Join us this Friday, April 3rd at 3pm exclusively on zoom for the next meeting of the Stats and ML Journal Club. This week, Sean McLaughlin (me) will be leading a discussion on a slightly different topic, an introduction to data structures. It will be very useful prep for any future technical interview you may have on the horizon, but I also promise there will be something in there that will make your code faster regardless!
