📢Today in @ScienceMagazine! New research from DSE & @UCSBenioffOcean finds it’s possible to nearly end global plastic pollution if policymakers take action. Explore our findings and vision for action 🌍dse.berkeley.edu/news/critical-… #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty #EndPlasticPollution

In Ottawa for #INC4? 🇨🇦 Attend our side event: "The Plastics Treaty as an Opportunity for Climate Action" TONIGHT at the Westin Ottawa! 🌎 Learn about the link between the plastics crisis and climate change and policy modeling tools. 📈 Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The key finding in our new research: it is actually *possible* to end plastic pollution. FOREVER. In this Treaty. Please @UN #INC3 do not squander this once in a lifetime opportunity. For planet. For people. time.com/6335579/countr…

Excited to share the latest from DSE - interactive AI / ML tools to inform the UN global treaty on plastic pollution. Congrats to the team!

A great event with some great colleagues. Interested in science communication? Join for this free event on Berkeley's beautiful campus: eventbrite.com/e/science-stor…

@ben_fry I’m so sorry Ben. :( Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. Thanks for everything you‘ve done for the project.

I have made the extremely difficult decision to resign from the Processing Foundation. I am absolutely heartbroken, and have not slept well for months.

@svpino I work in ML & data viz. Just in case anyone is scrolling through nervously like me: Some FAANG, some start ups, some patents but I’ve only got a BS. PhD would have been great but wasn’t a good option at the time personally. It can work out without one!

If you work as a data scientist or a machine learning engineer, and you don't have a graduate degree (Masters or Ph.D.) reply below. I'd love to ask you a few questions.

@cscotta Oh no :(

Really heartbroken for my Twitter friends. Sending love and, if I can ever be of help, my door is always open. ❤️😭

@mikerugnetta Do you have a newsletter, RSS, homing pigeon… just in case?

Excited to have a recent article (looking at common challenges and solutions for cross-disciplinary data science projects) accepted into the @Mlearning_ai Medium publication! medium.com/mlearning-ai/b…

Published a small medium post looking at common challenges in cross-disciplinary #datascience projects with potential solutions from information, interaction, game, and language design: @SamPottingerData/building-together-why-data-projects-fail-and-how-to-foster-collaboration-a31f7b97accf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@SamPottingerD…

Long day 😅. Sketching some #genart in Plant. #opensource code (and better resolution) at plantlang.ink/?code=skip200%…

New #OpenSource project! Finally released StartupOptionsBot.com after using it in a recent talk to show how data scientists model uncertainty in complex systems. Using start up options as an example, demonstrates Monte Carlo and Markov Chains in browser!
