Look at the amazing earrings I won at the PyLadies #PyconUS Auction!
1,674 glass beads arranged to represent a Python program.
Should I wear them to my poster session for everyone to check out?
Yes, I will find any excuse to wear my llama ears at #PyconUS.
I loved this talk at by @Reuven about when students should and should not use LLMs when learning to program.
Lots of practical tips: https://speakerdeck.com/reuven/edu-summit-2025-dot-key
Learnt a ton from @crazy4pi314 in their "Snakes in a Grid" tutorial at #PyconUS about how we can use Python to work with Excel spreadsheets:
* Use pandas read_excel() to turn an XLSX into a dataframe, and to_excel() to turn a dataframe to an XLSX

* Use openpyxl to create a spreadsheet from scratch, complete with working formulas and charts!

I was so excited to meet the creator of the earrings that I won from the #PyconUS #PyLadies auction -- and discover she made a pair for herself, too!
If you squint hard, you can kind of read the Python program in the earrings...
FlaskCon is happening again this year at PyCon US 2025!
https://flaskcon.com/2025/
FlaskCon will be the first day of PyCon, Friday May 16, 2 - 6 PM. We're looking for talk proposals about using Flask, Quart, or other Pallets projects.
CFP closes April 17!
I gotta say, my poster for the #PyconUS poster session is looking realllll cute.
I'd share it here, but that'd be spoilers. Come by on Sunday if you're attending, otherwise I'll share after!
