Thanks and great suggestion!

Thank-you!

Thanks for sharing and I'm glad we have some of your favourites on there!

Thanks for your kind words on the preprint and for sharing it!

Here's the PDF on GitHub: github.com/ttimbers/10-...

I'll try to fix the arXiv article so that it is there too!

So glad to hear this manuscript is helpful!

Ten simple rules for teaching data science Teaching data science presents unique challenges and opportunities that cannot be fully addressed by simply borrowing pedagogical strategies from its parent disciplines of statistics and computer scie...

What are kids books that introduce statistical thinking? I'm thinking ones aimed at > 5-6 year olds. So not Bayesian Stats for babies type books.

@vancouverrisefc.bsky.social - the UBC Master of Data Science program has opened its called for data science capstone project proposals, we'd love to support women's sports here in Vancouver and work with you! We've worked with the @whitecapsfc.bsky.social in the past and its been fantastic.

The call for UBC Master of Data Science capstone project proposals is open 📢

- Soft deadline is Oct 15th (you get feedback)
- Hard deadline is Nov 30

Screenshot of a quote from a professor about how they are reflecting on their role in an LLM world: "I love this question because it made me both very happy and very sad to think about. So, on some level, what is the actual mission and purpose? Like, why am I a teacher? What am I here for? For these students? That hasn’t changed at all. And I can send you the link to it, but I also looked up, we have, at the [names institution], this graduate profile, our kind of aspirational statement, of what we think all students who have left us with a degree should have. And it includes things like being scholars, they’re knowledgeable and curious, excited by ideas, and conscientious in their efforts to understand the complexities of their communities and the world. And I love that."

Comments and feedback welcome!

Feedback on our new preprint is welcome and appreciated!

Thank-you!

I wish your talk was before the workshop I am giving there, where I am using Pyodide for teaching 😅

I will definitely come to your talk to learn what I can do better next time!

In a week (9/17), I'll be giving a talk at PositConf about WebR/Pyodide for teaching. Curious about how to use R and Python in the browser effectively for teaching? Come learn about how we use it for teaching intro courses at the Fred Hutch Data Science Lab! #datascience #teaching #rstats #python
