sounds like the idea is to do merging of excel files with pandas and do some plots with matplotlib. You may want to look at seaborn.

Just keep pushing to GitHub as you are doing. Your setup looks good. You now just have to add some modules containing functions in the nobel_winners sub-directory for some easy points. Have a look at the rubric too. Let us know if you have any pandas questions too if you need help working through the csv processing.

Hi, John. I have a question: in the "born" column of my DataFrame "Nobel", there are birth date in formats of "06/15/1984", how can I extract only the year "1984" from that column? Thank you.

Have a look at [this](https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/03.11-working-with-time-series.html#Pandas-Time-Series:-Indexing-by-Time). A quick glance makes me think the following but let me know if you have problems. ``` nobel['born'] = pd.DatetimeIndex(nobel['born']) nobel['born'].year ```

Hi Xing,

Well done on the project. Pandas is a great tool to use when working with datasets and you use it to organize and plot your data nicely. The Jupyter notebook is also a nice addition to be able to visualize your plots. In the future, I think adding the .ipynb_checkpoints into your .gitignore file is a good idea. Also, it's a good idea to use the README.md to give a brief description of your code and its purpose; it will make it easier for others to understand and also for you to come back to your code and refresh your memory if you don't look at it for a while. Overall, nicely done!

Cheers,

Emily
