The world of Data Science is changing in such a rapid pace and into such broad directions that it is impossible to even be informed on every aspect of our interesting work field, let alone use all of these marvelous insights in practice. Therefore, at The Analytics Lab and Cmotions, we focus on the parts of Data Science we can actually use in our daily work, enough innovation there already! But how do we keep ourselves informed, which sources do we find interesting to follow on a regular basis? Not only our work field is very broad, the number of sources to read/listen about it is also huge. Periodically, we exchange our preferred channels with each other. Since many of you might be in the same struggle to keep informed and inspired, we thought this might be interesting to share with you. By no means this is an extensive list, but these are the most common used sources by our Data Science consultants. Enjoy!
Read
- https://medium.com/ – very broad number of topics, ranging from strategy to technical and everything in between
- https://dataelixir.com/ – a curated list of articles on machine learning, data visualization, analytics, and strategy
