In our last #ThursdayTipsandTricks we showed how you can create lists with one line of code using list comprehensions in #Python. Well you can also create dictionaries and sets using a similar syntax! We think comprehensions are pretty handy:

Did you know our student organization began in 2016? The 2017-2018 Girls Who Code Club was our first official programming. And turns out we joined Twitter a year ago today! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Our final group examined different groups' awareness about knowledge of food from different cultures, and how it varied with factors like household income and education level.

We also had a group look at the prevalence of different visual impairments in the US, and how it varied with different demographics. Interestingly, they saw an increase in eye diseases in North Dakota compared to other states! Along with many results about age, sex, and race.

This group looked at trends in music over the last few decades, including how factors like danceability, speechiness, energy, and liveness of music affect its popularity. They saw a sharp change in many of these factors around 2010, when music consumption became mainly digitized!

Another group found TWO datasets about vehicle crashes, one for general crashes, and one specific to Tesla crashes. They examined the locations, weather, driver demographics, and speed of various crashes to look at what had the greatest effect on survival.

Our third group found a dataset all about Tuberculosis. They chronicled the process of cleaning their dataset to remove many duplicate entries, so they could eventually examine the prevalence of multidrug resistance of TB in different populations.
