PyLadies Summer Edition

Summer is here and we are organizing a special event.
We will have an amazing session of several lightning talks related to python in different fields: data science, biohacking, open source and much more!

SPEAKERS:

"My first GUI with Python" by Kimberly Aliaga

Introduction to GUI development using contact agenda as an example. Intro to Tkinter elements, where to use it, real life use examples and alternatives.

"Outreachy: Interships in open source software" by Lauryn Menard

Have you ever wanted to develop your Python skills beyond a personal project? Are you a non-traditional student looking to make a career transition to programming later in life? Do you like the idea of open source software, but don't know how to become involved in a project?
About a year ago, I could answer yes to all of those questions and so I set out to find some answers.

"El mundo del Data es para todos (y necesita de todos)" by Afra Lladó

El objetivo es explicar, con experiencias, la variedad de oportunidades y perfiles que hay en el sector del Data en la actualidad, a parte de los puramente informáticos o matemáticos. Además, de los diferentes productos y finalidades, se necesitan variedad de conocimientos.

"Biohacking con Python: ingeniería genética al alcance de cualquiera" by Marina Moro López

Introducción al biohacking seguida por una mini clase con un caso práctico que consistirá en editar nuestro propio ADN con CRISPR (una herramienta de corte y empalme biológico) y un script de Python (que diseñará las secuencias genéticas necesarias para el experimento) para biohackearnos ciertos genes y conseguir que seamos fluorescentes, tengamos el pelo azul y seamos calvas. Todo esto nos servirá para ver el tremendo potencial de la sinergia entre la ingeniería genética y Python, no sólo en ejemplos cómicos como los ya mencionados, sino también en el ámbito sanitario como tratamiento de enfermedades.

After the ligthning talks some drinks and snacks will be provided courtesy of PyLadiesBCN. Let's celebrate the arrival of summer together!!
