### Topic
### "Scaling reproducibility" influencing change workshop

- Discussion-focused look at the detail of [the framework](https://zenodo.org/records/10664660)
- Assess your org's maturity levels against different criteria:
- 'Locus of leadership', 'Communities of Practise', 'Tools', 'Education and training', 'Incentives', 'Modelling and mentoring', 'Review and feedback', 'Expert involvement', 'Policies and procedures'
- Helps pick where to focus effort for most payoff of impact
- Helps map a path about where to improve, without despairing where you are now
- Leaves you reflecting that the benefits of RSE work are more culture than code

### Mutation testing - who tests the testers?

- Met Office use of [mutmut](https://mutmut.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) to stress their python tests
- In essence, change the meaning of one line of code, if the tests still pass, they're weak
- Helps think twice about what your code is doing, not only how you're testing
- Useful for big legacy codebases as well as new work

### "Reproducible distributed research in practice"

- Next-level approach to distributed data-versioning and workflow tools
- Active development by [RESIDE](https://reside-ic.github.io/) group at the MRC Centre at Imperial
- "leans on metaphors from containerisation" - best of git, docker and `{targets}`
- Language-agnostic, with a `[pyorderly](https://github.com/mrc-ide/pyorderly)` equivalent to R's `orderly`

* * *

### Special mentions!

- Early morning classes! Bhangra dancing, meditation
- Quiet Room for neurodiverse people to decompress in
- Lots of potential for more conversational, self-organising activity
