At the end of March, members of our Research Software Engineering (RSE) team ran a Carpentries-style training course for researchers in the environmental sciences. The training took place over five days, and introduced the researchers to intermediate-level software development skills and practices.

Find out more about how one of our experienced RSEs, Andrew Jerrison, has been providing extra capacity to the University eLab team, developing bespoke features for their software to enhance management of datasets and lab operations for an international customer.

Earlier last month, members of our Research Software Engineering team ran a Carpentries-style training for the Henry Royce Institute. The training took place over two days, where day one covered Introduction to Python and day two covered Data Analysis and Visualization.

Several of our Research Software Engineers are co-authors on a recent Nature Scientific Reports paper which found that people living in urban areas have worse hay fever symptoms than those living in the countryside.

The recently relaunched R User Group (R.U.M) is looking for volunteers to form an organising team to help plan and deliver R User Group activities at the University.

Did you know that our pool of Research Software Engineers are not just available for long-term, big money projects? Even if you have very little funding or a very small amount of work for us to do, come and speak to us!

We want to make sure that the training we request from external providers meets the need of the University research community. This time we are asking about Wolfram Research Mathematica training.

Dr Sarah MacQuarrie from the Institute of Education has developed a new way of disseminating and promoting student projects with a little help from our Research Software Engineers.

The popular R user group at the University of Manchester (R.U.M) has recently been relaunched with a new online home - “The R User Group channel “ on Microsoft Teams.

Tom Flint from the Department of Materials was recently awarded the Donald Julius Groen prize for his outstanding paper from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Here he explains how the use of CSF was at the heart of his research.
