+
+Welcome to this month’s edition of the US-RSE Newsletter! A few weeks ago, I found myself wondering: Who visits the US-RSE website? What are they looking for? How are they finding us? To satisfy that curiosity, I took a dive into our Google Analytics data, and uncovered some interesting patterns. In this issue, we’ll explore a few highlights from our website traffic that offer a glimpse into how our community is connecting with US-RSE online, and consider what these insights might mean for the future of our digital presence.

+
+Are you making plans to join us in 🦅 **Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 🦅 October 6-8, 2025**? The theme for the third annual conference from the United States Research Software Engineer Association ([US-RSE](https://us-rse.org/)) is **“Code, Practices, and People.”** 
+
+Thank you to all who have submitted work for this conference! Reviews are still underway and notifications should be sent by July 14. Registration opened in late June. Check out our [registration](https://us-rse.org/usrse25/attend/registration/) page for information on rates and for the link to register through Eventbrite.
+
+**While the submission deadline for most formats has passed, we continue to invite poster submissions for [USRSE'25](https://us-rse.org/usrse25/participate/)**.  Poster submissions will be accepted through July 20. 
+
+Whether you’re a research software engineer, data scientist, digital humanist, scientific programmer, software developer, or research software user, US-RSE is where people at the intersection of code and research come together. The USRSE'25 conference is your chance to connect with peers, mentors, and experts in the fast-growing world of research software. Don’t just take our word for it—100% of last year's post-conference survey respondents said they would return and recommend the conference to others.

+# 🔍 **2. A Peek at the US-RSE Website — What Brings You Here?**
+
+<!-- Add monthly theme / highlight -->
+
+Web analytics is a fascinating and exciting application
+of data science involving the measurement, collection,
+analysis, and reporting of web data to understand and
+optimize website usage. Using a few simple techniques and powerful tools like Google Analytics 4, organizations like ours can learn incredible insights about who visits our website, what they do with it, and why. So, what does the US-RSE.org website data over the last 12 months tell us about ourselves?
+
+### Top Pages
+
+When not accounting for the home page, we can see that **the jobs page**
+is the most utilized resource on the website. This is closely followed by conference
+page resources:
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/top_pages_table.png" alt="Top Pages" style="width: 750px; height: auto;">
+</p>
+
+I believe this reflects the current job market in the tech and academic world. At US-RSE,
+we are committed to connecting talented individuals with exciting opportunities, so we try
+to automate and streamline the process as much as we can with a Job Board bot
+on Slack for job seekers, and and an easy-to-use [job posting form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYK64R1c0rj-ERldGLxuqedLIbsYPZXj9uBplDRYNmnND10Q/viewform) for job posters. 
+It's encouraging to see that our job board is a valuable resource for our community. 
+
+<!-- Decidedly uninteresting or cannot nail down the data in time
+### Traffic Sources
+### Top Referrers
+-->
+
+
+### Geography
+
+The US makes up the vast majority of our traffic, of course. But get this — we have page 
+views pinging from 153 different countries and territories, including Northern Mariana 
+Islands, Slovakia, Tajikstan, and Zimbabwe. However, _we have to consider the possibility of 
+bots, crawlers, and VPNs_ inflating these numbers, so we should take this with a grain of salt.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/world_map.png" alt="Geography" style="width: 750px; height: auto;">
+</p>
+
+### Devices & Browsers
+
+As you'd expect, most visitors come from desktop devices, with the most popular browsers being Chrome and Safari.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/device_types.png" alt="Devices" style="width: 750px; height: auto;">
+</p>
+
+What surprises me is the poor representation of 
+privacy-focused tools like Firefox, Opera, and Brave. **Perhaps online privacy
+consciousness would be an interesting topic for a future community call?**
+
+### Bounce Rate & Engagement
+
+We found that overall the **average engagement time per active user per month is 1m 06s**. Per 
+session of using our site, the **average engagement time is only 38 seconds**. This is quite
+low, and may suggest that visitors are mostly landing at the site in order to redirect elsewhere (such as during a job search). So, it begs the question: how can we improve the experience on the website to encourage users to visit and stay longer, and ultimately  explore more? What do _you_ expect to interact with when you visit the US-RSE website? How can we make visiting the site more valuable for you? Let us know by pinging the Slack #website channel...
+
+### Trends
+
+That being said, this writer is proud to report that our website has had an overall increase
+in traffic since we reinvigorated the newsletter in March.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/visit_trend.png" alt="Trends" style="width: 750px; height: auto;">
+</p>
+
+### New vs. Returning Visitors
+
+The comparison between new and returning visitors is a great way to measure the growth of our community. We can see that the number of returning users spikes quickly after the conference,
+and dwindles slowly as people move on to other things. New user attraction should be a priority, however, so _we should think about ways to keep that post conference momentum going_.
+
+<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center; gap: 20px; flex-wrap: wrap;">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/new_users.png" alt="New Visitors" style="width: 45%; height: auto;">
+  <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/newsletter-202506/returning_users.png" alt="Returning Visitors" style="width: 45%; height: auto;">
+</div>
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Web analytics can offer a valuable snapshot of how a community and visiting audiences engage with a digital organization. For us, the data highlights the importance of our job board, and the (potentially) global reach of our resources, but also points out opportunities to improve engagement and retention. And this is just a basic breakdown of stock charts provided by the Google Analytics4 service... what more could we uncover as we dig into deeper data points?
+
+As US-RSE continues to grow, your feedback will be essential in shaping the tools, resources, and interfaces we implement for the community. So, we ask you — _what would make the US-RSE website more useful?_ Share your thoughts in the #website Slack channel by joining the org and signing up to the slack group Slack [here](https://us-rse.org/get-involved/). Together, we can make us-rse.org an even more vibrant hub for research software engineers!

