Research software is not only an essential part of doing research, but it is an important research output. The producers of pipelines, workflows and software packages are increasingly being recognised for their contributions. How can you make, share and maintain good research software in a way that will advance your career?
Do you write code for your research? Are you making these new workflows, pipelines, scripts or computational methods available as software? Do you see your software contributions as a pathway to impact your career? If you answer yes to any of these questions, please join us!
Co-hosted by the ARDC, Australian BioCommons and the ABACBS, for this panel discussion they have invited people who invest a lot of their time, in writing, reviewing and maintaining bioinformatics software tools. We will have a wide-ranging discussion on how this benefits researchers and others, the effect on career development, research impact via software and what can be done to increase the recognition for this work.
The panel discussion will run for approximately 45 minutes, followed by a Q&A session.
MC: A/Prof Denis Bauer, Principal Research Scientist, Transformational Bioinformatics, CSIRO
