Look how much we've grown!
#RSECon24 was Kara Moraw's first time at the annual conference for Research Software Engineering. Find out more about her experience in this blog post originally published on the @EPCC website: https://www.software.ac.uk/blog/review-rsecon24
This is the UK Government "Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework" for Software Developer.
It is an attempt to define expectations for staff in different IT jobs and compares the same role at Junior, Senior, Lead levels.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending #RSECon24 in Newcastle, and it was an amazing experience filled with great people, insightful sessions at a fantastic location.
Thanks to the Society of Research Software Engineering for the bursary, CSC for providing the work time to participate and to all the wonderful people who made this event so rewarding through shared conversations and ideas.
Looking forward to continuing the discussions and collaborations and hope to see you again next year!
