"Hi everyone, I'm Sarah! I'm a Research Data Scientist at the Alan Turing Institute and I'm also an operator of mybinder.org. It's really cool seeing how many people here are interested in BinderHub!" And it is cool. Really cool! But also a bit scary as a room full of Research Software Engineers (each of them much further on in their careers than I am) suddenly turn to me, eager for the knowledge I was surely about to impart to them. But let's rewind a bit. It's May 2019 and I'm attending the Research Software Reactor sprint jointly hosted by Microsoft and Imperial College London. This is a 3-day hackathon where researchers from different areas (though all with a computing background) come together to collaboratively build cloud-based resources on Microsoft's Azure platform. As for me, I'm only 6 months into my role at the Turing, having graduated from my PhD in Astrophysics at the start of the year. Also, my role as a "Binder Operator" is barely 2 months old... which is why I'm starting to feel nervous about the amount of interest in the room! This also happens to be the second hackathon I've attended ever, so the adrenaline is high.
