For Modern Astronomers, It's Learn to Code or Get Left Behind

Astronomer Meredith Rawls was in an astronomy master's program at San Diego State University in 2008 when her professor threw a curveball. "We're going to need to do some coding," he said to her class. "Do you know how to do that?" Not really, the students said.
