🚀Last week, the #ScientificPython Developer Summit brought together 32 package maintainers from across the ecosystem at eScience UW in Seattle!

✨It was a great opportunity to collaborate on improving the tools that power scientific Python research.🧑🏽‍💻

Thanks to everyone that joined! 🧡

So excited to return to #CollabW25!

This year I’ll be sharing the work we’re doing at @ucbids.bsky.social to invest in, sustain, and maintain the #ScientificPython🌳 and @jupyter.org ecosystems - particularly #JupyterHub and @geojupyter.bsky.social 🌎

I bet @turingway.bsky.social will pop up too 😜

Getting to brainstorm how to sustain the #ScientificPython ecosystem with @mentat.za.net is such a JOY!

There are divergences in how different packages manage sparse arrays and I'm so proud that @ucbids.bsky.social is supporting Stéfan, Jarrod and Dan to improve the user and developer experiences!

Ever seen an RMSD spike in a molecular dynamics simulation and wondered:

What actually moved?
Which residues?

Our new @springernature.com paper introduces RMSX + Flipbook for time-resolved MD trajectory analysis 👇

Great fun to go up the hill to @berkeleylab.lbl.gov to hear UC Berkeley #OPSO executive director Jarrod Millman present on our vision for collaboratively supporting - and sustaining - the #ScientificPython project (among many others!)

Proudly a project nurtured in @ucbids.bsky.social 🌳

Two weeks ago I released curved-text, a small library for drawing labels that follow arbitrary curves in Matplotlib. The response was overwhelming.

That attention led to a lot of careful refinement.
