Here’s what some of our contributors say:

“I had a great experience working on an EDS notebook. There was a learning curve but it helped me gain exposure to different technologies along with other people’s work in Environmental Science. I hope to make far reaching impact through this work”

Timothy Lam, Author

“Contributing to the EDS book has been an extremely valuable and enjoyable experience for me, giving me an insight into how open-source software development and code/book authorship can work within a more traditional scientific peer-review framework. Gaining this hands-on experience whilst learning about interesting environmental science applications has been one of the highlights of my PhD studies.”

Nick Homer, Reviewer
