I encourage trainees to learn a programming language that they
will help their careers beyond their short time in my lab. Many or
most of them will not continue in structural biology or even science.
For the moment, I am pushing python even though I am minimally
literate in it myself. They should learn a "modern" programming
language that is widely used beyond my subdiscipline. Python will
probably help them get a job more than Fortran.
