-        <br />
-        My philosophy is that if it isn't explainable then you didn't learn anything.  
-        Data without sound methodology is at best meaningless and at worst
-        counterproductive and costly.  
-        Bringing logical transparency and literal deductions back
-        into digital analysis enables us to learn about the world through computing,
-        rather than letting computers make decisions for the world we think we know.  
-        We as data scientists shouldn't just be building heuristics. We should
-        be making discoveries and building new knowledge.
