With all the changes that have taken place in the las couple of weeks, I was thinking of the support that we can provide to each other while keeping to the new ways of working around us. Working from home is nothing new for some, but not for many. Socialising is an important part of the human experience.
I therefore thought of putting an open invite for a virtual coffee to the data science/physics/maths community dealing with the new ways of working, business, mental health and general stuff:
The response was great and I promptly created a new page in this site dedicated to some information for the new Jackalope Data Science Community. The first call took place on March 26th, 6.30pm via Meet. There were about 12 attendees mainly from the UK, with some from Cyprus, the US and other places around the world.
It was great to see so many friends there and the chat ranged from how to distinguish between weekdays and weekends these days, to how we are coping with working from home and how companies and businesses are reacting. It was entertaining, and personally I found it very useful.
We are planning to get together again in a couple of weeks. If you are interested to join us and learn more the Jackalope Data Science Community, get in touch.
