* https://github.com/Wagk/Unsong-In-Ebook-Format/files/1016274/Unsong.zip
* murderbot diaries <- book rec by Nick
* Nick will submit a poster abstract for PlasmaPy code stuff
* Focus on what we've done for the last year and future goals
* How to get involved
* ...will open a google doc or something to get the abstract started
* We now have PlasmaPy email addresses through our Google™ overlords
* `[e-mail]`, `[e-mail]`
* Hack week meetings now on Wednesdays & Fridays at 9 am PDT
* could add `[e-mail]`
*  Stańczyk, not Stańczak nor Staństick
* [Helpful German pronunciation materials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein_discography)
* Do something like [`docs/conf.py`](https://sdfasjklfsa.com) in reST?
* No.
* Nevermind.
* `` `docs/conf.py` <the link>``_ .... `docutils` and/or `sphinx` can not properly parse this syntax
* Would have to create a role that specifically adds this.
* Could add an issue when `plasmapy_sphinx` is spun off.
* Probably not worth the time and effort for us.
* Nick needs to add to presenters email list
* Dominik needs to model electrons in neoclassical
* Using `IonizationState` and `IonizationStateCollection`
* Need to include electrons in the modeling
* In far future, might want a container that lets you access data like densities, temperatures, charges, etc. for multiple charge levels of multiple isotopes at once.
