Today was the 3rd day of the data science summer camp I co-direct for middle school students. Please enjoy this manatee skeleton on display at the Museum of Biological Diversity. Now excuse me while I take a nap.

Today we took our annual spring break day trip to Cleveland. Highly recommend the Museum of Natural History where you can still see taxidermied Balto. If you head over to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo you can see statues of Balto and Togo (the real hero dog).
