@ChristianJMay Wokipedia? Are you sure about that?!

It seems our knowledge base is being built on Reddit threads

I have the opportunity to bring some #datascience researchers into the public sector to do 1 week research visits w/ seminar. I would love you to get in touch if you or someone you know fits the bill. Helpful but not essential for work to be econ/social science related #ML #AI

We're starting our week-long charity fundraising drive to Venice and back from this evening, pics of the Hawaii Five-LOW should be updated daily. All going well we'll be in France tomorrow for the start: justgiving.com/page/hawaii-5l…

@RSE_Sam @martinoreilly @pydatalondon @BBSRC I suggested that researchers should be trained to publish their code, and required to do so as a condition of taxpayer funded research grants. He said that he couldn't see the problem!

@RSE_Sam @martinoreilly @pydatalondon @BBSRC I argued that: * if it's not reproducible it's not science * when research code and data aren't published then the analyses aren't reproducible * valuable research material was being lost

I did a lightning talk on #ResearchSoftwareEngineering at #pydatalondon! Couldn’t do it justice as well as @martinoreilly could but tried!

Day 2️⃣ Main Talks: Code Smells in Data Science: What can we do about it ? - @xLaszlo #pydatalondon #pydatalondon2023

Day 2️⃣ Main Talks: Python for the Public Sector: Data Science for public good - @arthurturrell #pydatalondon #pydatalondon2023

Really interesting talk by @arthurturrell on data science in the public sector - calculating different inflation rates for different incomes. Such a dramatic difference (some cheap staples going up by ~15-50%!) #pydatalondon

We’ve just blogged about working with the @RoyalAirForce on flight safety & #datascience capability datasciencecampus.ons.gov.uk/projects/techn…. I’m particularly excited by this work, as it really shows the three things we’ve been trying to do @DataSciCampus from day one …
