I really like the capstone in 06-sharing-all-your-analysis - it's creating a picture of docker being this tool to freeze your code, data and deps in a little blob of amber, which I think could be a really compelling way to wrap up (and we might want to call that out more). A couple tweaks:

There might be room for some context here, too; I think the encased-in-amber approach makes a lot of sense for reproducing that paper you wrote that time, but there's a whole other paradigm too - I use docker as a tool to quickly stand up analysis frameworks, that I might want to run on new data and new code, rather than on a fixed thing from history. As such, rather than baking everything in, it's interesting to think about infrastructure to integrate your docker container with your github repo, your figshare data,... Probably (way) too much for this lesson, but maybe in the supplementals or as a high-level, qualitative comment.

Hey Bill, do you have any suggestion for the type of data that you would like to see?
