| 55 | + |
| 56 | +This code of conduct is largely mirrored from the one used by [ML4Science](https://www.ml4science.org/code-of-conduct) that in turn modelled it on the [Software Carpentry's code of conduct](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.carpentries.org%2Ftopic_folders%2Fpolicies%2Fcode-of-conduct.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw3u6XY-Uib9k9m6Y7uxovay). |
