Hi Marco,

I have no idea how numerous we are, but yes, there are. As for myself,
I am in computational biophysics.

Don't worry, that will change.

That is a workflow which is being advocated increasingly. You could
point your doubting colleagues to this MOOC, for example:
https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/course-v1:inria+41016+self-paced/about
(disclaimer: I am one of its authors). Guix is not covered there, but it
will in a more advanced sequel currently under preparation.

It is growing. I can't say about your field or your neigbourhood, but
check out communities such as The Carpentries
(https://carpentries.org/), which is organizing tutorials all around the
globe to teach the tools that you like.
Cheers,
Konrad
