English Edition: together with Meag Doherty and Zihao Lu I want to shine a light on UX/UI design in research and put the capital "D" back into it. The way we design our software and research projects shapes the way not only the way they are being used, but also how successful they will be.

I met Deborah at the Research Software Engineering 2024 conference in Newcastle, UK, where she gave an impassioned speech about her drive to carve out a new career and new opportunities in STEM. Here she talks about how she got here and the obstacles she faces.

Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 9 of Code for Thought. The season opens with a ByteSized RSE session - the short online courses with companion episodes for all of you who do science and write code. ByteSized RSE is sponsored by the Universe HPC project.
Subject for this episode is data visualisation and how you could use the perception features of our brain (see Gestalt psychology) to tell a compelling story with your data. My guest is Kirsty Pringle from the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK.

English Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution.

Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):

• https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of Delaware (which still exists). There are a lot of links to his work on NTP
  • https://eecs.engin.umich.edu/stories/remembering-alum-david-mills-who-brought-the-internet-into-perfect-time
• https://www.ntp.org/ The Network Time Protocol homepage with tons of details and specifications on how it all works
• https://www.nwtime.org The Network Time Foundation
• https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/brief/arch/arch.pdf a presentation on how NTP works
• https://www.nwtime.org/bio/harlan-stenn/ Harlan Stenn's Bio
• https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc778 I think this is the first RFC of the early version of NTP
• https://www.ntp.org/reflib/rfc/ This contains a list of all RFCs related to NTP

The sounds you're hearing are from Phill Niblock, musician, composer, artist and his recording you can get on the internet archive

English Edition: Arnaud Legrand, Christophe Pouzat and Konrad Hinsen, three French researchers, who went through the pain of making research data and software reproducible. Out of that pain grew a set of online courses. I met with them to discuss how they developed the courses, the steps they had to go through and what the courses cover.
