Hi JB,

Could you share this on the BIC mailing list?

Cheers,

*Title: Communicating with Code: Clean code and computational
reproducibility*



*Abstract*: Academia is driven by publications, and so software is often
undervalued and prone to error. However, one could argue that the software
and instructions behind a publication are closer to the scholarship itself.
Therefore, we need code that is understandable both to other scientists and
to our future selves. With the goal of making code more understandable, we
will discuss four conventions in coding: naming, organization,
documentation, and optimization. We will come to see code as communication
of science, enabled by clean code and computational reproducibility.

*Bio*

Elizabeth is currently a Wu Tsai interdisciplinary postdoctoral research
fellow at Stanford University, working between the Poldrack and Linderman
labs.



As a psychologist and computational neuroscientist, her work focuses on
developing methods to characterize complex, naturalistic cognition in
health and disease. As part of her research, she helps to develop several
tools used across the open Python ecosystem such as Nilearn. She is also
actively involved in community initiatives to promote open,
interdisciplinary science. She currently serves as chair of the
Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) Communications Committee and as
a handling editor at the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS).
Additionally, she is a certified instructor with Software Carpentry.
