A workshop at UCSC to train grad students and post docs, and also professors, on the best practices for designing and releasing Python codes for research and teaching in Astronomy.
I was accepted into the program, which had about 30 other people, all of them Young Turks in astronomy. It was invigorating, and for me - a bit intimidating, given the the speed and depth assumed already to be in the skill set of the participants. But, it was a great environment, and the organizers both local and from afar, were excellent and competent and patient.
The link above gives the details and schedule, which I abbreviate below for the purpose of accounting. The workshop was at Oakes College on the UCSC campus, which is where I attended, live. There were also participants on Zoom.

Some images I took during the workshop are below, soon to be photoshop'd and posted. The workshop just ended, and in process: soon, the recordings of the Workshop will be released and posted on YouTube. When that happens, I will link them here.
On my hike on the first day, up to Oakes College I found this nice friend - a gopher snake |
Outside Oakes, I kinda like my badge. |
My T-shirt colors and the Code Astro ID badge blend nicely! |
Morning lectures and projects. Loading up my laptop with Anaconda Python enviro, and VS, and conda, and creating all the folders needed... |
