Description

Surprise! I'm releasing a talk that I gave at this year’s SXSW EDU conference. It is my hope that everything I write gives you more confidence talking about data and bringing it into your decision-making. This talk focuses on what we can (and cannot) learn from data and how to use it in our everyday lives. If you've ever wondered what it's like as one of my students at Brown University, here's a peek into that.Want more on pregnancy and parenting?

ParentData makes sense of the latest data about pregnancy and parenting, and, sometimes, COVID-19. It offers numbers and decision-making tools, spreadsheets, statistics, and phrases I claim to invent like “Safety Turducken” and “Situational Fluency.” If this is your jam, you’re in the right place. And I hope that, by listening, you’ll feel more empowered to make your own pregnancy and parenting choices. You can subscribe to the ParentData newsletter at emilyoster.substack.com.
