Topics for newsletter February 2022 about newsletters

[crd477]

@danielskatz posted this one in Slack and I think it's also fit for inclusion in "Interesting Reads":
https://newscience.org/how-software-in-the-life-sciences-actually-works-and-doesnt-work/

From Chad Dougherty:
I propose adding this article to the "Interesting Reads" section of the next newsletter:
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00217-0

From V:
I'm anticipating writing up the history post for the site at the end of the week, so I suspect it would be good to include in the February newsletter! We will also have a new RSE Stories released tomorow.

Consider for inclusion in "Interesting Reads":
https://zerowithdot.com/improve-data-science-code/
although I expect that it's got less general appeal than the other articles mentioned already.

@sandragesing one more, I almost forgot!
Could you add the SciPy BOF form please one more time?

We plan to submit a proposal for a Birds of a Feather session at SciPy 2022 about US-RSE. It will be a moderated panel discussion. If you are interested in representing US-RSE on the panel, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/Mx4qW1zH518Ev2Cm6. Note that the SciPy organizing committee has added options to participate virtually, so please consider joining and adding your voice to the BoF even if you are not attending the conference in person!
