Thank you Aman for your contributions to The Carpentries community. 💙

A screenshot of the "Gratitude of the Month" section of The Carpentries 24 July 2025 newsletter. The text reads: "This month we express our gratitude to Aman Goel, Research Software Engineer (RSE) at the University of Manchester, for leading the organisation of a Training Community Day to follow RSECon25 in September! We expect this conference satellite event to bring together many members of the Carpentries community in the UK and beyond. Aman worked tirelessly to get everything scheduled, handled almost all the logistics, and obtained multiple sponsorships for the event. Thank you, Aman, for your contributions to The Carpentries community!" Training Community Day is hyperlinked to: https://lu.ma/mm03rimf. The text is accompanied by the Carpentries Gratitudes heart, which is a heart-shaped symbol with The Carpentries logo at its centre. There is also a headshot image of Aman Goel, which is captioned as "found online and may be subject to copyright." In the caption, Aman Goel is hyperlinked to: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amangoel185/.

The Carpentries Gratitude of the Month is to Aman Goel, Research Software Engineer @uomresearchit.bsky.social and Fellow at @softwaresaved.bsky.social. Aman is leading the organisation of a Training Community Day to follow the Research Software Engineering Conference #RSECon25 in September!

The presentation will be recorded and subsequently made available on the ZB MED (@zbmed.bsky.social) YouTube channel. The subsequent Q&A session will be off the record and will not be recorded.
