🍭 A Spoonful of Sugar
We do not mean to be saccharine
Welcome to the eighty fourth ever issue of Monday Morning Data Science from the Fred Hutch Data Science Laboratory. We are excited to show you what we have been working on (Fresh from the Lab), plus links that we think you would be interested in (Our Weekly Bookmarks Bar). Part of the purpose of this newsletter is to start conversations, so if you have a question or there is something you would like to share with us please let us know by responding directly to this email.
Fresh from the Lab
[Blog Post: PROOF v1.1 Release] We released PROOF v1.1, which addresses usability issues and adds features. Key updates include new visualization tabs for easier analysis display, persistent login to avoid re-authentication, and an updated default scratch directory for the Fred Hutch cluster. These improvements are aimed at streamlining the user experience and enhancing functionality for data analysis workflows.
Our Weekly Bookmarks Bar
[Podcast: Change, Technically] We have been enthusiastically listening to this wonderful podcast by Ashley Juavinett and Cat Hicks exploring the disconnect between engineering managers and developers. They emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary thinking and non-technical skills, such as communication and empathy, in creating effective software teams. The conversation challenges traditional hiring and evaluation practices, advocating for a broader understanding of intelligence and problem-solving abilities that can benefit technical work.
As always you can contact us by replying directly to this email, you can contact the Data Science Lab at data@fredhutch.org, or you are welcome to join us on the Fred Hutch Data Slack Workspace.
