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.
