Guest post by Alex Simperler, NSCCS, Imperial College London. Intrigued by talking to Toni Collis of “Women in High Performance Computing” who are working towards equal representation in HPC, I started to question how “equal” we are in Scientific Application Software usage. The NSCCS – short for EPSRC National Service for Computational Chemistry Software –…
