249+
> We have started an exciting webinar series for K-12 students in collaboration with Reach The World. Classrooms can sign up for free! We have already over 500 students registered and there is space for more!
250+
Please forward to schools, teachers, K-12 students. Don’t hesitate to contact [Sandra Gesing](mailto:[email protected]) if you have questions.

What makes a supercomputer “super”? What is quantum computing? What’s the difference, and how does AI (artificial intelligence) fit in?
253+
254+
Journey behind the headlines with an exciting new opportunity for K-12 classrooms! US-RSE has partnered with global education non-profit Reach the World to launch a free eight-week virtual exchange program that answers these questions and much more. Students will travel virtually to places like the San Diego Supercomputing Center to see firsthand how data scientists and research software engineers are harnessing today’s incredible computing power to process, interpret and draw conclusions from vast collections of data in a way that was previously unthinkable!

preamble="Dr. Jeffrey Carver, Dr. Nasir Eisty, and Md Ariful Malik from the University of Alabama are conducting a study to explore the code review process used by Research Software Engineers (RSEs).
262+
263+
As an RSE, we invite you to participate in an interview to share your experiences with the code review process. The interview will take approximately 15–20 minutes and can be conducted via Zoom or in person, depending on your preference.
264+
265+
Your participation is completely voluntary and confidential. Information will be kept anonymous, and with your approval, we will record the audio of the interview. Any personal information will be deleted after the interview. You may choose to withdraw at any time before or during the interview. To be eligible, you must be 18 years or older. This study has been approved by the University of Alabama Institutional Review Board."

📣 **Calling all Spack users** 📣
274+
275+
We are running a Spack User Survey for 2025! We’d love to get your feedback so that we can present the results next month at the *first ever in-person Spack User Meeting, May 7-8!*
276+
277+
The past three surveys were extremely useful for guiding priorities for Spack feature development, and we’ve really appreciated the detailed feedback from all of you. By filing out the survey, you can help us recognize trends in the project over time. With the 1.0 release approaching in June, now’s your chance to tell us what to do next. Please take the time to let us know how you feel! This should take ~10-15 minutes, though some questions are free-form and we do love details.
278+
Thanks in advance for your time!
