About
Come to talk about tools for your research and/or computer stuff in a social environment.
If you want to know how computational tools and code can improve your science or you just want to meet “open scienc-y” people: join us. Especially if you’re stuck on a computational problem in your research feel free to bring it along, we might be able to help (or at least point you in the right direction).
No registration etc. needed!
When and Where
We meet every four weeks on a Tuesday at 6 pm online for about one hour. After the pandemic we hope to return to “Neotopia”. Feel free to join the mailing list and/or Rocket Chat if you have any questions/topic suggestions beforehand.. (We closed our former Gitter chat).
Please bring your own computer, as we cannot provide any resources in this regard and then can also work through installations.
Topics
In addition to the open discussions we also aim to talk about specific topics at each HackyHour. However, prior knowledge or interest in these topics is not a prerequisite.
