@Mr_Phil_Johnson I was there live he crushed this one

[samhirvasdev @samhirvasdev]

@Mr_Phil_Johnson #004 responded with hand on ear. Earpiece? Static interference? Just asking questions

@Mr_Phil_Johnson I heard one of the contestants is friends with the judge. Just sayin

@alwalji Several datasets from https://t.co/FJFYGrQbH0 are gender disaggregated and cover these themes, for example https://t.co/eobNd7x8F6. @htkilic at @WorldBank might also have ideas

Data geeks unite! Looking for some reliable stats about tuition vs starting salaries over time for #globaldev #socialimpact profiles. We promise to make good use of it!!

[Nick Martin @ncmart]

Need some help!

Working on a neat concept w/ @samhirvasdev for a dynamic #dataviz on the cost of tuition in #globaldev masters programs vs the cost of starting salaries in at leading institutions. Where would best place to be find/gather this data? All ideas welcome.

Learn how to speak to AI. (Or at least, to this mind-blowing @midjourney chatbot that generates outrageously creative and confounding artwork). Highly recommend giving it a tinker—first few are free! https://t.co/tO3t83mPkl

@p_vasdev @BobsRedMill @AlmondBreeze Potential investment or monetization opportunity for @GCWCIntl, @koovac?

@wayan_vota @kroggemann @oalais How am I just now learning of this. Surely this demands a live cover performance at the next #GDDF? I hear @ncmart has been taking voice lessons, and @afivenson was in a rock band

Some fascinating insights from 96k ppl in 200 geographies here - like how #women were more likely than men to report feeling more #stressed due to #COVID. Hope this helps groups like @Data4SDGs @Data2X @UN_Women @TheGlobalCount to fill critical #gender #data gaps

big institutions tend to chew up radicals & spit em out—yet we need their resources, infrastructure, reach. and most don't understand the toll it takes to push for bold, transformative work from within.

so for those that do so & endure for the sake of our movements, thank you 💜

[samhirvasdev @samhirvasdev]

Thanks @sinanaral for highlighting the role of #tech companies in #digital #development. In 15mins I'll be w/ #impact-oriented folks at @Facebook @PayPal @SalesforceOrg @Googleorg at #GDDF2021 to dive deeper. cc @RositaNajmi @annalerner @meansandrew @BHGosselink @HollyKrambeck

@onoforpono The system is working flawlessly and entirely as intended, it seems

[samhirvasdev @samhirvasdev]

One of the finest reflections of 2020 on growth, change, and power. Food for thought that's already helping me frame - and challenge - my own priorities and goals as a person and professional. Thanks @PantheaLee as always for the insights! https://t.co/cIYqvkgL7z

Important reminder.

[Rebecca Enonchong @africatechie]

A Zoom meeting uses 540 MB to 1.62 GB of data per hour.

In Africa, median price for 1 GB is $7.04 w/ some higher than $20 per GB.

Africans pay for 'free' conferences and webinars. Pay for meetings. Pay to download your large attachments.
