This work builds on earlier collaboration and continues to center SRFN’s leadership in wildfire resilience planning. 1155

Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 29/02/2024If the Toronto Eglinton LRT takes any longer it's going to get decommissioned before it even gets used. Just like it's sidewalks toronto.citynews.ca/2024/02/27/e... #transit 020
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 28/02/2024Spain potentially banning short haul flights when trains are available is a fantastic way to combat emissions. How I wish Canada had a similar train network #urbanism fortune-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/fortune.... 010
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 20/02/2024Death by data – can there be too much of a good thing? I’ve heard it said before for famous musicians, it is not about the notes that they do play, but the notes that they don’t. The same is true about data. 100

Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 09/02/2024Time Warp: Academia vs. Corporate Hustle My biggest shift switching from #academia to a company? The value of time. Same hustle, but undefined hours to billable ones changed how I think about time. 240
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 06/02/2024Busting myths from leaving academia to a corporate world. Going from a post-doc in ecology to a job in data science, there were many myths floating around that were discouraging. But, once I had a bit of time outside, I realized how so many of these myths were false. 100
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 05/02/2024Data analyst, data scientist, or data engineer. Which should you choose? Titles vary a lot between jobs, and there are no official rules that are tied to each. In some, especially smaller companies, you might be expected to fill all three roles. But what do these roles generally look like? 000
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 02/02/2024Startup, established company, or FAANG+. Where should you apply? Finding your perfect fit is crucial. Initially, I explored all three options without much selectivity, but hindsight taught me the importance of being picky. Where you work matters more than your job title. 100
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 01/02/2024So you’re leaving academia. Where do you start? Well to begin, I think you should Marie Kondo your academic experience. Take a look at your day-to-day activities and ask “Does this spark joy?”. 100
Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @afilazzola.bsky.social · 01/02/2024New on here, so I'd like to introduce myself! I’m Alex and two years ago I made the jump from a post-doc in ecology to a corporate data science job. I love that I made this jump, but at the time, there was a lot of uncertainty. I wanted to join the chorus of others on socials to share my thoughts 140
