🌟 DSFSI Logo Update + We’re Now on BlueSky!
📣 A New Look, A Sharpened Vision
Since our founding in 2018, the Data Science for Social Impact (DSFSI) group has grown into a vibrant collective of researchers, students, and collaborators dedicated to using data science and AI to advance the public good.
Our original logo, bold and energetic, represented our early ambition — and we’ll always hold it as a symbol of our foundation.
Today, we’re excited to share a new visual identity:
A refreshed logo that centers the values that guide our work every day:
💡 Community and Collaboration
🤝 Shared Responsibility
🧭 Integrity and Openness
✊ Agency
💞 Generosity
The new logo captures the interconnectedness of our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.
As we continue to lead impactful work in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data science for the public good, this new look symbolizes our evolution and alignment with purpose.
