In this post Nicole reviews the past, present, and future of the Jupyter4Science site and solicits thoughts, ideas, and contributions from the SciPy community.

David Costello, a senior undergraduate student in mathematics at Arizona State University’s Barrett Honors College, received the best student poster award at the inaugural US-RSE'23 conference for his poster presenting a set of tutorials about the web-based notebook development environment called JupyterLab.

In this post we give a 10,000 foot view of the kind of content you can expect to see on Jupyter4Science. Before getting into individual topics, we will review what Jupyter Notebooks are, how they are most commonly used in the context of research, and what value of Jupyter Notebooks in collaborative settings.

INTRODUCTION In the realm of data science and network analysis, Jupyter Notebooks have become an increasingly popular platform for exploring and visualizing complex relationships. When dealing with large datasets, we’ll compare two prominent network visualization libraries for Jupyter Notebooks—ipycytoscape and ipysigma—in the context of our use case.

Introduction During Summer 2023, I was working on a research project. I was trying to create a piece of software that would allow the user to take in a Greek Manuscript, like this one, and then, using the software, produce a computer-generated transcription of the text inside, a classic Optical Character Recognition problem.
