this is how I discovered DataSF: http://missionlocal.org/2013/09/data-scientist-your-favorite-restaurants-are-filthy/?imm_mid=0b0ec7&cmp=em-strata-na-na-newsltr_20131002_direct
Mike Conover knows data. He’s a senior data scientist at LinkedIn, and has a Ph.D. in complex systems analysis. Conover is also a Mission District resident and self-described foodie.
He recently combined the two interests — data and food — by reviewing San Francisco restaurant’s health scores, which the city now makes available online. Conover then cross-referenced the scores with restaurant review data from Mechanical Turk, helping him determine what particular types of restaurants score better or worse than others.
