Stay up to date with examples using the penguins dataset
This week’s #TidyTuesday subject is a study of 342 observations of Antarctic penguins on the Palmer Archipelago.

Data Science Concepts, is a pocket guide to building the things that data scientists build. It opens with a 49 minute video, Data Science for Absolutely Everyone from his days building these materials in 2016 with Microsoft. As amazing as it is, there are only five questions that machine learning can answer:
