Good morning!
Welcome to the thirty first 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
[Event: R User Group] Wednesday 6/7 at 1pm the monthly R User Group will be meeting in the Arnold building in M1-B406 and online only on Teams. If you would like to talk about an R subject that you are interested please let Sean know so that the Data Science Lab can support you in future iterations of this event.
[Event: Effective Computing Drop in Hour] Wednesday 6/7 at 2pm the Effective Computing user group will meet again (they meet every other week) in room M1-B406 and here on Teams. The focus is on learning about how to scale up your computing work from your laptop to whatever scale meets your needs. This group is hosted by the Fred Hutch DaSL in collaboration with the Hutch Data Core and Scientific Computing.
Our Weekly Bookmarks Bar
[Book: What are Embeddings?] We are excited to read Vicky Boykis’ new book about one of the fundamental abstractions of the large language model era we are living through.
As always you can contact us by replying directly to this email, you can email Jeff Leek, Amy Paguirigan, and Sean Kross at data@fredhutch.org, or you are welcome to join us on the Fred Hutch Data Slack Workspace.
