    [ES] ¿Qué es la ingeniería de software de investigación?

    Versión  en espagñol: El software se está comiendo al mundo, y esto incluye al mundo científico. En estos días, hacer ciencia requiere también desarrollar software, ya sea usando Python para analizar datos, o construyendo aplicaciones web en JavaScript para compartir modelos computacionales con expertos. Mientras muchos científicos se encargan ellos mismos de estas tareas, otros las delegan a especialistas en desarrollo de software científico. Estos especialistas tienen el título de "ingenieros de software de investigación". En esta edición del podcast, Sofía Miñano y Carlos Gavidia-Calderón, ambos ingenieros de software de investigación trabajando en el Reino Unido, conversan sobre su profesión. Entre otras cosas, comentan: Cómo se puede hacer carrera en ingeniería de software de investigación.Las diferencias que ven entre construir software dentro y fuera de la comunidad científica.Los retos de la ingeniería de software y de la ciencia en Latinoamérica..La comunidad de ingenieros de software y científicos hispanohablantes.Links Seminario “Charlas RSE en espanol”: https://charlas-rse-espanol.github.io/ Conferencia RSLA 2026: https://rs-latam.org/ ixpantia: https://www.ixpantia.com/en/ Link a la transcripción en español:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlas-rse-espanol/codeforthought-transcripts/refs/heads/main/20-S11-ES-RSEEspagnol_reviewed_ES.txt  Link to the translated transcript in English: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlas-rse-espanol/codeforthought-transcripts/refs/heads/main/20-S11-ES-RSEEspagnol_reviewed_EN.txt Get in touch Thank you for listening!

    [EN] When Bits Rot - with C McKean, L Talboom, A Page-Mitchell

    English Edition: floppy disks, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, SSD drives - no matter what you choose to store your data on - ultimately they all decay. With my guests Callum McKean, Leontien Talboom and Adrian Page-Mitchell, we're going to talk about what kinds of data we find on old drives, why we want to get them in the first place, and what can go wrong with the storage media.
