Hi, just wanted to pass this along, the inaugural meeting of the Bay Area Women in Machine Learning group is happening this Thursday: http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Women-in-Machine-Learning-and-Data-Science/ The organizer of the event attended and taught Noisebridge Machine Learning meetups all the way back to 2010, and I personally know many of the attendees to be very intelligent, successful, and resourceful. It should be a great opportunity for any women interested in data science. mike
