FiveSketches, 2 months ago to design

I did user research on an Agile team for a few years. I tagged ALL observations, not just those about any sprint's key questions.

As the product team evolved its focus, I was able to slice and dice my data to answer questions we hadn't yet formally asked.

Each time, I could leapfrog the first study into informed follow-up studies.

In the long run, extra Time Tagging = Time Saved when starting a new product direction.

I'm excited to announce a new publication by Lisa Borrelli and myself, out now in Comparative Migration Studies. We challenge our peers to be more precise with how we describe immigrants and their descendants, criticizing in particular the terms 'second generation' and 'migration background'. @sociology #immigration #terminology #quantitative #ethnicity

The world's first #quantitative measurement at this scale of gas flows and their structures of a nearby supermassive black hole in all phase gases, including #plasma, #atomic, and #molecular. Such high resolution allowed the team to team to capture the accretion flow heading towards the supermassive black hole

#introduction I'm a Post-doc working on mathematical and statistical model of malaria and COVID-19. I was actually trained as field marine ecologist, and only started picking up on my quantitative skills during my PhD in 2016, in which I drifted towards #infectious disease. Nevertheless, I love both #epidemiology and #ecology word, and hope to contribute to both domains using my #computational and #quantitative skills. I am #rstats enthusiast, but also speak #python and #cpp if I have to 😅
