Nature Article on Scientific Programming

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

Nature has just published an article by Zeeya Merali titled "Computational science: ...Error" that looks at what's wrong with scientific computing today. Software Carpentry gets a mention, along with some of the scientists who are trying to raise awareness and standards. And in a companion article, Nick Barnes makes the case for scientists publishing their research software. Here's hoping both will be widely read.
