Software Horror Stories

The week of Halloween is the week when scary things happen, when horror stories are told. This includes our academic horror stories, which we fear, but do not often talk about. Pity, because these stories can teach us a lot about responsible research practices, and, specifically, good data management.

In October 2022 the RDM Support team of the UB organised a Software Data Horror Week. We had a festive launch of the brand new online Escape Room, this time about software! 

We celebrated the horrors with you: 

🕸️On halloween, October 31st, we organised a festive launch with a competition and prizes, and on November 1st there was a campfire to share horror stories, lessons learned and drinks. 

🧟Check out the horror stories in the slider below, and get in the mood for next year by trying the latest Software Horror Escape Room, Data Horror Escape Room, or the Open Science Escape Room!
