@xshinbrot @aaas @AAAS_STPF @AcademicChatter 2018-2019 fellow at the US Census Bureau. I spent a couple months in my host office after the fellowship and now I'm a data scientist working in healthcare. Happy to chat about exploring industry after. AAAS fellows end up everywhere.

@maggiekb1 I am reading all of your tweets. You're doing a great service by signal boosting this for those of us that aren't getting it in their bubble.

#CDF19 is about to start! I'm excited to see my summer fellows present the work they've been doing with me all summer! #datascience #machinelearning #civictechservice

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

I'm excited to give the best named talk I've ever written today! "Heigh-ho Heigh-ho it's off to classify we go"

The subtitle is a bit more drab: "Methodology Behind Text Mining Public Data and Machine-Learned Classification for NAICS Codes"

@amgcarlton @UCIrvine @jenn_prescher @icjennikins @Vy_Dong_Group @ManabuShiraiwa @JoePattersonEM @UCIChemistry @borovik_lab I've never been more proud to have gotten a PhD from "Kohn-Sham Slam" than this moment.

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

Happy Census Day everyone! On April 1st 2020 (seriously...) the #2020Census will commence! I can't stress enough how important this is for apportionment of the House of Representative and of federal funding. When the time comes, spread the word in your community. #CountMeIn

@jenn_tribble https://t.co/n1MZFQEjR0 of these I've only had pancakes and syrup which was quite tasty. Related, Peeps flavored Oreos are good.

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

@jenn_tribble I unabashedly love the weird Peeps flavors. Does that count?

I got profiled in the AAAS Policy Fellowship Newsletter for my data science work as the first fellow ever placed at the Census Bureau! https://t.co/P2QnuusFZR

I'm convinced no living human being spells bureauocracy.... errr... burocracy... damnit... bureaucracy, right on their first try. You'd think working for the Census Bureau would help me get it right.

Happy Sunshine Week! Governmental #opendata at all levels is crucially important to keep our government accountable and also to help fuel innovation and growth in the economy.

@jenn_tribble @Steph_Guerra @AppelleMoiChloe @AdrianaBankston @SDrewStory @lscairns18 @smr32 @Ellen_Genevieve @chengire @DDaCrema1 I'll be out of town at that time! :(

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

@bpisaacoff @pnhoward I wish it was recorded, I'd love to watch it again to absorb it all.

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

Fantastic and sobering talk about the Census from former director @RobertMGroves. It breaks my heart that the safety of enumerators is at risk in some parts of the country. #AAASmtg

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

The idea of using blockchain for scientific attribution is pretty cool! Krishna Ratakonda of IBM is delivering a compelling case for blockchain. #AAASmtg

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

Time to come out of my long Twitter slumber for the #AAASmtg! I'm so excited for my first annual meeting as an @AAAS_STPF! 4 years ago I set out to become a fellow due to the meeting.

[Justin C Smith @JustCliffSmith]

@DrTepring Thanks!
