Random Chats About Data

Random Chats About Data are in person events only. Through conversations and discussions we broaden our understanding of a data analysis topic. Talking about the big concepts as well as the nuances gives insight on how to apply these bigger ideas to our own data project. You will get comfortable with detailed aspects of data analysis. Please come prepared to talk about your own specific data questions.
