[$] The unexpected effectiveness of Python in science

In a keynote on the first day of PyCon 2017,Jake VanderPlas looked at the relationship between Python and science. Overthe last ten years or so, there has been a large rise in the amount ofPython code being used-and released-by scientists. There are reasons forthat, which VanderPlas described, but, perhaps more importantly, thegrowing practiceof releasing all of this code can help solve one of the major problems facing science today:reproducibility.
