<p>I would like to thank Dr. John Quinn and the entire team a the <a target="_blank" href="http://unglobalpulse.org/kampala">UNGP – Kampala</a> for the invitation to speak and for a well organized event.  You can read more about the workshop from this <a target="_blank" href="http://unglobalpulse.org/news/data-science-in-africa-2016">blog post</a> at the <a target="_blank" href="http://unglobalpulse.org/blog">UNGP blog</a>.</p>
<p>It was great meeting a lot of people from academia, industry, non-profits and government who are using Data Science to solve several challenges on the African continent, ranging from health care to agriculture and to sustainable cities. I look forward to attending more events in the future.</p>
