191 people entered Iron Viz this year. I wasn’t a finalist, but I’ve still had multiple speaking opportunities because of my submission. The competition might be over, but the real value starts after you hit submit. Read more on my Substack!

I will be passing on this trend, as I couldn't even keep sourdough starter alive last time DIY food raising seemed like a good idea.

U.S. Ag Secretary Rollins said on TV that Americans upset with high egg prices could raise chickens in their backyards: “The silver lining in all of this is how do all of us solve something like this? People are looking around and saying, ‘How can I get a chicken in my back yard?’ It’s awesome!”

Help me write a playbook of best practices for giving data-specific technical workshops or code-heavy talks. This isn't about bashing bad talks, it's about sharing experiences from which we can all learn. We'll all need slightly different things from a learning environment, so let's share. #databs

Have you ever attended a super great OR super terrible data + coding workshop (probably Python, R, shiny, js, etc)? What made it terrible or amazing?

It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (I'll be ok in the end but there will be a lot of silly hijinks and a catchy musical number about butts that I'll find myself singing in the car every day for 2 weeks after)
