Hello! After taking a break from social media at the end of last year, I wanted to reintroduce myself:
I'm a data analyst with a focus on demand planning and forecasting, and I'm looking to advance my career in the field. I also love video games and books, and I'm happy to hear any recommendations.

For this week's Tidy Tuesday, we looked at earthquakes around Mt Vesuvius. I was interested in how many earthquakes were recorded each year, and how that was related to their average Duration Magnitude. I tried to use a dual axis graph for this, but these are generally advised against.

It's been a while, but I wanted to share some visualizations I made for the last few Tidy Tuesdays, though the topics for the last few weeks have been depressing to say the least. First, I have this bar graph showing how science grant terminations are distributed across different categories.

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs
TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

Yesterday I had two very different people tell me, "I thought #TidyTuesday data could only be accessed in R" & they thought the "cleaning script" at the bottom of each data readme was something they would have to run. No & no! The data is just CSV files! And the cleaning is already done! #databs

HEY. I'm looking to chat with professors, teachers, instructors, and educators of all kinds who use #Python in their data-focused courses (stats, analytics, modeling, forecasting, econ, finance, biostats, medical, whatever). Looking to connect py data learners with the data community. Help! #databs

For this week's Tidy Tuesday, we looked at general healthcare data from the United States from 2023 to 2024. This was a really tough dataset to wrap our heads around initially. I have a graph of the Top 10 States with the highest percentage of healthcare workers up to date with the COVID vaccine.

Uncertainty poisoning supply networks, degrading a lot of relationships at once.

So, searching on @bsky.app has felt really unsafe 😰 The "Moderation" settings for images don't seem to help, and many of the words associated with data stuff are also associated with... other... stuff. Anyone have safe search tips or use other tools to interact with bluesky? #databs

Again, nobody is forcing them to put tariffs on bananas, coffee, avocados, or any of the hundreds food/minerals/materials that literally can't be obtained in the US. They could write exemptions for any or all of them. Instead they press the "make groceries more expensive" button.

So, I am 100% certain that having more free time would give my brain the space to do amazing things, but having a full time job means I don't have the time or energy leftover to be that amazing person, AND most of my creative ideas come to me when I'm working, not when I'm idling.
