The UW RSE Nexus is a curated, community-driven platform designed to capture and share the collective knowledge and 
experiences of the [UW RSE community](https://hub.datascience.wisc.edu/communities/research-software-engineering-community/) 
at the University of Wisconsin Madison.

### What is a Research Software Engineer?
A Research Software Engineer is someone who works to improve research through the creation or maintenance of software.
Although job titles vary wildly, if you write scripts, make software or keep them running in a lab, research area or 
study, you can proudly call yourself a Research Software Engineer.
