Easing script writing in Google Colab with structural biology snippets

Slides from talk on 1 August 2022 at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association: the Structural Sciences Society. The talk was using using snippet libraries in Colab notebooks. The end of the talk included using Neovim and other editors to code cells via GhostText; this might be the most widely useful takeaway from this talk.

The abstract has been published. A peer-reviewed paper is in preparation.
