@JPKscience @BecomingDataSci @CarnegieMellon @UCSanDiego There is at least one more vegan DS (@chrisbenson). Gotta be more of us.

@BecomingDataSci 👋 I’m Chris. I’m a data scientist in the public sector (SF Bay Area) working at the intersection of population health and healthcare. Although my primary tool is Python, we also use R on our team and we integrate the two together 🙀.

Great talk from @math_rachel on algorithmic bias this morning👏👏. Let’s continue these discussions into action!

@CocaCola are you honestly going to continue supporting this disgusting abuse at @fairoaksfarms The only feeling I’m tasting is anger. https://t.co/XphpmoHxiA

Like many of you, I'm incredibly disappointed by DataCamp. I wanted to make a free version of my spaCy course so you don't have to sign up for their service – and ended up building my own interactive app. Powered by the awesome @mybinderteam & @gatsbyjs 💖 https://t.co/2QOuDPoZEX

Katie Bouman led the creation of an algorithm that helped capture the first ever image of a black hole. We asked her what this breakthrough means for science. For more reaction from other scientists, visit our YouTube channel: https://t.co/H1UfPI6Y8V

Hearing ⁦@fchollet⁩ talk about design thinking rather than deep learning was truly a highlight of my day. I feel like ⁦@NSSDeviations⁩ would approve. #DataScience #KaggleDaysSF

Today, I simply wanted to renew my passport online. After numerous attempts and changing my clothes several times, this example illustrates why I regularly present on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning bias, equality, diversity and inclusion. #passport

Concept of "biased data" is often too broad to be useful. Here is a framework of 5 types (with different types requiring different remedies):
- historical bias
- representation bias
- measurement bias
- evaluation bias
- aggregation bias

Just saw a mclaren outside a Peets coffee and thought of @NSSDeviations. Your brand recognition is getting fancy.

Has @reddit trained their model on comedic timing? Cuz this is gold.
