I'm hanging out at the University of Washington Data Science Summit today and tomorrow. The keynote talk by Jevin West was excellent. I encourage anyone interested in #datascience and #science more generally to check out the the materials for his class Calling Bullshit: http://callingbullshit.org
question for fellow #academics out there: How do you feel about signed peer review? My senior colleagues all recoil in horror at the mere suggestion, but I've seen enough unprofessional comments in peer reviews that I'm inclined to think it might be a good idea. Retaliation is a serious concern, though.
Hello fellow #astronomers and #datascientists ! Where are you all hiding?
#introductions Hi, I'm an astronomer and data scientist at the University of Washington. I work on statistical methods for astronomy, including black holes, asteroids and the sun. I also play harp and take pictures of things (mostly waterfalls and squirrels).
