#FutureFriday Excited to announce the course is gaining a new instructor as I transition to an #ORISE fellowship with the CDC. Welcoming tips on how to adapt to all things southern. Excited to learn and grow this next year, but sad to say bye colleagues in @Tanzania & @WSUPullman

#NerdyThursday ohhhh this is a great challenge! I know I will be attempting the #heartchart challenge. Any other past course registrants want to give this a go? See below for @evergreendata 's contest info:

@USDAForeignAg Are you a local evaluator seeking support for advanced quantitative or qualitative methods for an FFP evaluation? Washington State University has amazing faculty with international expertise who make awesome collaborators!

[M&E Leadership in Learning @M_E_Lead_Learn]

#WorkingWednesday 'horizon scanning': start discussions early with awarded project implementing orgs. Now is a great time to reach out to @USDAForeignAg FFP awardees for info re:RFP releases in the #Philippines #Paraguay #EastAfria, #WestAfrica #Indonesia https://t.co/7I2VD0rgXm

#BeautyTuesday Bad Passwords on #TidyTuesday today. This graphic cuts right to the core, giving a short list of passwords to avoid. Love that the bad passwords in each category make up the bars. I gotta learn how to do this!

[Htin Kyaw Aye @htinkyawaye]

I am loving Michael's simplicity though! My #TidyTuesday submission for this week looking at most common weak passwords.

#MethodMonday excited to apply learning from an @AEAamp eStudy for projects I've been supporting in #Tanzania this week.

#FutureFriday Reflecting on @DrZImmermann's post. Zippy looking dashboards and fancy data collection interfaces are a trend in M&E. Looking for examples of such a system that empowers local data users in function, form, and design not in jargon. #walkthewalk #dataethics

[Annette Zimmermann @DrZimmermann]

Read our new @BostonReview essay, citing @HNissenbaum @FrankPasquale on the importance of politically contesting the design of emerging technologies. https://t.co/My65SqljUB #AIethics #democraticAI #FATML #politicalphilosophy

#FutureFriday because it is Friday somewhere, right? Love @datassist and am sad that I will miss this learning opportunity. Hoping someone else can listen in and send me notes?

[Heather Krause, We All Count @datassist]

Fulfilling my @aeaweb promise to talk about why the heck anyone uses bootstrapping in evaluation and statistics. Join me at the Data Amnesty Salon next Tuesday 11am Eastern. Link to attend online: [https://t.co/NEkKvJKS0D]

#NerdyThursday loving chipping away (slowly slowly) in @rfortherest of us's online intro course. I am not new to R code, but it's awesome to have a great professional teacher demonstrating the amazing data viz abilities that stats courses I've taken didn't cover.

#WorkingWednesday FYI fiscal year 2019 awards that should have upcoming evaluation work posted soon are the USDA FAS Food for Progress projects, check them out here: https://t.co/x8stkcmuZ8 #equitableeval

#WorkingWedneday Tip to track pending external consulting work: put the date a donor has stated in an RFP they will make an award. Network to ID organizations that applied. Contact potential implementer organizations close to the award decision. Do others have different tips?

[M&E Leadership in Learning @M_E_Lead_Learn]

@evergreendata @mjorgensen1727 @CJMajka Had a text exchange with a friend about platforms generally. My advice was garbage in, garbage out. Many fancy systems I've seen dress up really ugly, unreliable data & fail to support collaborative, multi-level data use. Smallholdr is an exception to this https://t.co/YEw1PBfK5o

#BeautyTuesday from two of my favorite R users/posters. Inspired to take the time to up my R #dataviz game this year. I especially like the blog post from @cedscherer it helps to start learning with wisdom from others. #statsrcool #dataviziscooler

[David Keyes @dgkeyes]

Over the course of 2019, @CedScherer produced some of my favorite #TidyTuesday visualizations. He also put together a great post titled. A ggplot2 Tutorial for Beautiful Plotting in R.

#MethodMonday what an opportunity to learn from leaders in the field how to connect use to evaluation work. This is a tough nut to crack, and I am looking forward to learning from @msegone and Micheal Dahl Jan 10! Thanks @Eval_Youth

[EvalYouth Global Network @Eval_Youth]

Happy New Year! Have a great start in 2020 by learning how to become a young and emerging evaluator who makes a difference. Register for free to participate at our joint webinar with UNFPA January 10, 2020 from 9:30 - 10:30 AM EST. Register: https://t.co/vN2P4gFMmj

[M&E Leadership in Learning @M_E_Lead_Learn]

@SueMentors @apkessler Definitely need to include something that references data collection from project records on outputs.

#FutureFriday I will be unplugging over the holiday break, hope everyone's holidays are like:

#NerdyThursday Printing out the Orben and Przybylski article on screen use & adolescent health to see how they used “specification curve analysis” in some large survey datasets. The @NYT article has a nice summary and more details. #statsmethods https://t.co/yicWLvo3lH

#WorkingWednesday there are 620 M&E jobs for international development projects posted on Devex today. Check them out: https://t.co/seYiW7Fael

@tgarchibald @TessieCatsambas @NoSpinEvidence @Arnold_Ventures @NickRHart @iancdavieseval 2nd an Eval 101 refresher!
High time to debunk the epistemological fallacy that there is "1 method to rule them all".
This mentality about ANY method is problematic and would seem to violate @AEAamp #guidingprinciples. #RCTsareuseful #justnotallthetime #Galadrielknows

[M&E Leadership in Learning @M_E_Lead_Learn]

#BeautyTuesday a challenge to myself to try and replicate these infectious disease plots, starting with measles in the U.S. The little bit of lag time between the vaccine introduction and drop-off in rates of infection is interesting to the social scientist in me.
