    [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!
