I have run out of severance and now I'm running out of savings. It's do or die now, folks. Job offers, job leads, job hunting advice...please send them all my way, and/or boost for reach. Freelancing is on the table, too. Details about me and what I'm looking for, to follow.
Everyone, drop what you are doing - SPURIOUS CORRELATION now has a companion site, SPURIOUS SCHOLAR - that WRITES AN ACADEMIC PAPER based on the spurious correlation! Because "if p < 0.05, why not publish?" 😂
Hello everyone 👋 ! We have been on Mastodon for a while but recently moved instances to hachyderm so wanted to provide an #introduction. We are an international organisation teaching foundational #coding and #DataScience skills to #researchers worldwide. We advocate for #OpenScience#OpenSource practices through workshops using our openly available lessons co-developed by our global community. More information: carpentries.org. Excited to be here; thank you for having us!
The University of Colorado Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is hiring software engineers for science data processing on the Data Systems team. We build satellite borne instruments for studying astrophysics, planetary science, earth science, atmospheric science, and many more disciplines. Data Systems typically does the ground processing of the instrument data from binary packets through to research quality science data products (think netCDF, HDF5, CDF, FITS files). Mostly we use Python but we have some Java systems and C experience is always a plus for making Python faster.
Anybody out there looking for an ML or software engineer with >30 years total experience and ~20 years in the industry?
I have extensive experience with #Python and #ML frameworks, particularly #TensorFlow, and I've worked on #NLP and #ImageProcessing both in the workplace and in personal open source projects. My resume is available here:
Do you consider yourself a data scientist of any variety? Maybe it makes up a bit of your job, maybe it’s all of it, but if you went to school in the UK and can spare quarter of an hour to reflect on a few things it would be hugely appreciated.
Hi folks. Looking for some help. I think I'm going to stop applying for academic positions after several years with zero interviews. I'm now trying to figure out if I can make the switch to data science. Would anyone be willing to volunteer a half an hour of their time for an informational interview? Any other resources are appreciated as well, or thoughts on leaving #academia. Thanks! #DataScience

How Academic Bullying Led This Data Scientist to Open Science.
In her insightful article, @pcmasuzzo shares how she was bullied into producing bad science, how she became fed up with academic culture and what she had to do to rediscover her love for science.
Not sure how I feel about this... but it popped up in my climate change RSS feed and there might be someone here who could do some good with this position? Yale is looking for a Data Scientist, focused on machine learning, "to lead the design, development, and implementation of machine learning models and operations as part of an academic organization devoted to supporting academics and practitioners in climate change research and communication."
Really sorry for the spam, but I'm hosting a #data event soon and I need to fill a bowl with data jokes. I have few but need MANY more. Here's an example of what I'm looking for:
"A query walks into a bar, sees two tables and goes 'can I join these'?"
🙏 PLEASE collective hive-mind of the fediverse, give me your best!
Very happy user of #AlmaLinux in my dayjob and am very honored to have this opportunity to write for their blog! Here's an article of one of the use cases for it. #Linux#DevOps#Jupyter#DataScience
I had no idea at the time how @Posit's conference in 2019 would change my life. Some events are like keyholes that open doors to areas of life you never expected. That is the Posit conference. If you are part of an underrepresented group, apply for a scholarship that includes travel, lodging, and conference costs. Apply by midnight March 22 https://posit.co/blog/posit-conf-2024-announcement/#rstats#python#datascience
We overlay the highway network with a massive, geolocated online social network (Twitter 2012), and measure how social ties are impacted by highway segments. We find a strong barrier effect in all 50 considered US cities. See below - the red squares show that this effect is stronger for short distances.
