The DSC Weekly newsletter normally covers trends or practices in the data science and AI field. Still, every couple of months, the editorial team will also write a newsletter issue such as this one specifically for writers. If you write regularly, these may contain new or changing information, while if you aren’t a writer yet, but you’d like to be, this is a good reference to check.
