[Biopython-dev] SciPy 2015

[João Rodrigues]

Hi Tiago,

Do you have an example presentation made on IPython Notebooks?

I kind of liked what I saw form reveal.js, but never used it, so don't know
how complicated it will be and how it will perform. I guess for "simple"
slides it works well.

Cheers,

João
