I say “semi-spoileriffic” because I’m not going to go out of my way to give away any plot points or creature details you couldn’t get from watching the trailers and TV spots, but if you want to keep yourself pure as the driven snow, you might want to save this post for later.
We’re very excited to introduce the new rOpenSci Champions! This cohort will participate in the program and carry out their work in Spanish, allowing us to continue strengthening the open science and research software development community in this language. We’re excited about the projects they’ll be developing, which tackle real-world challenges across diverse disciplines and regions of Latin America.
Nos alegra muchísimo presentar a las nuevas personas que se suman como Campeones y Campeonas de rOpenSci. Este grupo experimentará el programa y trabajará en español, lo que nos permite seguir fortaleciendo la comunidad de ciencia abierta y desarrollo de software de investigación en este idioma. Nos llenan de entusiasmo los proyectos que van a desarrollar, que abordan desafíos reales desde distintas disciplinas y territorios de América Latina.
All your dreams are made, when you’re chained to the lesson and the teaching trade. Was that lecture, lab or lesson just a dream? Exactly what did you learn from the experience?
