Hello,


I'm writing on behalf of the SciPy 2020 Organizing Committee, and I was
wondering if it would be possible to post the announcement below to the
biopython mailing list.


If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.


Thanks in advance,


Melissa Mendonça

Diversity Committee Co-Chair


============


SciPy 2020, the 19th annual Scientific Computing with Python conference,
will be held July 6-12, 2020 in Austin, Texas. The annual SciPy Conference
brings together over 900 participants from industry, academia, and
government to showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and
developers, and collaborate on code development. The call for SciPy 2020

Tutorials (July 6-7, 2020)

Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on
manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or
advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific
applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50%
of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter
needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your
tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and
knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected
level of knowledge of your students (i.e., beginner, intermediate,
advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend.

For examples of content and format, you can refer to tutorials from past
SciPy tutorial sessions (SciPy 2018
