Still trying to think of 3 words that describe me for my chi hack night introduction. One of them must be bureaucrat. Innovative bureaucrat? Is that a thing?

If you're struggling with the 6 7 thing, this might help: if Beckett had written Waiting for Godot for Gen Alpha, it might’ve just been called 6 7. You're welcome.

Congrats to my colleagues for receiving gold certification from @BloombergDotOrg's @WhatWorksCities program. This award reflects Chicago's exceptional use of data in running the city. I'm proud of what you've done to move Chicago forward. chicago.gov/city/en/depts/ma…
I'm going to have to remember to try this when we are in the throes of renaming branches. Thanks @allison_horst for pinning / tweeting

Yesterday @chicagosmayor announced that Chicago has been recognized by @BloombergDotOrg as one of 10 new cities to have achieved @WhatWorksCities certification.
Great gov data summit from @CivisAnalytics. Love so many of the comments from @dpatil, especially that data scientists should be trained in ethics. This is absolutely true. #DataForGov
+1 for this quote: "the speed of curiosity". How many times have I had to defend why performance is so critically important? Anyway, I'm enjoying this post from @omnisci about digging into the census undercount by comparing to commercial data. omnisci.com/blog/making-sure…

We're launching a citywide challenge today to see which ward can deliver the biggest increase in Census responses over the next 10 days. The winning ward gets bragging rights and an ice cream delivery for their young people. #GetCounted today at my2020census.gov.
Meet the real hero of my quarantine. I love being stuck at home. I love it more with this label maker and set of sparkle and non sparkle tapes.

We left a playbook. He ignored it.
We created an office to prepare for pandemics. He gutted it.
We had CDC officials in China to detect and contain outbreaks. He pulled them out.
Trump can try and shift blame all he wants, but the fact is his actions left us unprepared.
Trump is blaming Obama, who left office in 2017, for leaving him with “broken tests” for a virus that didn’t exist until 2019. Yes, really. vox.com/2020/4/30/21243117/t…

This is an interesting way to communicate the relative mortality risk presented by #covid19, based on current mortality estimates. #coronavirus #dataviz
