Here are some of the talks that I have given, (with slides/video/audio, when available)
2015¶
How IPython, and you can, too¶
Neustar Research, San Francisco, CA. March, 2015
A command-line driven talk about all of the useful things in IPython before you even get to the notebook interface. Here’s a tweet from an attendee of that talk:

Whetting your appetite (capstone lecture for 3 day bootcamp)¶
Python Boot Camp, Berkeley, CA. August 2013
simple web scraper, sqlite, email, and some Flask: (Aug 28, 2013): Access files at http://www.pythonbootcamp.info/schedule
Making people do animal vocalizations: so here’s the bit where I first get the idea to make people moo (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 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)
2012¶

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.
