Hi Everyone, I am asking if there are any individuals in basic sciences labs where programming is NOT expected who have taken a Software Carpentry workshop and use the skills introduced, and are willing to detail how Software Carpentry has impacted their workflow.
I recently took some time in our Journal Club to give a presentation on why our university should host a Software Carpentry workshop, and one individual really pressed me on examples to convince someone like the chair of the Biology or Molecular Biology department to put money out for this. I think the example in the introductory shell scripting lesson ( http://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/00-intro.html) is illustrative of a common problem, but the testimonials on the website ( https://software-carpentry.org/pages/testimonials.html) seem to be mostly from people in groups where some programming was at least expected.

(I found it!) but "That's funny ..." - Isaac Asimov
