Last week I was in Austin, TX for SciPy 2015.
On Monday afternoon I sat in on a tutorial on multibody dynamics using SymPy, lead by Jason Moore and Jim Crist. I learned a ton.
Tuesday I ran my tutorial, Computational Statistics I, then sat in on Chris Fonnnesbeck’s Computational Statistics II. Here’s an action shot from the afternoon session:
Wednesday I presented a talk called “Will Millennials Ever Get Married?” which included results from a survival analysis I applied to data from the NSFG. Here’s the view from the back of the room, a few minutes before I went on:
And in the afternoon I presented a talk called “Basic Sound Processing in Python”, based on material from Think DSP. So the first few days were busy!
After that, there were a lot of excellent presentations and I got to talk with lots of interesting people. But it was nice to take it easy. Thursday night we went on a river boat to see the bats. I didn’t get a good photo of the bats, but here’s a twilight shot of downtown Austin:
Overall an excellent conference. Many thanks to the organizers!
