@mikestopforth My experience (I work mostly with healthcare data now) is 2 conds need to be met for people to be comfortable to share data: 1) Who will store / process my data and 2) Show me what you do with it to add value to my life

How gendered is the clothing offer for children? For our @SZ data analysis, we examined 20,000 shirts and shorts from @hmdeutschland, @Zalando and @aboutyou_com that they offer online for children under 10. The results show: Current children's fashion cements gender images. 🧵

The diversity crisis in AI continues. Globally, workers in AI & data science are 78% men. It's 80% men in the UK. In time for #IWD2021, the legendary Judy Wajcman, Erin Young and Laila Sprejer have released a new report on the gender gap in AI https://t.co/I9ZcWOAyWi

@mikestopforth Between no vaccs (likely means no travel) and network disruption because of power supply, it takes more and more (over-servicing) to keep my international clients.

@katjanechild Where there is fear, there is shaming. “They got hospitalized with COVID because they were partying or obese or irresponsible ... therefore I can’t get COVID because I am moral and look after myself and my family.” ‘Othering’ is a fear response that is not helpful.

Some football matches are now filmed with AI-powered cameras designed to track the ball during play. Much to the annoyance of viewers, during the recent Inverness Caledonian Thistle vs Ayr United match one camera kept confusing the ball with a bald-headed linesman.

"Help us decide," the night whispered. "Fear or hope?"

"Who else was asked?" he said.

"Each star in the sky."

"Then millions have spoken. Why does my voice matter?"

"We haven't heard it yet."

@StatsSA Nice data story-telling / viz on this one, @StatsSA . Clear and simple (which is so needed with these utterly devastating numbers).

I work as an independent in a different industry but these lessons are spot on.

Today in 2015 I was retrenched from my job as science editor at a newspaper.

I was told that science journalism was a “nice to have”. As of this week, I have been a freelancer for five years.

It was the best thing that could have happened. 1/

To remain humble, my father @HansRosling used this thought as his daily morning pray of thankfulness: “Thank you plumbers, for bringing me my daily hot clean water.”
It warms my ❤️ to see you liked exactly those two pages from @factfulness ! 🌺

@mikestopforth @pierreduplessis I’ve always wanted to know if there are studies on whether there is a difference in adaptability to change between these 2 groups. As someone firmly on the ‘random’ side, I find I’m able to accept change for what it is. It’s not ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’, it just is. Helpful this year.

They gathered around the tower of bone.

"We should knock it down," they said.

"Because you're jealous of what we've built!" called the ones atop the tower.

"No," said the ones below, "because you used our bones."

A study in Nature maps interactions on social media between pro-, neutral and anti-vaccination views and how they may influence each other. It provides insights into how distrust in scientific expertise on vaccines can evolve in online communities. https://t.co/z3zGP1rih5
