2024-07-24 webinar: The Journey to STRUDEL: User Experience in Scientific Ecosystems

Full title: The Journey to STRUDEL: How We Came to Embrace User Experience in Scientific Ecosystems
Presenter: Lavanya Ramakrishnan (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab)
Presented on: 2024-07-24
Scientific discoveries increasingly depend on leveraging computation and data synergistically at scale. Scientific workflows and software have become a cornerstone to enable seamless, interactive, searchable, collaborative, and reproducible science. However, delivering usable and maintainable software is often still challenging. This talk will detail our journey in using user experience research over the last decade to develop software products and inform our research approaches. User experience research has enabled us to focus on understanding user behaviors, needs, and motivations to build next-generation scientific software ecosystems. Finally, the talk will describe how our experiences have led us to STRUDEL, an open-source science project building resources to enable teams to plan, design, and build user-centered software for their scientific communities.
