SciPy 2024 will be in Tacoma, WA this year! 🎉 (I've been told this is no longer privileged information, and can be shared publicly.)

We'll be in the Greater Tacoma Convention Center July 8th-14th. To celebrate the announcement, I made 2 things:

1. A chirp.social group: @SciPy2024 This is a mastodon bot that will boost any post that mentions it. Follow it for updates
2. I threw together a small promotional image. I was feeling Art Deco today 😃

@kellogh This is brilliant -- #fossil, a Mastodon client that groups posts by topic, rather than chronologically.

Take a look at the screenshot in this blog post.

This whole conference debacle is so disappointing. Speakers, when invited to a conf will say “who alls gonna be there?” I’ve my rules for participation posted on my site - including an inclusive lineup - for years. I was duped by the fake speakers also.

I remind all conf organizers that there are THOUSANDS of speakers of all walks of life, genders, ages, backgrounds. I offer 920 for you to invite to your confs http://hanselminutes.com/episodes inclusion means doing the work. So, do the work, friends.

Check out all the speakers for the first ever Global PyLadies Conference 🤩 @pyladiescon

Dit is bijzonder nieuws, bijna onvoorspelbaar dat we dit kunnen. Niet zo heel lang geleden kenden we niet eens exoplaneten.

As far as we know, black holes can only be formed by the death of massive stars, but a persistent theory says that black holes of all masses could have formed directly in the early Universe. These primordial black holes would help explain several mysteries in astronomy: outlier mergers of black holes, dark matter, and young supermassive black holes. How are they different from stellar mass black holes, and what upcoming instruments could detect them?

No one slept good last night. She wants to be near one of us because she knows we’re sad. She’s been our best dog friend for a long time.

Today, February 1st, the Dutch look back on the great flood of 1953, which took the lives of more than 1,800 people. Olivier Hoes (#TUDelft water management researcher) made this impressive time-lapse, showing the way the water spread during the first two days of the #Watersnoodramp.

To whet your appetite, the first two talks of #QIP2023 can be found on our YouTube channel:

This molecular #cloud is completely #dark. You can observe it in visible with one of the largest #telescope on #Earth, as in this #APOD #picture, it is still opaque.
The only way to observe through this cloud is to observe at longer wavelength, in the near infrared where the cloud become transparent.

A new perspective on the emergence of statistical behavior in chaotic quantum many-body systems is presented, establishing projected ensembles as a relevant tool for the characterization of information-theoretic properties.
