Toby Hodges is a bioinformatician turned community coordinator, working on the Bio-IT
Project at EMBL. He teaches a lot of courses in computing, organizes a lot of communitybuilding
events, listens to a lot of punk rock, and occasionally still finds time to write code
and ride his bike. Toby would like to thank his wife for her support and patience while he
swore about how annoying JavaScript is to debug.
Greg Wilson has worked for 35 years in both industry and academia, and is the author or
editor of several books on computing and two for children. He co-founded [Software
Carpentry][carpentries], a non-profit organization that teaches basic computing skills to
researchers, and is now part of the education team at RStudio.
