<p>We’re delighted to announce that <strong>Julia Silge</strong> will be joining us on 7 November in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://earlconf.com/2018/seattle/" target="_blank">Seattle</a> as our Keynote speaker.</p>
<p>Julia is a Data Scientist at Stack Overflow, has a PhD in astrophysics and an abiding love for Jane Austen (which we totally understand!). Before moving into Data Science and discovering R, Julia worked in academia and ed tech, and was a NASA Datanaut. She enjoys making beautiful charts, programming in R, text mining, and communicating about technical topics with diverse audiences. In fact, she loves R and text mining so much, she literally wrote the book on it:<br>

<p>We can’t wait to see what Julia has to say in November. </p>
