  There has been growing interest within the computational science and
engineering (CSE) community in engaging with software engineering research --
the systematic study of software systems and their development, operation, and
maintenance -- to solve challenges in scientific software development.
Historically, there has been little interaction between scientific computing
and the field, which has held back progress. With the ranks of scientific
software teams expanding to include software engineering researchers and
practitioners, we can work to build bridges to software science and reap the
rewards of evidence-based practice in software development.
