VALLEY TECHCON SLIDES

September 28, 2019

This week, I gave a talk at Valley TechCon in Harrisonburg, VA (where I live),
which is a conference that features tech businesses and practitioners from the
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and is in its 2nd year. There were a bunch of
cool topics and speakers, and it was great to see what other great tech is being
built in my part of the world! I said I’d share my slides on my “SQL for Data
Science” talk, so here they are! I only had 40 minutes, so this wasn’t a full
tutorial, and I couldn’t really teach many different concepts, but my main goal
was to point out a bunch of different stuff you could do with SQL, and how to
think about creating an analytical dataset, so attendees would be aware of what
was possible and what they should look up if they wanted to start learning about
SQL....

BECOMING A DATA SCIENTIST EPISODE 17: ANDREW THERRIAULT

May 29, 2019



In the first episode of the Becoming a Data Scientist podcast recorded in front
of a live audience, Renee interviews Andrew Therriault – formerly the Director
of Data Science for the Democratic National Committee & Chief Data Officer for
the City of Boston, and currently Data Science Manager at Facebook – about how
he learned data science, what advice he has for people who want to learn data
science and apply for data science jobs, and about his career path as a Data
Scientist and leader in the field.

RVATECH SUMMIT SLIDES

March 15, 2019

I promised the audience at the RVATech Summit yesterday that I’d post the
updated slides for my “Can a Machine be Racist or Sexist?” talk, so here they
are! Here is the link to the previous post, which has a pdf version of the
slides that’s almost identical, and a video from when I gave this talk at Tom
Tom Fest Applied Machine Learning Conference in 2018. Here’s the blog post that
was the start of researching this topic, for me. Here’s the twitter list of
people who talk about Ethics & Law in AI/ML. And here’s the flipboard magazine
where I collect articles on this topic....

TOM TOM FEST APPLIED MACHINE LEARNING CONFERENCE 2019

March 10, 2019

The 2019 iteration of Tom Tom Fest (named after Thomas Jefferson) starts in
under a month, and the Applied Machine Learning Conference (AMLC) is just over a
month away, on April 11, in Charlottesville, VA! This is a conference I’ve
helped plan since the beginning, and it’s grown in 3 years from a single theater
with a partial day of talks to 4 theaters with non-stop presentations all day,
plus keynotes in an even larger venue! An exciting announcement from me is that
I will be recording a short episode of my Becoming a Data Scientist Podcast in
front of a live audience for the first time at the AMLC! I’ll be interviewing
Andrew Therriault, one of our keynote speakers, about how he became an
Infrastructure Data Science Manager at Facebook, after starting out with degrees
in politics, and working as the Director of Data Science for the Democratic
National Committee, and the Chief Data Officer for the City of Boston, among
other roles. I am featuring an AMLC speaker each day with the #AMLCville hashtag
on twitter. You can learn more about all of our speakers (still more to be
added!) and get tickets on the conference website. Hope to see you...

SUMMER OF DATA SCIENCE GOAL-SETTING

June 6, 2018



The purpose of the Summer of Data Science is to learn a specific topic or
complete a specific project or read a book or finish a course so you can check
something off of your long data science “to learn” list, and have fun achieving
goals along with other data science learners during a fixed period of time. The
deadline should be motivating, to get you to start and finish something before
the summer is over.

Week 1 was all about brainstorming ideas and gathering resources – dreaming up
what you’d love to learn, and finding content that will help you learn it.

Week 2 (which started yesterday, but don’t worry, jump in any time even if you
see this a month from now) is all about goal-setting.

#CRAFTYDATAVIZ WINNERS

June 1, 2018



About a month ago, on a whim, I posted the #CraftyDataViz contest, hoping for
some beautiful and wacky homemade visualizations, and you all sure came through!
The entries were gorgeous and the judging was super difficult!
