So I recently learned about the ability to convert IPython notebooks into slides using nbconvert. Not sure how I overlooked that capability of nbconvert. There are some (somewhat out of date) references on Damián Avila's blog.

I'm pretty excited about the idea of using IPython notebooks as a more effective …

After a colloquium at Renaissance Technologies and sitting on Daniel Foreman-Mackey's thesis defense I gave a fun talk for the inagural NYC Open Science Meetup sponsored by authorea.

I'm pretty excited about the Recast reintepretation framework. The basic idea is that we want to capture the data processing pipeline associated with a search for new physics and then provide an API to it (original paper ). This will allow scientists outside the big LHC collaborations to request that a …

I'm just finishing an intense and exciting week focusing a lot on the role of software and data in science. The big event was a workshop on Indexing Astronomical Software jointly organized by AAS and GitHub and supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. It was a small workshop with …

My first storify. Some physics based on the information of the Philae's big bounce in this article

Some news... I've joined the Crayfis collaboration.

A few months ago my friend Daniel Whiteson told me about his crazy idea to use the cameras in smart phones to detect ultra high energy cosmic rays. Sure, the CMOS sensor in your cell phone is basically the same as the technology …