+
+<!-- Fill in with current Steering Committee news -->
+
+Over the past month, the Steering Committee approved the 2025 US-RSE Community Awards program proposed by the Community Awards Working Group. We continued discussions on the US-RSE response to the changing federal funding landscape, and reaffirmed that providing an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all remains a core part of our mission. We received an update on fundraising efforts from the Executive Director and reviewed our budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Finally, we further defined tasks and priorities for a new Community Manager, identified chairs for the USRSE'26 conference, and addressed some administrative issues regarding our processes for posting to social media and sending email announcements.

+### **Community Calls**
+
+<!--Community call news goes here-->
+
+During our last community call, we got some great suggestions for future topics, including lots of interest in learning about the US-RSE community, careers, and funding. **Our July community call on Thursday, July 10, 12pm ET/11am CT/10am MT/9am PT will cover all of these topics (and maybe more!).** 
+
+If you'd like to give a brief 3-5 minute talk on your story, we'd be happy to hear from you. This could be talking about what your current role is and what you're working on, how you're funded, or the path you took to get where you are today. Even if you're not an RSE, you're here, so you're part of our community, and we'd love to hear what you do and how your work relates to RSE.
+
+Please reach out to Julia Damerow or Abbey Roelofs via Slack if you're interested in presenting, and visit the [Community Calls Website](https://us-rse.org/events/category/#community-call) for more information and to access the registration link.

+***June Community Call***   
+
+In our last community call, we discussed the use of AI tools in research software engineering. From the Mentimeter poll, we learned that the majority of you are using AI tools once or twice a day for — obviously — coding support, and that you believe that if AI became sentient, the first thing it would do is... worship cats...? Y'know, sounds about right 🐈

+    title="Call for abstracts: Research Software Engineers in HPC (RSE-HPC-2025)" 
+    preamble="
+To be held as part of SC25, St. Louis, MO, USA and online, Sunday, November 16, 2025, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm CST (UTC-6)
+
+**=== Overview ===**
+
+Research software engineers (RSEs) are critical to the impact of HPC, data science, and the larger scientific community. They have existed for decades, though often not under that name. The past several years, however, have seen the development of the RSE concept, common job titles, and career paths; the creation of professional networks to connect RSEs; and the emergence of RSE groups at universities, national laboratories, and industry.
+This workshop will bring together RSEs and allies involved in HPC, from all over the world, to grow the RSE community by establishing and strengthening professional networks of current RSEs and RSE leaders. We'll hear about successes and challenges that RSEs and RSE groups have experienced, and discuss ways to increase awareness of RSE opportunities and improve support for RSEs.
+
+The workshop will be highly interactive, featuring breakout discussions and panels, as well as invited addresses and submitted talks.
+
+**=== Submissions ===**
+
+We encourage prospective participants to submit abstracts of proposed lightning talks (limit of 1 page, no format prescribed) on topics related to RSE issues. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
+
+- Career paths: how should RSEs be hired, promoted and evaluated?Building RSE organizations: how to find RSEs in your country/region and how to motivate them to join the network and engage?
+- Supporting RSE organizations: what can be done to help RSEs (and those supporting RSEs) at international, national, regional, and local levels?
+- Making the business case for RSEs and RSE groups: evidence, case studies, tactics
+- How do we want funders to support RSE roles and activities?
+- Building in RSE requirements as part of wider research infrastructure
+- Providing mentoring and training for RSEs
+- How will RSEs contribute to new technologies such as AI/ML, quantum computing, neuromorphic computing?
+
+The authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present lightning talks or participate in panel discussions at the workshop. Note that SC25 is planning an in-person event and presenting in-person is encouraged. A supporting digital experience will accommodate those who cannot attend in-person due to travel restrictions or health concerns.
+
+We particularly encourage submissions from first-time conference presenters, and from members of groups that have historically been underrepresented in the HPC community. **The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 8, 2025, at 11:59 PM AoE (UTC-12).**

+    when="July 09 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT" 
+    where="Online, 🌐"
+    preamble="
+The advent of large language models (LLMs) has generated a great deal of interest in their use for coding tasks. However, a well-known limitation of LLMs is that there are no guarantee of either truthfulness or correctness for the generated results. Therefore, we are not yet in a position where human intervention can be eliminated from these coding tasks, particularly in scientific computing where training data has been sparse and software is exploratory. We have been exploring the use for generative AI for a diverse set of tasks in scientific software development, including translation from Fortran to C++, writing code for a new algorithm, and refactoring existing code. A robust verification methodology has emerged as the most important component of accomplishing any coding task reliably with LLM assistance. In this webinar we will share our insights from our explorations.

