Discussion: Shout Out to All the Mediocre Data Scientists Out There 🙌

As a current student, I look forward to the day when I can level-up from an ignorant data science student to a mediocre data scientist.

If you’re also a student or mediocre data scientist, this discussion may be good motivation to keep on keepin’ on.

COVID-19 Dashboards

As expected, things are getting worse. Now that the U.S. executive branch decided to take over hospital data collection, I predict COVID data might become more unreliable and manipulated than it already is (looking at you, Florida). Even if there isn’t any malicious intent, changing complicated workflows during a crisis rarely works out for the better.

Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Stay safe out there!
