My Third Son's Language Development
We tracked my third son's language development word by word. Here, in plots, is how he learned to speak. Take a look!

The Pyramid and the Spire: Management and Individual Contributer Tracks
Data science has left the era of the Unicorn and entered the era of the team, but that means there is now a whole spectrum of data science jobs. Here is what they do.

SWITRS: Differences in Vehicle Collision Rates by Manufacturer During COVID-19
California was put under a stay-at-home order in March, 2020. Toyota drivers stayed home, Ford drivers did not; why?!

SWITRS: Increase In Traffic Fatalities After COVID-19 Lock Down
California was put under a stay-at-home order in March, 2020. As expected, traffic volume decreased, but what happened to rate of fatal accidents? They skyrocketed!

The Data Science Split:
From Unicorns to Teams
When data science started the job covered everything from setting up databases to running experiments to making models. But finding Unicorns was impossible; something had to give.

Where to Host Public Datasets?
When I released the SWITRS dataset, I had to find a place to host a 5 Gig dataset. Here is what I learned.