+> Editor's Note: This study investigates the neural and behavioral effects of using large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT for essay writing, and stirred up quite some discussion on slack. Using EEG and NLP analysis, the authors found that reliance on LLMs is associated with reduced brain connectivity, diminished memory recall, and lower self-reported ownership of written work, which suggests that long-term use may incur cognitive costs and hinder learning. Even as I write this newsletter, I find myself using an LLM to help me write `liquid` code snippets, quickly format HTML, and edit wording. This article is extremely timely and well worth a read as we continue to understand the potential effects of LLMs on our wellbeing.

+
+<!-- Fill in with current Steering Committee news -->
+
+In July, the Steering Committee focused on several operational and strategic efforts. We spent significant time discussing the logistics of facilitating funding for the conference, specifically travel for students and early career participants. In collaboration with Sandra, we outlined key priorities for our new Interim Project Manager. This is a temporary role, expected to last approximately six months, and will differ in scope and focus from the previous Community Manager position. We also have been preparing and participating in the development of two important surveys: (1) an internal US-RSE community survey and, (2) the next iteration of the International RSE survey. Both surveys will help us better understand and serve both our members and the broader RSE community. Lastly, we have been working through some ongoing challenges related to external funding and the processes and procedures of fiscal sponsorship.

+### INTERSECT 2025 Bootcamp (via @cosden Ian Cosden!)
+
+The 3rd year of **INTERSECT: Research Software Engineering Training** brought together another awesome cohort of graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers for a week-long deep dive into intermediate and advanced research software engineering (RSE) practices.
+
+The 4.5 day bootcamp of intensive, hands-on training is designed to engage participants with topics critical to building sustainable, reproducible, and collaborative research software. The curriculum emphasizes:
+
+- **Software design principles** like modularity and functional independence  
+- **Testing infrastructure**, like unit testing and continuous integration with tools like TravisCI and Jenkins  
+- **Collaboration techniques** using GitHub workflows (pull requests, code review, issue tracking)  
+- **Software packaging & distribution** for real-world deployment and community reuse  
+- **Documentation strategies** using tools like Sphinx and Doxygen  
+
+By targeting those with an existing foundation in research software development, the bootcamp fosters a unique environment where participants could immediately apply best practices to their own work—and return to their institutions as local leaders in research software sustainability. Congratulations to Ian and the team at Princeton University for another successful bootcamp!

+    preamble="
+To be held as part of SC25, St. Louis, MO, USA and online, Sunday, November 16, 2025, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm CST (UTC-6)
+
+**=== Overview ===**
+
+Research software engineers (RSEs) are critical to the impact of HPC, data science, and the larger scientific community. They have existed for decades, though often not under that name. The past several years, however, have seen the development of the RSE concept, common job titles, and career paths; the creation of professional networks to connect RSEs; and the emergence of RSE groups at universities, national laboratories, and industry.
+This workshop will bring together RSEs and allies involved in HPC, from all over the world, to grow the RSE community by establishing and strengthening professional networks of current RSEs and RSE leaders. We'll hear about successes and challenges that RSEs and RSE groups have experienced, and discuss ways to increase awareness of RSE opportunities and improve support for RSEs.
+
+The workshop will be highly interactive, featuring breakout discussions and panels, as well as invited addresses and submitted talks.
+
+**=== Submissions ===**
+
+We encourage prospective participants to submit abstracts of proposed lightning talks (limit of 1 page, no format prescribed) on topics related to RSE issues. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
+
+- Career paths: how should RSEs be hired, promoted and evaluated?Building RSE organizations: how to find RSEs in your country/region and how to motivate them to join the network and engage?
+- Supporting RSE organizations: what can be done to help RSEs (and those supporting RSEs) at international, national, regional, and local levels?
+- Making the business case for RSEs and RSE groups: evidence, case studies, tactics
+- How do we want funders to support RSE roles and activities?
+- Building in RSE requirements as part of wider research infrastructure
+- Providing mentoring and training for RSEs
+- How will RSEs contribute to new technologies such as AI/ML, quantum computing, neuromorphic computing?
+
+The authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present lightning talks or participate in panel discussions at the workshop. Note that SC25 is planning an in-person event and presenting in-person is encouraged. A supporting digital experience will accommodate those who cannot attend in-person due to travel restrictions or health concerns.
+
+We particularly encourage submissions from first-time conference presenters, and from members of groups that have historically been underrepresented in the HPC community. **The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 8, 2025, at 11:59 PM AoE (UTC-12).**
