What we’re about
We are the North East Data Scientists, and we love all things data!
We are an inclusive community which meets four times a year to listen to talks from data innovators, experts, and enthusiasts, as well as to learn about the latest data science tools and technologies with hands-on-workshops!
All our events are free-to-attend, and are a great opportunity to network with like-minded data professionals, software developers, students, engineers, and entrepreneurs. We meet in the TusPark building in Newcastle upon Tyne.
A selection of slides from previous talks are available at: jumpingrivers.github.io/neds-meetup-2022/.
Want to contact the organisational team? Get in touch with us via neds@jumpingrivers.com.
We are sponsored by:
• Jumping Rivers, an analytics company whose passion is data and machine learning.
• The R Consortium
This is a joint meet-up with the R North East User Group.

Automated reporting with Quarto
As data scientists we often need to communicate conclusions drawn from data. Additionally, as more data is collected, our reports invariably need updating. Quarto is an open-source publishing tool that allows you to weave together text and code to produce reports that can be updated with the click of a button. With Quarto you can create dynamic content with Python, R, Julia, and Observable. This workshop will provide an introduction to Quarto with Python and you will leave with the ability to create your own fully reproducible reports.This workshop will take you through:
- creating documents using Markdown syntax
- embedding executable Python code into reports
- dynamically embedding plots and tables
- generating reports in multiple formats including HTML, PDF and even presentation slides
To get the most out of the workshop, please bring along a laptop. No previous experience in Quarto or Markdown is necessary. Basic familiarity with Python will be useful but not essential. The workshop will be run using a virtual environment with all the dependencies and libraries pre-installed.
NB Our meetup talks and workshops are now separate meetup.com events, and as such should be RSVP'd to separately. This event is for our September workshop. If you would also like to attend our September talks, please remember to RSVP to the talks event! Thanks!

Creating Calm in the Chaos
How do you govern data in a fledgling startup, when working in a highly regulated environment? TREAT-NMD are a small global start up working with over 35+ countries in the highly regulated world of medical data and clinical trials, find out the journey they are taking to keep it fast paced but compliant.

Why you shouldn't buy my book
I co-wrote a book - Efficient R Programming, several years ago. The question I recently posed myself was after all these years, should people still buy the book? This talk will answer that question.
