I am a PhD student at the Wagner Lab at LMU Munich. The main reason I have started coding is my general unwillingness to repeat boring tasks and my aversion against software that returns values even if the inputs make no sense (especially p-values). Listening to sciency podcasts (especially "everything Hertz" by James Heathers and Dan Quintana) and reading books by Andy Fields (especially "An Adventure in Statistics - The Reality Enigma") made me think about open data and open science and that's why I started using python and r. And that's where the problems started ;-)
