As a postdoc, I often help students refine their plots and visualizations... so I built an open repo with tips + code snippets for Mathematica and Python, plus a Fast Guide to Scientific Visualization.
It’s open-source and welcomes contributions 🎨

I have been refining my "numerical recipes" notebooks in Python and Mathematica. Hopefully they would be useful for some students!!
Although, I came across to some pedagogical approach:
Should I use a more object-oriented structure (classes and methods) or individual functions?

After a while, I finally finished the first version of my SLM control using Python.
It is missing some more advanced features, but it will be receiving updates from time to time!

I haven't defended my thesis since I am still waiting for my reviews from a Professor. However, I effectively started my postdoc position in a new lab, and this is the best signature I came up with

PI: Manuel, for saying you are a theoretician, you give "experimental-like" solutions
Me, a man of science: Well, I like crafts :)
