Plotly Virtual Hangout

Bringing Passionate Python Developers Together

June 25 @ 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 June session will feature Faron Anslow. After getting his PhD at the University of British Columbia, Faron started leveraging Plotly and Dash working as a climate scientist. At his current role, he uses Plotly to help disseminate projections of future sea level for Canada's coastlines. During the Hangout, Faron will show us how to:

  • Use Plotly as a data exploration tool
  • Use Plotly and Dash to build an app for monitoring snow in British Columbia
  • Self serve data exploration and figure styling for Canadian sea-level projections

Don’t miss this chance to connect with the community and learn from Faron’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.

Faron Anslow

Faron grew up near Portland, Oregon and gained a deep interest in earth science at a young age. He went on to earn degrees in Chemistry, Geography and Geology with a minor in Atmospheric Science. Faron has studied glaciers and ice sheets past, present and future; worked to better understand how extreme weather events are linked to climate change and is currently helping to disseminate projections of future sea level for Canada's coastlines. He currently lives in Victoria, BC.
