My co-author Rebecca Barter and I are thrilled to announce the online release of our MIT Press book "Veridical Data Science: The Practice of Responsible Data Analysis and Decision Making" (vdsbook.com), an essential source for producing trustworthy data-driven results.

#Eclipse2024 view from California - the best that I could do using my phone and some lens that we kept from the Wyoming 2017 eclipse. Not a total eclipse but still mesmerizing!

Looking forward to present at Caltech Bioengineering Lecture Series later today and meet up with students and faculties. Excited to visit Caltech but definitely not missing the LA driving scene after my Lyft driver almost got us into a serious crash driving 80 miles/hour!
