My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Exploratory analyses and experiments are exciting. So is the crucial work of defining, evolving, and sharing clear, standardized business metrics. A good reminder from @bennstancil https://t.co/OdTHZ2xUMO

I was losing sleep re: the state of the world my kids will inherit ... until I started volunteering with @citizensclimate. The nonpartisan organization gives me a daily dose of hope about our future + concrete things I can DO. Check out the great op-ed they posted today:

Donating effectively - 🧵inspired by annual onslaught of requests for #GivingTuesday.

As someone who has worked w/ & given to a lot of NGOs over the years, I've thought about donating a fair amount, & now have a fundamental metaphor:

**Donating should parallel investing**

This Thanksgiving

I am grateful for

Vaccines that make it safe for families to get together

Healthcare workers still there 20 months into this brutal pandemic

And to everyone doing their part to keep the world healthy and safe and moving forward

#HappyThanksgiving

Okay, we must admit! This was such a great talk by @emilieschario about breaking your data team out of the "service trap" at #mdscon 🙌

It's so hard to put this on your feed (😨), but we can try and share some highlights from her insightful talk 👇

Learning to drive decisions quickly, a bias to action, is a critical competency for an analyst.

Every skill you learn – communication, storytelling, experimentation, metrics design, causal inference – supports this.

Here are a few tactics I use to speed up time-to-decision.

[Katie Bauer @imightbemary]

Designing metrics and setting goals that incentivize the right kind of impact is an extremely underrated skill... and its most underrated application might just be keeping people honest about what strategy they're actually pursuing

My latest: The San Francisco Board of Supervisors quashed 800 housing units in October alone, first saying a project didn’t offer needed family housing, then rebuffing one nearby that offered lots of it. And the housing crisis just keeps getting worse. https://t.co/Idjjjl1B84

highly recommend going on a majestic sunset walk among some very old trees and listening to this interview between Ezra Klein and Richard Powers on cultivating a “reverence for the experiment [of life] beyond me and beyond my species”✨ https://t.co/W16dFPbMib

Digital formularies will be the norm for most payers w/in the next few years. #digitalhealth is going pop. Hoping it pops in a way driven by science not sales.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Leadership isn't a race to make the fastest decisions. It's a responsibility to make the wisest decisions.

Time pressure leads to shallow processing. Many of our regrets are choices made in haste.

Being quick and decisive is overrated. Being patient and flexible is underrated.
