๐ Less than one month until #SciPy2026! ๐๏ธ ti.to/scipy/scipy2026
When people ask what SciPy is, it's tempting to say it's a conference about Python for scientific computing. But SciPy has always been much more than that.
The Sprints are one of our favorite parts of the conference!
This is where many of us made our very first contribution to the Scientific Python ecosystem, thanks to the welcoming and friendly maintainers who make it easy to get involved.๐ซถ
Here's to all the new contributors ๐
๐ Volunteer appreciation post ๐
A huge shoutout to all of our amazing #SciPy2026 volunteers! ๐
Your time, energy, and enthusiasm are what make this conference possible. We couldn't do it without you! ๐ซถ
๐ฃ One of the best parts of #SciPy2026 is seeing the Scientific Python ecosystem evolve in real time.
Today's Tools Plenary featured updates from the teams behind Zarr, Xarray, Tiled, Pangeo, scikit-image, Matplotlib, and napari, showcasing new features & future directions ๐ซถ
๐ซถ A huge thank you to Amber Case for an inspiring keynote this morning at #SciPy2026! ๐
She challenged us to rethink how we build technology, reminding us that the best systems don't demand more of our attention; they help us focus on what matters. โจ๏ธ
โก Lightning Talks are back at #SciPy2026!
Five minutes. Any topic. No excuses.
They're one of our favorite SciPy traditions. You might end up presenting with tiny hands ๐ค, lobster claws ๐ฆ, or even petting a loon ๐ฆ while giving your talk.
Get ready for the unexpected ๐
๐ ๏ธ The Tools Plenary gave us a tour of what's new across the Scientific Python ecosystem!
๐ Thanks to the maintainers of NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, Astropy, Scientific Python, MNE-Python, NetworkX, and Marimo for sharing their latest updates. ๐
#SciPy2026
๐ฅ #SciPy2026 is on!
๐ We kicked things off with opening remarks from our fantastic conference chairs, Madicken and Gil ๐ซถ, followed by an inspiring keynote from Thomas Caswell on how the stories we share, and the communities that shape them, are at the heart of open source. ๐
๐ Day 2 of #SciPy2026 is complete!
Another day of tutorials covered array programming, RAG systems, network analysis, GPU acceleration, Xarray, Shiny, interactive visualization, JAX, remote sensing, & more ๐
We're so excited to see you all tomorrow for our main conference ๐ซถ
Congratulations to our SciPy 2026 Diamond Sponsor, @Nominal_io, on the launch of Instro, their new open source library for Python. If you're joining us at SciPy this week, stop by Nominal's Lunch & Learn to see Instro in action, meet the team, and learn more about what they're building. #SciPy2026#OpenSource#Python
1/ We built Instro because writing the same instrument driver for the fourth time nearly broke many of us too. What if you could run the same test logic with two completely different hardware setups?
๐ That's a wrap on Day 1 of #SciPy2026!
Today's tutorials covered Python fundamentals, LLM agents, GPU computing, causal inference, interactive notebooks, scientific web apps, and image analysis. ๐
Looking forward to another full day of tutorials tomorrow!
๐ #SciPy2026 starts today!
We're kicking off the week with tutorials ๐ฉโ๐ป
Looking forward to a great week of learning, collaboration, and conversations with the Scientific Python community. ๐
See you at the University of Minnesota Health Sciences Education Center โจ๏ธ
