A list of women doing great data things on Twitter (started here: http://simplystatistics.org/2014/09/09/a-non-comprehensive-list-of-awesome-female-data-people-on-twitter/)
I was just talking to a student who mentioned she didn't know Jenny Bryan was on Twitter. She is and she is an awesome person to follow. I also realized that I hadn't seen a good list of women on Twitter who do stats/data. So I thought I'd make one. This list is what I could make in 15 minutes based on my own feed and will, with 100% certainty, miss really people. Can you please add them in the comments and I'll update the list?
@JennyBryan (Jenny Bryan) statistics professor at UBC, teaching a great intro to data science class right now. @hspter (Hilary Parker) data analyst at Etsy (former Hopkins grad student!) and co-creator (I think) of #rcatladies, also wrote this nice post on writing an R package from scratch @acfrazee (Alyssa Frazee) Ph.D. student at Hopkins, writes a great blog on data stuff, works on statistical genomics @emsweene57 (Elizabeth Sweeney) - Hopkins Ph.D. student, developer of methods for neuroimaging. @hmason (Hilary Mason) - currently running one of my favorite startups Fast Forward Labs, but basically needs no introduction, one of the biggest names in data science right now. @sherrirose (Sherri Rose) - former Hopkins postdoc, now at Harvard.
