As a scientist in training one of the main things I’m learning is to tell stories clearly, especially through graphs (also text but I 🫶🏼 graphs) So it was super inspiring to see how she does this at a much greater scale, and how much thought goes into data visualizations for a broad audience.

After a few more sprints between rooms and more great talks, we finished the day with the keynote by @christinezhang.bsky.social, Graphics Editor at The NYT. She’s part of the team behind many of the graphs the NYT times used on election night in 2024. (I was fangirling cuz she is so cool 😅)

At lunch, I made some friends, ate amazing food, and picked up this very-special-edition YETI (I was person #6 to complete the contest and get one lol 🤓)

A big highlight for me was Kristin Bott’s talk, “Hello Robot: Introducing Humans to LLMs,” where she shared her approach to teaching people how to use LLMs, why that kind of guidance matters, and why introducing people to these tools is (ultimately) a very human task.

Right after that, the general sessions started (aka a test on time management and organization skills lol). With four sessions happening simultaneously, each with four speakers, I spent the next few hours sprinting between rooms trying to catch the talks I was most interested in! 🏃🏻‍♀️⏱️

Day 1 of talks at posit::conf(2026) started with keynote speakers @sara-altman.bsky.social and @simonpcouch.com They talked about Posit’s efforts on building AI tools that are correct (trustworthy) while staying convenient (straightforward and intuitive). slides: pos.it/keynote #PositConf2026

This is me!! Currently in the QI course at CSHL… 🔬💡 It’s been 3 days (or 2 weeks??) and I’ve learned that NA means more than “not available,” that Köhler was very into conjugate planes, and that my eyes suck at a level I didn’t know was possible. Very excited for what's coming!! 👩‍💻
