My greatest achievement: beating @andersoncooper in a block puzzle contest

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

At Vanderbilt University’s Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, a data scientist on the autism spectrum and @andersoncooper compare visual problem-solving abilities using a block design test. https://t.co/VvJVWET2OW

My appearance on @60Minutes re-aired this weekend. You can watch it here if you haven't seen it already!

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Many adults with autism have a hard time finding a job, but more companies are discovering the unique skills and potential people with autism offer. @andersoncooper reports. https://t.co/DUFsty201K

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: THE LAUNCH OF THE VOICES OF DIVERSITY PODCAST https://t.co/w90R8sRBv4

[Dan Burger @danburger]

Excited to have been featured on a podcast about diversity, hosted by the wonderful @RockiHowardSPHR! I talk about my work and how I got to where I am now. https://t.co/SKV987Uz88

[Frist Center for Autism and Innovation @FristCenter]

Recently Dan Burger adapted these trees, originally designed by Amaya Caudel, to create a digital version and here we have a sneak peak! Did you know that computer programming and visual thinking are common strengths in the autism community? #AutismAwarenessMonth #Neurodiversity

[New Horizons ProfABA @NewHorizonsABA]

When scientists needed to make sense of complex data from NASA's Kepler telescope, Dan Burger, who has #autism, helped develop interactive software that produced a new way of judging the size and age of stars. https://t.co/COAL6UBsEp

Dan Burger has a unique ability to visually process large amounts of visual data. Dan is a data scientist & has built an interactive software program to help scientists analyse images taken by the Kepler telescope. #Autism #Astrophysics

[Dra. Laura Vega @LunaAlphaLyrae]

My PhD advisor, Dr. Keivan Stassun, helped start the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at #Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN! I'm so proud of their work! ❤🎉 BTW #Astrophysicists and #DataScientists, check out Dan Burger's #Filtergraph tool here: https://t.co/TZ106sn0LR

[Nashville Entrepreneur Center @entrecenter]

Longtime member, friend of the EC, and Pitch for Good: Data/Analytics/AI Edition finalist @danburger was featured on last night's episode of @60Minutes! Check out this clip where he beats @AndersonCooper in a visual problem-solving test: https://t.co/2I5fPQBtNe

[Vanderbilt University @VanderbiltU]

“I needed help from someone who had data scientist Dan Burger’s unique talents to look for patterns in data,” said Keivan Stassun, the director of Vanderbilt’s @FristCenter, which was featured on @60Minutes Sunday.

[Dan Burger @danburger]

It was an honor to be interviewed for a story on @60Minutes about autism and employment by @andersoncooper which aired last night on CBS. My work on @filtergraph at @vanderbiltu is featured. Here's the full segment and transcript: https://t.co/BpkvSLMhyc

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

“My greatest skill is I see things differently from other people,” says data scientist Dan Burger, who is on the autism spectrum. He built an interactive software program that helped scientists judge the size and age of stars, that NASA has since licensed. https://t.co/z3FOMRoViE

[ACCRE Vanderbilt @ACCREVandy]

In case you missed yesterday's seminar by @danburger, here's the recording: https://t.co/I4j5NQji3n

[Clifford Anderson @andersoncliffb]

.@danburger is demonstrating how to calculate Pi to a million digits using Python on @accrevandy, @VanderbiltU's High Performance Computing Center.

[Dan Burger @danburger]

Excited to have worked the @HypatiaCatalog booth at #aas231 with @natalie_hinkel this week! I did the web development for this wonderful resource to help astronomers study the stars. https://t.co/VY57RBdZ5n
