More testimonials about how these skills have helped people do more and
better science would be a big help, particularly coming from lab
scientists and people working in the field. Please send 'em to this
list or directly to us.
Thanks in advance,

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.
Thanks in advance,
-Robert

discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..." -
