PythonNW August HER+DataMCR collaboration

Hi Everyone

For our August meetup we are excited to be collaborating with HER+Data MCR to host a series of talks on Python and Data .

HER+DataMCR is a community working to connect, inspire, support and empower the NW UK’s Women in Data through monthly meetups. The scope is intended to be broad to include as many women within STEM as possible while also maintaining a focus on the topic of data - we talk data science, analytics, research, visualisation, software, applications and shared experiences as women in data. Find out more on Meetup (https://meetup.com/HER-Data-MCR) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/herplusdatamcr).
