This week we talk with Michael Kagan. He’s a data scientist at CERN, where physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. It’s Michael’s job to figure out how to use open source machine learning tools like scikit learn and TensorFlow in the pursuit of new particles at the Large Hadron Collider. Amazing!

Make a Difference We started a community for data people who want to find impactful projects and meet collaborators. Check out Data for Democracy, and come hang out with us!

Sponsors! We’d also of course like to thank this week’s sponsors, Data.World and Veera.

Data.World, the social network for data people. Discover and share cool data, connect with interesting people, and work together to solve problems faster at data.world.

Veera is a data synthesis platform that makes working with data easier and more fun. Check out Veera, and go be a data superhero!
