Show Notes
In this episode, host Richard has a conversation with guest Malvika Sharan, a senior research associate and open source community manager at The Turing Way. Malvika gives fascinating insights into the journey and rationale behind The Turing Way, which is a data science guide and community collaborative project, seeking to make data science more open, accessible, and inclusive. The Turing Way is also much more than its curated guides, serving as a space for enthusiasts to exchange ideas and contribute to...

The Turing PodcastThe Coffee Pod - Malvika SharanWelcome to another Coffee Pod episode! A short series about the Turing's AI for Science and Government fund, that gives you the chance to hear about the people behind the project. Each episode you’ll be listening to a different colleague, their background, career and most importantly… how they like their coffee.
Today Bea is speaking to Malvika Sharan, a senior researcher. Malvika works on Open Research in the Tools, Practices and Systems theme.
2023-04-2115 minCode for Thought[EN] Mind the Gap!There are a lot of excellent training programmes for researchers and RSEs, like the Code Refineries and various Carpentries. But with demand of experienced engineers growing rapidly, we have a gap in training enough RSEs. In this episode I meet with Jeremy Cohen, Radovan Bast, Weronika Filinger and Malvika Sharan to discuss training and what we can do to fill the gap. There are a lot of training programs, but here are the links for those mentioned in the panel discussion: https://software-carpentry.org Software Carpentryhttps://coderefinery.org Code Refineryhttp://www.hpc-carpentry.org HPC Carpentryhttps://excalibur.ac...

Open Science RadioOSR127 The Carpentries and CarpentryCon [EN]In the beginning of 2018 the community initiatives Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry merged to form The Carpentries – a broad joint community of instructors, trainers, maintainers and supporters in general sharing a mission to teach foundational computational and data science skills to researchers. In the end of May / beginning of June, the first ever CarpentryCon was taking place and was a great success.
Early July we spoke with Tracy Teal (current Executive Director of The Carpentries), as well as with Malvika Sharan and Fotis Psomopoulos (both Co-Chairs for the CarpentryCon) about the Carpentries, the event itself and what it...
