Will Farr shares examples of Jupyter use within the LIGO and Virgo Scientific Collaborations and offers lessons about the (many) advantages and (few) disadvantages of Jupyter for large, global scientific collaborations. Along the way, Will speculates on Jupyter's future role in gravitational wave astronomy.

Drawing on his experience with the Pangeo project, Ryan Abernathey makes the case for the large-scale migration of scientific data and research to the cloud. The cloud offers a way to make the largest datasets instantly accessible to the most sophisticated computational techniques. A global scientific data commons could usher in a golden age of data-driven discovery.
