Christine Smit
I'm a principal software engineer at the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC). Our prime directive is to archive earth science data and make that data available to the public for free. Since joining the GES DISC, I've mainly focused on the services end of public data access, working on tools that allow users to do some initial data exploration and visualization without having to download, understand, and open raw data files. I'm happy to wax poetic about metadata, interoperability, and well designed colorbars.
Session
JupyterLite takes the simplicity of the Jupyter notebook interface and hosts it entirely in the browser, eliminating the need to setup a JupyterHub, making the Jupyter notebook environment much more accessible to users. In this talk we'll explore how our team harnessed JupyterLite and web components to make the distance between browsing for data and coding against that data 10 seconds and a new tab.
