The road to learning about analytics, statistics and data science is a long and sometimes treacherous path.  The journey is full of moments of pure wonder and amazement, which are often followed (immediately) by confusion and despair.

I’m an Environmental Scientist with a long history of using GIS and have been excited about Statistics and Data Science for years.   On my Data Science journey, I’ve meet a ton of exceptionally talented analysts, but I’ve noticed that they usually have a background in either IT, finance, marketing or biostatistics (probably because that’s where the money is…).

So I’m always surprised and super exited whenever i meet another Enviro/Geo/Earth Scientist/Engineer who’s on the Data Science bandwagon.

And one of these chance meetings just happened while admiring Mt Sturgeon, so we’ve setup this site to share what we learn in an effort to bottle up the enthusiasm and let it brew into something great (or at least have a list of cool things to remember).
