Hello,

We've got something special for you this week: We're proud to announce
the publication of a free new Radar Report. 'Data Jujitsu: The Art of
Turning Data into Product' is authored by DJ Patil. A founding
scientist at LinkedIn where his team pioneered the "People You Know"
feature, Patil coined the term "data scientist" and has since been
instrumental in establishing and codifying the profession. The new
Radar Report offers invaluable information for you and your colleagues.
