Data analysts take note. The overwhelming success of deep learning proves that with the right algorithm, a pre-cleaned data set and as little as 20 million dollars worth of compute, anything is possible.

Data, climate solutions and imaginal cells (didn’t know what those were either...every day’s a school day) with @juliekae @matthewtgardner Michael Ibach and Fahmida Ahmed Bangert @ChurchillClub #data4good #ClimateActionNow

@mpbrown716 @EricJAst Thank you, Mike! It was a real pleasure to sit down and hear your perspectives.

@banesullivan @dataandpolitics If they’re solving interesting / meaningful problems maybe this is an opportunity to “show them the light”?

[Analysts Of America @AnalystsAmerica]

There may come a day when we reflexively believe everybody younger than us is rotten.

Thankfully that day has not yet come, so we get to appreciate what @mpbrown716 is up to captaining @CodeForBuffalo & tempering data-first with human-centered design.

Our friends are better people than we are, so this checks out mathematically and observationally.

Very much enjoyed this piece from @AllenDowney on the inspection paradox.

What happens to 311 calls? If you're lucky, great people with data skills use them to improve services. We think that makes folks in #miamifl pretty lucky.

We talked patience+ performance w/ @_Cheriene, Strategic Planning+ Performance Mgr, City of #Miami

It's easy to get discouraged doing data work in the mission-driven sphere, but a little reminder from @RandyBeanNVP that has given us comfort:

This work is hard everywhere.

[Analysts Of America @AnalystsAmerica]

Maybe we're unfailing optimists, but this looks like a positive sign (in the short term, at least).

More firms know what they didn't know, so they are both improving AND feeling worse about where they stand. Seems like necessary / healthy growing pains?

@ChrisBrunton3 You’re doing great stuff and thinking deeply about the craft. Was our pleasure!

[Analysts Of America @AnalystsAmerica]

Five bucks you won't find a data conversation with a better reference to Carl Jung's "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" today.

Thank you @ChrisBrunton3 for taking the time to chat Peter Principle and transitioning from English major to analyst with us.
