CAKE had a great time at RSECon26 in Sheffield — sharing what we do, meeting the RSE community, exchanging ideas, and, of course, having some CAKE along the way. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, chatted with us. Have a safe trip, see you at RSECon27! #RSECon26 #CAKE #UKDRI

Well that's it for #RSECon26 on the train home with several green t-shirts. Feeling inspired to try a few things, and also a bit sorry for @alexlubbock.com who will likely pay the price for my ambitions. Looking forward to #RSECon27!

Lovely talk by @mdsimpson.co.uk at #RSECon26 about his work around mental health and his @softwaresaved.bsky.social fellowship. He had some great tips which might help some. I particularly liked "Eat the frog"!

Had a lot of fun being on the panel of the @biofair.bsky.social workshop "Does reuse still beat rebuilding in the AI era?" At #RSECon26. Lots of great conversations and questions from the audience.

SHAREing at the #RSECon26 poster session yesterday 🚀
If you’re here, come and find Eva for a chat about the project, our current funding call, or just to say hi! And if you can’t find her, try the CAKE booth (and get some CAKE while you’re there 🍰😉)!

Excellent talk by @kirstypringle.bsky.social as keynote of the second day of #RSECon26 around the #GreenRSE moment. Really interested in the #GreenDisk accreditations, and something I would be keen to pursue @rosfrankinst.bsky.social following the excellent work we have already done in our labs.

Kirsty Pringle’s #RSECon26 keynote brought the environmental impact of research computing into focus. Her message: the big thing is to start. RSEs can drive more sustainable computing, while UK DRI can foster the people, skills and leadership to make it happen.
