ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers. 
And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.

ENGLISH EDITION: Beyond Open Research is a project at Imperial College London (UK), that tries to change research culture more open and transparent. I met with Dr Hamid Khan, who was leading the project and Prof Julie McCann, Vice-Dean for the Faculty of Engineering to find out more about exactly how they want to go "beyond" open research.

In May 2024, I attended a workshop/training course on Software Management Plans (SMP), held at the University Gustave Eiffel east of Paris, France.
In this episode I talk to the organisers and participants about why SMPs might be useful and under what circumstances.

My guest for this episode is Dr AJ Lauer. AJ has been working hard to make the HPC workplace a more open and welcoming environment. She was inclusivity chair at SC21 in St Louis, US and worked with other groups such as Women in HPC. Lately, in 2023, she created her organisation 'Thriving Ibis' to work with senior managers and leaders in the field.

In the second part episode on the Turing Way, I meet with contributors like Patricia Herterich and Sarah Gibson - who were part of the original team - as well as Malvika Sharan and Anne Steele who joined later.
Through these conversations I hope to show how the Turing Way transitioned from being an online guide for reproducibility and open science to a thriving community with members across the globe.
