Inspired to make this after conversation with an algebra 2 teacher talking about what students learn about functions in algebra 2.

Are you a professor? Dr. Gerardo Ramirez (Ball State) is interested in how you view student feedback. If you have a moment, take his 10-min survey! https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7VAxVbo3wbnqsNU
If you are interested in infusing your class with a gentle introduction to R, using a modeling approach that connects better with advanced models, or just wanna connect with other committed stats/data sci educators, join in our summer PD sessions on Zoom! https://mailchi.mp/8efe2b96ecf1/coursekatapd-12606100
Get HS students to take 4 years of math -- that's what I get out of new report using LAUSD data to look at college retention and other outcomes! https://laeri.luskin.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2022/12/LAERITwelfthGradeMathandCollegeAccessReport121522.pdf
I'm venturing out into the world of op-eds and high school math wars! We argue algebra *needs* data science... but data science also needs algebra!

Don’t force a false choice between algebra and data science
Students who don't take Algebra 2 because they're more interested in data science could be shutting themselves off careers in science, technology engineering and math. But data science and Algebra 2 complement each other and should be taught in concert.
Matt Slocombe📢 📢 Delighted to announce that the Analogical Minds Seminar is returning next week with a new series of talks on analogical processes in cognition and learning.
Over the spring term, we’ll be covering topics such as reasoning, language, development, conceptual blending, mathematics, design, and science education. Click on the image below for the full spring programme.

I needed a citation for the idea that "data = model + error" is an important idea in #statistics so I asked #ChatGPT and it told me that it's a fundamental idea! HA! Is there a way to cite #ChatGPT as a source?
(This feels like WAY back when people weren't sure we could cite #Wikipedia as a reputable source.)
