We're Going Back to Basics! 🏫
This month, we're learning the basics of networking and KNIME
September is a special month for BlackTIDES. When we first started, we didn’t have a name and this is the month back in 2020 when we came up with it and the rest is history. Shout out to Dr. Brandeis Marshall (adviser) for reminding us not to forget about the social sciences in our mission to make data careers and community more accessible for Black professionals. That’s how we ended up serving technology, informatics, data science, epidemiology, and social sciences!!
For our friends in academia, happy back to school activities. Hopefully, you’ve gotten accustomed to this semester or quarter’s schedule. We’re trying to keep up with you and this month we have not one, but TWO events coming your way already. It’s a Black lady highlights month!
Chemist, Informaticist, Educator, and overall renaissance woman who also designed the image above, Kimberly Deas, is coming back to teach you about KNIME. If you’re interested in no and low-code data analytics and chemical informatics technical options, sign up and hop on with her on September 27, 2023 at 6:00 pm US ET!
On the next day, we have our first mentorship event of the season led by the resident data science lead, Lauren Shores. Lauren’s background combines the retail industry with data and you’ll learn about different ways to effectively network; a lesson valuable beyond the scope of our data world! Meet Lauren on September 28, 2023 at 6:30 pm US ET.
