Interested in programming C++?
I will be teaching an introductory and an intermediate course in Mainz, Germany. End September and early October. For dates and details, visit our course page: https://indico.zdv.uni-mainz.de/category/9/
New server, new #introduction:
Hi! I'm Eric! I'm a scientific programmer & educator who writes mostly 
code. I currently work part time at #UniversityOfArizona where I help researchers by making R packages, #Shiny apps, automated data workflows, and training them on #ReproducibleResearch practices. I also mentor data scientists for @Posit Academy. I am #OpenToWork as a contractor if any of those skills sound useful to you.
My background is in plant chemical ecology and population ecology and for my PhD I studied #tea and did field work in China. I love tea (although I've been drinking coffee more and more lately) and practice #GongFuCha when I can. I love #foraging and tasting new things.
I currently live in #Tucson but the #BayArea will always be my home.
Games and History Take Centre Stage at Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Curious Festival
Unreal Pasts, Playful Presents: The growing cultural and academic significance of videogames will be highlighted this September, as the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) hosts a fascinating panel discussion as part of its annual Curious festival of knowledge.
The event, titled Unreal pasts, playful presents: history and fantasy in games and media, will take place on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, both in-person at the RSE’s historic headquarters in Edinburgh and online.
The panel will delve into how digital games offer immersive, emotional experiences of historical events, while often blurring the boundaries between real and “unreal” histories by incorporating fantasy and sci-fi elements. The discussion, a collaboration between the Historical Games Network and the Imperial War Museums Institute, will explore how games invite us to play with the past and shape how history is represented and reimagined.
Of particular interest to the Scottish games community is the participation of Dr. Tim Peacock, Senior Lecturer in History & War Studies and the Director/co-founder of the University of Glasgow’s Games and Gaming Lab. Dr. Peacock is a key partner in the Scottish Games Network’s recently announced Hello World! student startup summit, collaborating with SGN and the Scottish Games Education Network to help nurture the next generation of founders.
He will be joined by an expert panel including Dr. Esther Wright, founder of the Historical Games Network; public historian Dr. Chris Kempshall; Fruzsina Pittner, a UI Artist at Scopely; and Mimi Markham, a PhD Researcher from the University of Glasgow.
This event is a fantastic opportunity for developers, writers, artists, and students to gain a deeper perspective on how our medium interacts with history and culture, and to hear from leading thinkers at the intersection of academia and game development.

Dr Minh Bui, co-developer of the globally-used phylogenetics software IQ-TREE2 and winner of the inaugural ARDC Eureka Prize for Excellence in Research Software, will be delivering the #RSAA25 keynote!
Together with Professor Robert Lanfear (Australian National University), Dr Bui developed IQ-TREE2 – an open-source tool turning DNA data into evolutionary insights. It has been used to study everything from the origins of life to the spread of COVID-19.
