So, I’m going to be in northern Spain on Aug 12 for the total solar #eclipse, my first. 🤩 Can any random eclipse glasses from Amazon do or are there more reputable sources for them? I don’t want to be a statistic on Google’s “why do my eyes hurt” search map. (I use Kagi anyway but still.)

Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The #skimage team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏

and they were just 10% slower than the fastest C code — and that's including all the Python launch time and JIT warmup!

As academic #BioImageAnalysis jobs in Australia go, this one is pretty good: Microscopy Platform Applications Specialist at UniMelb Biological Optical Microscopy Platform.
https://jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/916889
The BOMP team is very nice, and continuing positions are really hard to find in Oz right now. (I do not have one.) Advertised at Academic Level A (geared at someone recently out of PhD).
