New Way To Cite PyHC
You can now uniquely identify PyHC as an entity with this ROR ID:
https://ror.org/012prn105
ROR is a global, community-led registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations. ROR IDs function much like DOIs but they are used for research organizations rather than individual research outputs. Learn more about ROR IDs on their website. Let’s spread the word about this new citation mechanism!
New Website URL!
We are excited to announce that we have purchased the pyhc.org domain. A very special thanks is owed to Pete Riley with Predictive Science Inc. for making the purchase and handling the renewals. At present, pyhc.org redirects to our original heliopython.org. This will remain the case during a transition period until we fully move the website to the new domain, at which time heliopython.org will start redirecting to pyhc.org. Please note that HTTPS support has not yet been added to the new domain, so https://pyhc.org will fail to redirect but http://pyhc.org will succeed. This is only temporary and it is not a security concern because redirects are still sent to the secure https://heliopython.org.
PyHC Spring 2022 Meeting Dates Announced

Inaugural PyHC 2022 Summer School
The Python in Heliophysics Community (PyHC) is excited to announce its inaugural 2022 Summer School, in partnership with the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC)! The PyHC Summer School will take place Monday, 30 May 2022 – Friday, 3 June 2022 at ESAC in beautiful Madrid, Spain. There will also be remote participation options for those unable to attend in-person. This event is free and open to all graduate students, early career scientists, and established scientists looking to transition to Python in the Heliophysics and Space Weather disciplines. PyHC Summer School attendees will learn Python best practices and receive hands-on instruction from experts as they take a deep dive — via tutorials, demos, and presentations — into the rich ecosystem of Heliophysics Python packages. See the Summer School’s web page for more information regarding the agenda, a link to pre-registration, and other pertinent information!
