> Dear friends,
>
> PyaR (Python and Research) is a free virtual Python tutorial that covers the 
> basics of Python programming via a series of 6 Jupyter notebooks that are 
> derived from the actual code used in a 2015 scientific journal article on the 
> Andromeda galaxy led by my former UC Santa Cruz PhD student. We developed the 
> tutorial by replacing key lines of code in the notebooks with coding 
> instructions; students are expected to recreate these lines of code as they 
> work through the tutorial.
>
> Here is the link to the document that describes the PyaR tutorial:

>
> The next offering of the virtual (via Zoom and Slack) mentored sessions for the 
> PyaR tutorial by my graduate students and myself will be on May 4, 11, and 18 
> (all Saturdays) from 8–10 AM PDT. The sessions will include Q&A on Python 
> issues and will cover the key astrophysical concepts that are relevant for the 
> tutorial. Please spread the word among students.
>
> Students who are interested in participating – whether synchronously or 
> asynchronously – should please fill out this Google form. Among other things, 
> this will prompt us to send interested students an email invitation to join 
> the PyaR Slack channel.
>
> The last two offerings of the PyaR tutorial – November 2018 and March 2019 – 
> each drew a global audience of high school, college, and even middle school, 
> and graduate students. The audience for the May 2019 sessions promises to be 
> a global one as well.
>
> Please let me know if you have any questions.
