Plotly Virtual Hangout

Bringing Passionate Python Developers Together

July 30 @ 12PM EDT

We’re proud and lucky to have a thriving community of enthusiastic Plotly users. Plotly Community Manager Adam Schroeder started a new initiative called “Plotly Hangouts”. The casual session will occur every month and feature an interactive interview with a Plotly Community member with live audience Q&A. (Think of it as a virtual fireside chat!)

The July session will feature Michael Stephens. Working in the California Water Science Center, Michael’s research is focused on understanding the salinity of deep groundwater, using Plotly. His work helps fill knowledge gaps in subsurface resources by creating models and maps of underground rock layers and groundwater salinity. And his research papers and maps are used to inform natural resource management. During the Hangout, Mihcael will show us how to:

  • Visualize 3-d subsurface geological data
  • Explore and interpret 3-d statistical models
  • Disseminate models and maps to the public

Don’t miss this chance to connect with the community and learn from Michael’s expertise!

Meet the Speakers

Adam Schroeder

Adam Schroeder is passionate about helping people learn data visualization. He has helped the community grow by building 1:1 relationships, resulting in 1.5 million downloads of Dash per month. Prior to joining the team, Adam taught Plotly Dash for over three years on YouTube as @CharmingData, whose videos have over 60,000 views per month. More recently, he was inspired to co-author “The Book of Dash” to provide another learning method for people who want to learn Dash.

Michael Stephens

Michael is a Research Hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey working in the California Water Science Center. Michael’s research is focused on learning about where subsurface natural resources are and the factors impacting those resources. He is primarily interested in understanding the salinity of deep groundwater. His work helps fill knowledge gaps in subsurface resources by creating models and maps of underground rock layers and groundwater salinity. His research papers and maps are used to inform natural resource management.
