Yesterday, we held the fourth edition of our Data Science Hackathon. 1 dataset, 4 DS scenarios. ½ a week to prep. And 12 hours of madness 🤪, coffee ☕️ , sandwiches and pizza 🍕. (And 🗺️ and 📊 and 🐛) Thanks to @univgirona.bsky.social @eurecat.bsky.social @fndvit.bsky.social for sponsoring.

Everything’s ready for tomorrow’s hackathon!! @univgirona.bsky.social @fndvit.bsky.social @eurecat.bsky.social This year’s theme is energy efficiency certifications. mds-hackathon-25-fndvit.vercel.app

you know what most research money goes to? PEOPLE to pay peoples' salaries so they can pay the rent and buy groceries and medicine and maybe some nice, fun things, too this will be devastating for people in every state and territory across the country.

This is insane. There are lots of scientists in the US who are on “soft money”, which means that without government grants, they’re out of jobs. This is how you destroy the best research and development in the world.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Genuinely horrifying. 20 million people receive HIV antiviral treatment from the program annually. Mothers with HIV would transmit it to their infants at birth if not for perinatal antiviral treatment. This should be resumed as soon as possible. Every day of delay means more lives lost.

The way @nytimes.com continues to normalize fascist parties with candid interviews with their voters www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/o... is irresponsible and wholly misguided. Portraying anti-immigrant, anti-LGTBQIA+ rhetoric as acceptable opinion legitimizes discrimination.

Study finds extensive AI use may impair critical thinking among 666 participants, with younger users showing higher dependency. While higher education could counteract negative effects, researchers emphasize the need to balance AI usage with cognitive development. www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15...

Tools are tools. They’re devices to help you perform a task that’s an expression of your ability and expertise. And expertise on a particular field comes from understanding the systems and techniques that govern it —and know then rules and how to break them. A very short rant 🧵

Every class, I ask a team of students to take notes of our conversations —as in the debates and critique sessions we have. They are the “annotation team.” I just read this in last session’s. “Xaquín attempted to draw a world map” The audacity!!!

Every October, I start reviewing and updating my #InformationVisualization class for @univgirona.bsky.social Master's in #DataScience. I usually massage the explanations and data in the @observablehq.com notebooks and refine the lessons with new examples and better explanations. A 🧵

My first truly public lecture in Catalan —as in not just impressionable Uni students, open to a wider audience, and by myself. We talked about why visualization is so relevant in today’s data age: I showed the Datasaurus dozen, historical examples, and how to make honest visuals at @casadeculturagi

L’art i la ciència de la Visualització de Dades de @xocasgv.bsky.social Les dades poden explicar històries. Si tenim dades, tenim la capacitat de generar un impacte.
