SHUTDOWN NOTICE: I'm planning on decommissioning the dataplatform.social server on March 31.

The server currently has less than 30 active users (with activity in the last month) and even though I've cost-optimized the operation, it still comes down to a relatively large amount of money per account.

Add to that the work of staying on top of patches, and it's just not worth the effort for me.

We are about to announce the schedule for Retro Data Alpha!

Before we do here are some reflections on the response to our CFS. The short version is we had an amazing response! The quality of response has given us lots to think about for future events:

Reflections on evaluating Retro Data call for speakers

We have just completed the evaluation process for Retro Data

Hi friends! My daughter is researching #CRISPR for A-level coursework & hopes to study #Biochemistry at uni. She’s gathering some data on public opinion, can you help by taking her survey? If you haven't heard of CRISPR your opinion still counts! Diolch! http://bit.ly/3PWbVOR
'I ba raddau mae datblygiad pellach o dechnoleg CRISPR-Cas yn foesegol?' 'To what extent is the further development of CRISPR-Cas technology ethical?'

Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc

I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics

I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.

I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx

Please boost 😀

My running progress continues...it's time for a #HalfMarathon!

After running a 10k for Cancer Research in July, I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon in October on behalf of Mind to fight #MentalHealth.

It would be awesome if you would consider sponsoring me!
