GCN have a new video out on the thorny issue of hi-viz for cyclists. Very pleased they asked to interview me for this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33GpfTWdk8U

Earlier this week I released version 0.5.1 of spyder-notebook, a plugin for Spyder (the scientific Python IDE) which can display and run Jupyter notebooks. More info on GitHub: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder-notebook

This version is based on the new Jupyter Lab v4 and the even newer Jupyter Notebook v7. The latter was announced in this blog post: https://blog.jupyter.org/announcing-jupyter-notebook-7-8d6d66126dcf

The new Jupyter Notebook version is a massive improvement for us because it allows us to follow Jupyter more closely. An important benefit for users is that any Jupyter extensions can now be used inside Spyder (fair warning: not all extensions are yet updated to work with Jupyter Lab v4).

Thanks to all the people at Jupyter Notebook and the wider Jupyter ecosystem for their work, the open architecture making it easy to build on their products.

I love this quote, from an interview with Fredi Otto (link below), who works on attributing extreme events to climate change:

"'We've been brainwashed to think that 'freedom' is to live in concrete and drive a car. That's a very stupid definition of freedom.""

Scientists left a hamster wheel in the woods, and wild mice, frogs even slugs had a wild time running in it. #Science #Mice #Rodents #Hamster https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2014.0210
