[AstroPy] With Python to your first Nature paper...

[Derek Homeier]

Happy New Year everyone!

I thought this might be of interest to the list as confirmation and motivation of 
your work: how a 15-year old started out learning Python as part of a summer
research project and ended up co-author of a Nature paper on galaxy formation
(and he is the son of Rodrigo Ibata, so a bit of it must be running in the family… ;-)
