OMSF Office Hours

We host monthly office hours on how we work!

Previous topics include cloud infrastructure, coding agents, and packaging.

Each session features short presentations from subject-matter experts, followed by open discussion and Q&A with a focus on practical, actionable insights for teams.

Whether you’re an early-career professional, graduate student, postdoc, or simply curious about how software and science intersect, our office hours are a chance to learn from experts, explore tools and approaches that accelerate research and share your own challenges and ideas with a welcoming community.
