Our panel discussion “Do we have the right tools for research?” took place online on Friday 5th November 2021. Our expert panelists discussed the use of spreadsheets in research, spreadsheets as powerful tools to handle data, and what’s available for researchers who wish to move beyond spreadsheets. We presented as many views as possible from using spreadsheets as a powerful tool in research data management to discussing options for moving beyond them.

We hosted free online live workshops and recorded presentations as part of the Research Software Camp: Beyond the Spreadsheet. All of the workshops and presentations were prepared and delivered by the speakers at the panel discussion "Do we have the right tools for research?" Our workshops included an introduction to OpenRefine, Filament, R, MatLab, and Google Sheets. Our presentations introduced Microsoft Lambda, Python and the perspective of a researcher who uses spreadsheets.

The Code Review Clinic ran from 8-12 November 2021 with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. Our aim was to allow first time/beginner coders to get general but targeted feedback on their code from an expert.
