PyCon Taiwan 2019 keynote
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pycon TW, Taipei, Taiwan. September 2019

"Programming Language Tourism: Leave Python and see the world!"

Abstract: Programming languages are places. The idea of abandoning the
convenience and familiarity of your primary coding language might seem
anything from tedious and inconvenient to scary and stressful. But, switching
to an alternative other than your primary development language -- especially
when such a challenge is not a requirement -- can be both fun and productive.
You will likely grow your abilities as a developer and gain new perspective
that is currently beyond your reach.

Let's push out of our comfort zone together to leave Python and voyage to a
different language! We will go into details about why and how we can do that,
along with some possible destinations. Upon our return, we will see -- and
appreciate -- Python in a different light. Plus, we can use the justifications
for our departure to entice and welcome folks from other language communities
to visit us in the land of the snake.

Making people do animal vocalizations: so here's the bit where `I first get
the idea to make people moo
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=UUFkid-1EIBbauJLbMFDp2Cg&v=eACAUOJqC5w#t=8573>`_
(because they were typing and giving me a thumbs up would have made them stop
typing). And shortly after this point is where `I actually make them moo <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=UUFkid-1EIBbauJLbMFDp2Cg&v=eACAUOJqC5w#t=8736>`_
the first time. And make them meow after that.

A Portrait of One Scientist as a Graduate Student
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SciPy, Austin, TX. June  2013

In this talk, I will focus on the how of reproducible research. I will focus on specific tools and techniques I have found invaluable in doing research in a reproducible manner. In particular, I will cover the following general topics (with specific examples in parentheses): version control and code provenance (git), code verification (test driven development, nosetests), data integrity (sha1, md5, git-annex), seed saving ( random seed retention ) distribution of datasets (mirroring, git-annex, metalinks), light-weight analysis capture ( ttyrec, ipython notebook)

Matplotlib, beyond the basics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Astronomy 250, Python Computing for Data Science, UC Berkeley, January 2012.

Emerging victorious from the onslaught of the beginning of the semester in
January 2012, including a nasty cold with a fever of 104 F, I delivered a
guest lecture on matplotlib where I start off by saying how " `I'm a little
doped up`_", and about 25 minutes into it end up blurting out
" `I'm totally high right now!`_"  - which is awesome since it was recorded
and captured for posterity.
