PDX Graph Meetup re-starting after long being dormant. Small turnout tonight, but great discussion. I learned more about @Neo4j graph database (@tony_chiboucas) and Quine.io streaming graph (@rrwright). Looking forward to future meetings! meetup.com/pdx-graph-meetup/

Après le succès de notre événement avec @JAlbaUnconf, nous remettons le couvert les 24-25-26/11 prochains ! Deux unconferences s'allient et reforment l'ancienne #JAuldAlliance. Détails et enregistrement sur notre site : jchateau.org/
I love online conferences when I cannot travel. Attended combined @JChateauUnconf and @JAlbaUnconf this morning from #JAuldAlliance. Unconferences work especially well in the online format (blog.crisp.se/2016/08/30/hen…). @SpatialChatTeam worked well as venue.
Excellent explanations for why/when to choose various plotting elements in @ClausWilke (2019) Fundamentals of Data Visualization: A primer on making informative and compelling figures. oreilly.com/library/view/fun… Find his examples of ggplot2 code at github.com/clauswilke/datavi…
Une présentation excellente de @mrabeman au sujet de «Agilité et Liberté: le regard de Montessori Extended» à @atbdx. Pour apprendre à penser par soi-même: la motivation intrinsèque et le contrôle de son apprentissage. agiletourbordeaux.fr/program…

Enjoyed reading @analyticshero's Effective Data Storytelling: How to drive change with data, narrative, and visuals. Second half of the book was especially good. wiley.com/en-us/exportProduc…

My take-aways from @analyticshero's Effective Data Storytelling. (1) Data. Narrative. Visuals. (2) Explain, Enlighten, Engage. (3) Facts must be accompanied by a supporting narrative. (4) Stories beat statistics.
Had a great chat with @elsekramer during @lunchclub's Global Happy Hour re: how to make the world a better place for creative introverts.

For example when faced with a large crowd, I pick one other person who is standing alone and start a conversation with them. This is much easier than standing awkwardly at the edge of a small group.
Insightful discussions at @fow_pdx this evening re: "Reinventing Masculinity at Work" with @edfrauenheim. e.g. flatter, distributed organizations with cross-functional teams require persuasion and collaboration, rather than command-and-control.

The {tidymodels} workshop by @FathomData at @AMLDAfrica 2021 conference was well-organized and very informative. I liked working through two different data sets repeatedly. Thanks, @dataccino, @AbrahamsAmieroh, @datawookie.

I have a better understanding of {tidymodels} after workshop by @dataccino, @AbrahamsAmieroh, and @datawookie. Nice to be able to attend @AMLDAfrica 2021 conference remotely.

"Work Together Anywhere" by @lightling and K. Janene-Nelson goes beyond the boringly obvious discussions in most other #WorkingRemotely books by providing more practical advice and checklists for "individuals, teams, and managers". media.wiley.com/product_data…
