Going to #NICAR24? There are still seats available in my Upping your Excel Game class Friday afternoon. Pre-reg/extra fee but soooo worth it! I've been teaching this for almost 20 years & it never fails to blow people away. schedules.ire.org/nicar-2024…

Do you despise data?
Does a spreadsheet of numbers give you a headache?
Does data just not seem to exist for what you’re reporting?
Let’s put that to rest.

Remember that kid you gave a “C” to in your state politics course? He is now in the state legislature and is about to end tenure.

I'll be teaching my Excel "magic" tricks in this session at #IRE23 next month, with help from @byadamrhodes. Class is Saturday morning; 2 hrs. It requires a tad bit extra $ and pre-registration, but I promise it will be worth it!
Christian McDonald retweeted
This is the fellowship program that I mentor/teach for. It's a great op to learn skills, but then also get 6 months of support from a senior fellow like me.
