Dear friends,
Welcome to the 122nd issue of the Sunday Briefing.

Our hiatus from blogging continues but you can catch up on our recent blog posts. In the G4Sci substack we just published Preferential Attachment and the Barabási-Albert model: The idea that started a scientific revolution where we finalize our exploration of some of the most fundamental theoretical models of networks while over at the V4Sci substack you’ll find Geographical Maps with Cartopy: The US Airline Network where we introduce some of the amazing functionality of Cartopy.

Tomorrow we have the next edition of the Deep Learning for Everyone webinar. There’s a few slots left so don’t forget to register so you don’t miss out.

This week we start with a Brief History of Markov Chains, Journey to Define Dimension and learn about the First Rule of Machine Learning: Start without Machine Learning.

From the halls of academia we explore Gender inequities in the online dissemination of scholars’ work, an Atlas of Urban Scaling Laws and Betweenness centrality in dense spatial networks.

Finally, this weeks ‘Data Science Book ’ highlight is “Fundamentals of Data visualization” by C. O. Wilke. As always you can find all the previous book recommendations on our website. In the video of the week we have a tutorial on How to Automate Tasks for Beginners.

Data shows that the best way for a newsletter to grow is by word of mouth, so if you think one of your friends or colleagues would enjoy this newsletter, just go ahead and forward this email to them. This will help us spread the word!

Semper discentes,

The D4S Team
