As it grew nearer to the fall season my heart and mind grew heavier. This was the first birthday and holiday gatherings without grandma. I became distant from everything outside of my family and work, and knew I had to get out of this emotional funk. The 2017 Women in Statistics and Data Science conference brought together hundreds of data scientists and statisticians from all walks of life in an intimate setting to share their personal and professional experiences.

Stay tuned in 2018 for the R-Ladies NYC blog, which will feature guest bloggers from the R-Ladies NYC community. Interested in writing a blog post? Contact us at nyc@rladies.org.
