An interactive poster? Why didn’t I think of that?? Amazing #jupyternotebook use-case that I’ll be pitching alongside data dashboards and web apps 👏👏
If you have any interest in pushing the boundaries for how science can be communicated, check out Jacob Barhak's fully interactive posters based on @HoloViz_org tools: jacob-barhak.github.io/COVID… jacob-barhak.github.io/Unit_… Way more powerful than trying to read a static PDF paper!

Help! I’m looking for an article that describes best practices for conda environment files 🔎 Specifically, I want something that explains how to find the balance between listing the exact package versions and listing no version at all. Do any of my #RSE s have a link to share?
