  "Building Tools for Research" with Galen Reich | Podcast Episode on RSS.com
  
  This week we spoke to Galen Reich, Tech Community Lead at Bellingcat. In the talk Galen provided invaluable advice for those who want to build a tool for research, highlighting what aspects you need to consider in the planning stages, raising awareness of what obstacles could arise once the tool is established and explaining how anyone can build an everlasting tool with or without coding knowhow. The talk was hosted by Charlotte Maher on Thursday August 28th 2025.
