I'm a Ph.D. student in biophysics in Paris, and I'm contributing to scientific python community mostly by being involved in IPython.
I have mainly contributed in two areas of this project recently.
I improved the user interface of the recently released QtConsole, adding the menu bar with most of the menu actions, shortcut and icons to improve usability for new user, and better discoverability of functions. In particular, there is now a magics menu listings all currently available IPython magic function.
