I am new at this #mastodon instance: I'm an architect and PhD on social sciences who studies the commodifications between #cities, #technology and #society in the context of the Urban Studies and I am now pursuing a more data-scientist approach. I've been using #R for some years and I am now starting with #python
I'm looking for people with similar research interests or who can help me improving my skills.
Thanks @cxli for kindly introducing me to this nice ritual.

Carriles bici: la respuesta de las ciudades ante la pandemia https://elpais.com/clima-y-medio-ambiente/2020-10-27/carriles-bici-la-respuesta-de-las-ciudades-ante-la-pandemia.html #coruña
"las cenas, las fiestas, el turismo, la cabalga es muy difícil que vayan a ocurrir. Es un pensamiento peligroso pq si se rebajara muchísimo la curva hasta 100/100.000 casos, se daría el peligro de normalizar la situación como si el virus ya no circulara" https://www.eldiario.es/sociedad/expertos-alertan-situar-navidad-horizonte-repite-error-desescalada-expres-verano_1_6330677.html

Markdown + pandoc, writing articles (+)
I documented my workflow here (finally): https://blog.achintyarao.in/markdown-pandoc-make/
I am a happy #Rstats user, but I have finally started to learn #python #pandas Here I make my first comparison between #pandas and #tidyverse while testing reticulate package to combine both in same document: https://www.carloscamara.es/en/blog/2020/02/08/manipulating-dataframes-in-r-and-python/
Dear @ZENODO_ORG@twitter.com
I love your project but it only lacks a public profile page. Has there been any progress in this long awaited feature? #Zenodo

Can someone recommend me a good introduction to social analysis networks? I'd like to understand its main units of measure so I can better interpret graphs #sna #socialnetworkanalysis
COVID has given us plenty of examples of 1) areas with less resources and precarious jobs were an important contagion focus, and 2) people who have lost everything due to losing their jobs/sources of incomes. Probably a #UBI could help to tackle both problems at a time
While doing so, often most vulnerable collectives (workers, migrants, dependent women...) are often confronted with the perverse dilemma of choosing between keeping their jobs while risking their health or vice-versa. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/08/california-covid-19-central-valley-essential-workers
This experiment where money was given unconditionally to homeless is very similar to those explained by @rcbregman@twitter.com in Utopia for Realists. And so are their positive results. This is one of the main reasons for Universal Basic Income proponents #UBI
