Session
Did you know that waffles were invented in the 14th century? Is Acetaminophen gluten free? If you said "yes" to both questions, you must have seen Damon McDougall's legendary SciPy 2014 lightning talk.

Been coming to the conference since 2009
Sharing memories and photos, which we'll all combine
some will be profound, others asinine
Honey, do you mead more proof?
