Code for Thought

English Edition: PsychoPy is an open source library widely used in behavioural sciences. I met with Jonathan Peirce, author and psychology researcher himself, about what the library does and how he, and his team, manage to keep it running while still doing research.

English Edition: The Institut for Research Software (formerly the Software Sustainability Institute) in the UK can look back on a long tradition of promoting 'better software, better research'. A key element of this is the fellowship. Together with my guests Oscar Seip and Shoaib Sufi (both from the University of Manchester) we explore the history of the fellowship and how it evolved over time. 
NOTE: applications for the next round of fellowship is OPEN until 5 October 2026.

English Edition: Just in time for the RSE conference in Sheffield 2026 here a portrait of one of the larger groups of digital research professionals in the UK: the team of the Advanced Research Computing Centre (ARC) at University College London (UCL). Because of its size, I met with a number of staff from different parts of the departments: Jonathan Cooper, Harry Moss, Mahmoud Abdelrazek, Milan Malfait, Stella Prins, Camilla Harris and Hollie Rowland.
