Finally, the cherry on top of the cake, our final keynote speaker - Mars Lee! If you've ever been into comic books in your life, then this is only going to double your excitement. And if you haven't been into them, well this is probably your calling. Mars Lee is a Technical Illustrator who makes byte-sized comics that explain technical topics!

Her most recent works are the "How to Contribute to NumPy" [0] and "How to Write Alt Text for Scientific Diagrams and Documentation" [1] comics. Outside of conferences, you can find her making zines and rollerskating across NYC. Get to know more about her on both Twitter/X [2] and LinkedIn [3].
