It's been a busy week away from the office for our Director of Curriculum Toby Hodges who attended the #deRSE26 conference at the University of Stuttgart!
He presented a talk on the developments around the AI Carpentry project, and also co-led two HPC Carpentry-related sessions.
Toby's talk, "Training to Protect Research Integrity in the Age of AI-assisted Coding," explored some of the open questions surrounding the use of LLMs for coding in research, including: what role should RSEs take in an environment where it has never been easier for researchers to produce code? https://events.hifis.net/event/2945/contributions/21155/
The talk was very well attended and received lots of really positive feedback afterwards about the direction the AI Carpentry project is headed, giving us confidence that we are on the right track. Thanks everyone for your contributions to the project so far!
And thank you, Toby, for all that you do for The Carpentries and our curricula! 🙏💙

Also attending the same conference in Bologna, Italy, is The Carpentries Director of Workshops and Training, SherAaron Hurt.
She is a member of the #csvconf 2025 organising team, working alongside other amazing open and data science colleagues to put together this year's programme: csvconf.com/schedule.html.
Well done SherAaron and your team! 👏

This has been a busy week of public community engagement for various members of The Carpentries Core Team!
First off, our Executive Director @drkariljordan is at #CSVCONF, sharing how The Carpentries is collaborating with GREI (Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative) to strengthen researcher & librarian skills in data/software management, ensuring high-quality, shareable deposits across repositories.

The lesson is aimed at post-graduate students, early career researchers or junior Research Software Engineers (#RSEs) who want to develop software to support their research using established best practices. They have foundational knowledge of Python, version control and using software tools from the command line shell (as might be obtained through participation in a Software Carpentry workshop).
It is also suitable for researchers or scientists who have foundational software training but wish to refresh, reinforce, or improve their skills and practices in the wider context of FAIR research, sharing, and writing software for open and reproducible research.

📢 In late 2024, we launched a collaboration between The Carpentries and the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), aiming to explore how generalist data repositories such as #Dataverse, #Dryad, #Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, #Vivli, and #Zenodo might be more intentionally woven into the data skills we teach. 🌟
In the process, we also asked ourselves some important questions:
❓ What would it look like if open data repositories weren’t just add-ons at the end of a workflow, but upfront teaching concepts in our lessons?
❓ How can we position generalist repositories as active components in retrieving and processing datasets?
❓How can we give researchers the tools not just to write clean code, but to publish their work in ways that make it reusable and citable by others?Learn about the important steps we have taken in this collaboration toward co-creating new lesson content: https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/06/update-on-the-carpentries-and-grei-collaboration/ 👏

A new lesson has been accepted to The Carpentries Lab last month, an Introduction to Deep Learning with Python.
The #CarpentriesLab is a place for high-quality, stable lessons. It provides a space and processes for open peer review of lessons, and hosts a collection of reviewed lessons for members of The Carpentries community to teach in their own workshops.
Read the blog post to learn more about the newly accepted lesson and the open peer review process that led to its acceptance: https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/03/carpentries-lab-introduction-to-deep-learning-with-python/
Many many thanks to Sarah Brown for acting as Guest Editor on the lesson review, and to @likeajumprope and Mike Laverick for providing reviews. Also, congratulations to the many authors who have contributed to the creation of this resource. 🎉
