First talk Outline :
** Data Science Blogging 101 **
It doesn't matter what point you're at in your data career, success hinges on your communication skills. After spending hours diving into complicated datasets, sharing your insights and recommendations is fundamental.
In this session, I will share my strategy to practice and hone my writing skills: blogging. We will look into (the many) reasons to do it and what it looks like in practice. I want you to leave the session motivated to start contributing your pieces to the community of data professionals.
