+ <div id="speakerinfo"><h3>Fernando Perez</h3>
+ Fernando Perez received his PhD in Physics from the University of
+ Colorado, Boulder, in 2002 working on questions regarding the
+ toplogical structure of the QCD vacuum using Lattice Gauge Theory
+ techniques. He then worked at the Applied Mathematics Dept. at the
+ same university, focusing on the development of a new family of
+ algorithms for the efficient application of linear operators in
+ multiple dimensions, with a focus on the uses of such techniques on
+ the (bound state) multiparticle Schrodinger Equation. Since early 2008,
+ he has worked as a research scientist at the Helen Wills Neuroscience
+ Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, on the development
+ of new algorithms and tools for neuroimaging. He is actively involved
+ in the development of tools for scientific computing using high-level
+ languages, in particular Python. He is the original author and leader
+ of the IPython project for interactive computing
+ (http://ipython.scipy.org) and an active contributor to other
+ scientific Python projects as well as a frequent lecturer on these
+ topics.</div>

+ Satrajit Ghosh is a research scientist at Research Laboratory of
+ Electronics at MIT and a faculty member of the Speech and Hearing
+ Biosciences and Technology program within the Harvard-MIT division
+ of Health Sciences and Technology. He has extensive experience with
+ neuroimaging, signal processing and software development. He has
+ developed state-of-the-art tools for analysis of neuroimaging data
+ and is managing the development of a Python-based, opensource,
+ multi-institution software project aimed at improving interoperability
+ among existing imaging analysis software packages
+ (http://nipy.org/nipype/). His current research focus is on
+ utilizing pattern classification approaches for diagnosis and
+ prediction of neurological disorders. His prior work involves
+ real-time synthesis of computer music and sound effects, controlling
+ chaotic oscillators, computational modeling of speech acquisition
+ and production, and realtime DSP-based speech signal processing. He
+ holds a BS(Honors) degree in Computer Science from the National
+ University of Singapore and a PhD in Cognitive and Neural Systems
+ from Boston University.</div>

+ but for the last 15 years he has been leading the Science Software
+ Branch. He has pioneered the use of Python in astronomy, and his group
+ been heavily involved in Python for the last 12 years. They have
+ developed PyRAF, numarray (the precursor to current numpy capabilities),
+ PyFITS, and been heavily involved in the development and support of
+ matplotlib. His group is now heavily involved in developing the science
+ software to support the next large space telescope under construction,
