Dear SIGCISers,

"Software is Ubiquitous, yet Overlooked" is the title of a paper in 
Nature Computational Science that was released just today. You can check 
it out at this link :
<https://www.nature.com/articles/s43588-024-00651-2>
It is available to read in html or to download as a pdf.

It is a call for HPS/STS scholars (and also computational scientists 
themselves) to apprehend software beyond code. As a Historian of Science 
myself, I am taking advantage of this self-promotional post to pay 
tribute to the SIGSIS community. You will maybe recognize some of its 
prominent members in the references, in the quotations, and also in the 
authors list. This is quite simply because I do believe that the SIGCIS 
community is (and should be more of ) a source of inspiration for 
historians of science dealing with some sort of computing.

In other words : Thank you all !
