Hi Reader,

I’m so pleased to share with you my first podcast interview! In this episode of the “Ken’s Nearest Neighbors” podcast, we discuss:

🎓 How I went from being unfamiliar with the term “data science” to teaching it in less than a year

🧘‍♂️ How I overcame personal challenges through self-work

⏱️ What it’s like to be a full-time content creator in 2023

…and so much more. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

👉 Tip #15: How to keep up with AI & Data Science

Do you find it hard to keep up with what’s going on in the world of AI & Data Science? I know I do!

The reality is that our field is now hotter than ever! 🔥 But that also makes it impossible to stay up-to-date with the latest news, tools, and resources.

My solution is simple: Find the best sources of information, and ignore everything else.

Social media can be a great source of information, but it’s too hard to weed through all of the noise without getting distracted or overwhelmed. 😕

Instead, I recommend subscribing to a few select newsletters that have done the work of sifting and sorting for you!

Here are the two best newsletters that I read each week:

1. The Batch from DeepLearning.AI​

Every issue starts with a thoughtful and timely letter from Andrew Ng, the legendary founder of Coursera. Then, The Batch summarizes a few AI stories from the week, including their comments on “why it matters” and their reaction to the news.

Here’s what makes it exceptional: The Batch is written by people who truly understand and care about the field of AI, and insist that AI advancements occur in an ethical fashion.

2. Data Elixir​

Every issue of Data Elixir links to a handful of high-quality tools, tutorials, opinion pieces, and news articles from the world of Data Science.

Data Elixir stands out because the curation is top-notch, and because each link includes a helpful summary so that you can easily decide which articles might be of interest to you.

See you next Tuesday, and have a great week! 🙌
