DESCRIPTION:In 2012 the Collaborations Workshop in the UK coined the phras
 e research software engineering to acknowledge the importance of software 
 in research. Since then we have seen a steep growth in software engineers 
 and RSE groups in the UK and other countries. But despite the fact that th
 ere are more of us masks the fact that the demand for sustainable software
  in research far outstrips the RSE resources we have. Add to the fact that
  software engineering is still fighting for recognition in science.\n\nThi
 s session discusses how podcasting can help with making our work more wide
 ly known. And also to look how podcast as a medium can be used in an educa
 tional context.\n\nDr Peter Schmidt\, former research software engineer at
  UCL\, now full-time podcaster mainly for the RSE podcast 'Code for Though
 t'.\nPeter lives in London after having moved there from Germany in 1997. 
 He has worked in particle physics and medical physics research as well as 
 software engineer and architect in a number of companies. \n\n
