Testimonials

Çağatay Gürsoy & Samuel Sander

Doctoral Researchers at Central Institute of Mental Health (ZI), Mannheim, Germany
“Dr. Wittkuhn’s Git workshop served as an excellent kick-off for our Early Career Researcher training program at ZI Mannheim. As an expert in developing academic courses, he provided valuable feedback that helped shape our internal workshops webpage and structure. We would love to invite him back as a lecturer.”

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gluth & Barbara Oberbauer

Cognitive Modelling & Decision Neuroscience Lab at University of Hamburg, Germany
“We warmly recommend the Version Control Workshop with Lennart! Our lab has been wanting to implement Git/GitHub for months now but Lennart’s workshop was what really got us started. Because of the interactive teaching style of the course and the Version Control Book as invaluable resource we are now well equipped to collaborate more efficiently on our code and make it easily accessible and reusable for others. Plus: It was so much fun to learn!”

Dr. Sam Hall-McMaster

Research Scientist at Harvard University, Boston, USA
“As research projects become more and more complex, dedicated tools for organising data become essential. Lennart showed me the tools for reproducible research with big datasets. At first these were mystifying. Now I use them daily. This wouldn’t be the case without Lennart’s patience and mastery as a teacher, and his example of using these tools for high impact research.”

Dr. Maike Kleemeyer

Research Data Management Coordinator at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, Germany
“Thanks to his own scientific background, Lennart can authentically convey Git skills to other researchers. The coordination with him was very pleasant and he readily adapted the content to our time constraints. The workshop itself followed a clear structure that emphasized relevant concepts. The interactive nature allowed for individual pacing and enabled participants to digest and apply the content.”

Dr. Michael Gaebler

Principal Investigator at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
“Highly recommended! I couldn’t participate myself but (1) am convinced it fills a gap (git for psychologists / neuroscientists, fostering team science & reproducibility), (2) only heard good things from group members that participated, & (3) also appreciate the online materials.”
