Been getting questions about what *exactly* we mean when we say abortion is still legal in Virginia. Great question -- you deserve to know your rights... ๐Ÿงต
Abortion is legal in Virginia. Abortion will stay legal in Virginia so long as we remember that abortion rights are always on the ballot in Virginia.

It feels great when our efforts are rewarded. With a new more extensive rebuttal format this time around, we had a grueling conference season but very happy to share that we have 4 accepted papers at #NeurIPS2021. Congratulations to all my students/collaborators. Details ๐Ÿ‘‡ [1/n]

Some napkin math on Youngkinโ€™s education โ€œplanโ€: There are ~100,000 public school teachers in Virginia. $100M is $1,000 per. Thatโ€™s not a raise. Itโ€™s not even inflation. #FundOurSchools ๐Ÿ“š โ€“ at Charlottesville, VA

That's part of why I wrote up those mini project ideas this morning! It's nice to have small, but super concrete wins along the way. (Though my examples ref #rstats, I can't imagine the ideas wouldn't worth for #Python, esp since it's not code-driven) maraaverick.rbind.io/2018/06โ€ฆ
