After eight years in St. Louis City, we’re saying goodbye this summer. Next stop: Ithaca, New York!
I’ve been here longer than STL, but I’m also going to make this the end my run on Twitter. If you want, you can find me on Instagram instagram.com/chrisprener?ig… - be well!
Probably should have said this at the outset - this is *not* a technical course. It’s a seminar about how challenges with data impact research, but also create challenges for the increasingly sophisticated AI models many of us use (often unwittingly) on a daily basis.
Hey #StLouis friends! I'm teaching in-person at the @BrownSchool's June Summer Institute. The week long course - Understanding #DataEthics & #ArtificialIntelligence Bias - is open to anyone (and there's a discount for non-profit/gov't folks). Come join! ce.wustl.edu/search/publicCo…

NPR saying what most of us have already come to… my days here are numbered.
John Lansing, NPR CEO, at the @MorningEdition meeting.
NPR says it will de-emphasize Twitter. Aside from the misleading label, NPR says Twitter isn’t used by most Americans; drives little traffic to NPR; and “no longer has the public service relevance that it once had.”
I’m losing it here… anyone have experience counting single parent households in the ACS? There are two tables (B11012 for 2019 on and B25115) plus some variables in DP02. But since 2019, they give different counts and I cannot figure out why…
Currently being interrogated by Miss C about my knowledge of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist 🧐
A broader lesson we’d do well to learn with local St. Louis politics - too much focus on hearts and minds as opposed to deeds.

Bigger than all but two national parks, older than nearly all of them and the national park service, constitutionally protected, and home to >2.6 million acres of public lands. The #Adirondacks are amazing.
While folks are thinking about Justice Thomas's controversial visits to the #Adirondacks, I'll add that, hey, you should visit us too. It's amazing here. Unlikely a billionaire will host you, but camping sites are free, the hiking is great and you'll love our little towns.❤️ 😊🏃♂️
Taking St. Louis vs. errbody to geographic extremes I did not anticipate…
I like that SLPS might be the real winner tonight. A school board committed to public education and a progressive BOA that I hope reigns in TIFs.

Large drop for both St. Louis City and County
The 2022 @uscensusbureau Population Estimates were released last week, giving us county-level information on population change.
These datasets aren't on the Census API, but you can now access them in #rstats through #tidycensus (dev version)

Racism, settler colonialism, and socioeconomic inequality are toxic for all of us
The most disturbing set of data on America that I have encountered in a long time. This transcends politics.
This is especially scary remembering that demographics were the best early warning on the collapse of the USSR.
