I’m experimenting with what it would take to start my own bookstore, so for IDWSDS, I curated a list of books by women and for women related to data, statistics, and science.
Any proceeds from this will be donated to my Junior League chapter, specifically our project addressing period poverty.

I wrote a slightly sappy LinkedIn post about seeing friends and faculty from my grad program during #JSM2025 but it was getting a little too personal for me to share it there, so I’m going to think out loud here.

If schools were actually preparing kids for white-collar work they wouldn't be phone-free, you'd have to have your phone on your desk all day for the authenticator apps

This is good. Not “will impact budgets” but “your hospital will close and you will die from cancer that could have been treated.”

There is something foundational in my being that simply reading a book, a letter, this very post, is something people killed to stop from happening. I don't have the words to explain it.
There is a strong case to be made that (almost) all literacy is liberatory (shout out to Dr. Kim Parker's brilliant book).
Certainly in the Black tradition, literacy and liberation are intertwined. And that includes reading and writing along with direct action.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.
