Dear friends,

Welcome to the fortieth edition of the Sunday Briefing. Just a dozen more before we can celebrate our first anniversary! 

This week we shift gears slightly to look more deeply at an often overlooked skill in your data science toolkit, visualization. We start with an overview on how to produce good and informative maps in ArcGIS latest blog post, Mapping coronavirus, responsibly a look at Sorting Networks and other more Unique Visualizations and a finally framework for Data visualization literacy. 

We also have some mathematics book recommendations for the adventurous self-learner, a survey of Mobility Analyses, a look at the Emerging Landscape of Explainable AI and answer the age old question of How To Avoid Being Eaten By a Grue in an academic paper analysis exploration strategies.

Furthermore, we kindly remind you that we are putting together a free full day tutorial on March 7 and would love to see you there. The topic is  Time Series Modeling: ML and Deep Learning Approaches with Python and it will be hosted by good folks over at the NYC offices of Farfetch  and organized by the new NYC URGs and Allies in Data Science Meetup and NYC PyLadies.

Finally, in the video of the week we take a deep dive into Python Data Visualization With Bokeh, a powerful Python based package for interactive web visualizations.
