  • [EN] Meet the 2025 SSI Fellows - Sangeeta Bathia, Jyoti Boghal and Deborah Udoh
    Dec 16 2025

    English Edition: In this last English episode of this season, I'd like to introduce you to the three Software Sustainability Institute fellows for this year: Deborah Udoh, Jyoti Boghal and Sangeeta Bathia. All three have ambitious goals for their fellowship ranging from training, building networks to public health.

    I'd like to thank the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK for supporting this episode and indeed the podcast in general.

    Note: there will be a short break after the next German language episode. The new season will start on 3 February 2026.

    Have a great holiday and I wish you all a Happy New Year.
