+# PyMieScatt
+
+In addition to over twenty functions for Mie theory calculations, it contains an implementation of a highly visual method for solving the inverse Mie problem for the complex refractive index, given known or assumed size parameter and optical measurements.

-Welcome AAAR 2017 Attendees! You can find Ben at posters 2CA.18, 2CA.21 (Tuesday) and 8IM.44 (Thursday). I'm happy to answer any questions, and you can always `e-mail me <http://pymiescatt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#author-contact-information>`_.
+AAAR 2017: thanks everyone for the feedback and comments! To continue the dialog, `e-mail me <http://pymiescatt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#author-contact-information>`_.
 
-Documentation is currently under development. This documentation includes a brief discussion of Mie theory and the development of the functions included in the package. A manuscript communicating the development and use of this package was submitted to the `Journal of Quantative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00224073>`_. It has been accepted and is currently being proofed for publication. The JQSRT preprint is `available now <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jqsrt.2017.10.012>`_.
+NEWS: PyMieScatt is being ported to Julia! I did a few timing and comparison tests and got some basic Mie functions to run 2-6 times faster on Julia than Python. This is a side project and could take some time to see complete functionality. The inverse algorithms are the hard part. I may port the numerical algorithms first, and then the graphical ones later once I figure out how plotting objects in Julia work.
