Code review plays a crucial role in ensuring quality in the software development lifecycle, and it is a great practice for knowledge transfer within teams.
Code reviews are an essential practice to ensure standards in the software development industry and the area of digital humanities (DH) should be no exception. These comprehensive checks offer a pathway to ensure code is not just valid, but also clear to others, maintainable, and permits the author to grow and further develop skills based on constructive feedback.
In this instalment of Research Software Security Snippets, we're going to talk about secrets! Not those deep and dark things, but rather all those bits of information you need in your code for it to run that you don’t want shared with everyone else.

How do you create something from nothing?
Over the course of four days earlier in April, a group of us at the Open Science Retreat spent time discussing challenges and opportunities with usability in Open Source Scientific Software. As a way to wrap up the time spent together, a few group members wrote personal narratives (including self-assigned catchy titles!) that highlight some of the individual and collective experiences in usability.

At the recent Open Science Retreat, a group of us from across scientific domains dove into our issues of usability in scientific software. Below is a recap of the discussions and next steps.
SSI fellow Gemma Turon shares her experience with the Research Data Alliance, giving an overview of what ir is and how to get involved.
SSI Fellow James Byrne reflects on and recaps his experience at Collaborations Workshop 2023.
SSI Fellow Luke Abraham, National Centre for Atmospheric Science and University of Cambridge, speaks about the benefits of in-person training and his experience organising a course on the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosols model in December 2022 at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry’s Computer Lab.
