Are you ready to get some credit for the coding you’ve been doing as part of your research?
This episode will focus on ways to make your code contribute to your resumé. We will look at how you can share your code with the world (including various software licensing options), get persistent identifiers and make your code citable, and even how you can publish your code as an article!

Dr Kate Huddlestone, Senior Lecturer, Department of General Linguistics, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
I am a senior lecturer in the Department of General Linguistics at Stellenbosch University, the managing editor for Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus (SPiL Plus) and deputy chairperson for the Southern African Linguistics and Applied Linguistics Society (SALALS). My research focuses primarily on South African Sign Language (SASL) but I also work on aspects of the syntax and pragmatics of Afrikaans and South African English. I use ELAN to annotate SASL data collected from deaf signers. I use R to analyse the effect of linguistic and sociolinguistic variables on lexical variation, language structure and language use.

Mars Lee, Technical Illustrator, NumPy & Open Source Design
Mars Lee is a Technical Illustrator that makes byte-sized comics that explain technical topics! She uses art, an under-represented skillset in open source, to get scientists contributing. From contributing back to libraries they use, she hopes scientists share their own research code and software. She is active in the Scientific Python space, with contributions to NumPy, JupyterLab, scikit-learn and more. Her most recent works are the ‘How to Contribute to NumPy’ comics - https://heyzine.com/flip-book/3e66a13901.html
