Python for science, side projects and stuff!
summary
A case study of side projects that turn into research tools: scraping PLoS metrics with requests and BeautifulSoup to analyze the "10 Simple Rules" series, creating publication plots with matplotlib (first five slides generated via python-pptx), automating Google Scholar lookups and conference metrics via a Slack bot, and building a one-line emoji FASTQ inspector that shows per-base quality on the console. Workflows run overnight, two papers emerge over two years, and the tools are reusable in daily bioinformatics.
