Every Thursday, some of our team gets together in the cafe area (with baked goods!) to offer a free hour of research software consultation to anyone at @UKAEAofficial . This Thursday was particularly special because it is International RSE Day #IntlRSEday!!!

We have two members of the RSE team @UKAEAofficial travelling up to Newcastle for #RSECon22 . @mattasdata is on his way, and Aby is already there at the RSE Leaders Meeting. Please seek them out if you want to talk #RSEng in #fusion #energy
Getting excited seeing all the tweets about people on their way to #RSECon22 so I had to do my own. On the train to Newcastle and hoping to cover this battered laptop in a few more stickers 🤩💻 Representing @RSECulham and @SoftwareSaved with T-shirt 👕 #RSEng

I'm excited to join celebrations of #RSE10Years! 🎉️ What does the Research Software Engineering #RSEng movement mean to me? In a sentence, it has helped me find a career after I had given up on an academic one. It is hard to overstate just how important that was.
