How DALL-E sees our data club
Some materials for the lunchtime (?) data club, an informal weekly/fortnightly meeting at the University of Nottingham.
Bring people with varied backgrounds together to talk about, unpack, learn about quantitative methods for data
- organising

You can find notes, presentations, and code at the ng-data-club github repository.
You can also check out the github discussion forum for the data club. A good place to share ideas, links, etc.
