New York State approved the use of automated speed cameras within a specific range of schools. Tim Schmeier did an analysis of publically available data related to these cameras as part of a project at the\\xa0NYC Data Science Academy. Tim\'s work leverages several open data sets to ask the questions: are the speed cameras succeeding in their intended purpose of increasing public safety near schools? What he found using open data may surprise you.

You can read Tim\'s write up titled\\xa0Speed Cameras: Revenue or Public Safety?\\xa0on the NYC Data Science Academy blog. His original write up, reproducible analysis, and figures are a great compliment to this episode.

For his benevolent recommendation, Tim suggests listeners visit\\xa0Maddie\'s Fund\\xa0- a data driven charity devoted to helping achieve and sustain a no-kill pet nation. And for his self-serving recommendation,\\xa0Tim Schmeier\\xa0will very shortly be on the job market. If you, your employeer, or someone you know is looking for data science talent, you can reach time at his gmail account which is timothy.schmeier at gmail dot com.
