31:Ta2b,md`If 2020 has shown us a clue into the future, it's two perspectives. One, how we visualize the world is rapidly changing. Two, humans need more data, insights, and collaborations to understand how and why the world is changing. Keeping that in mind, I knew it was time for me to make a career pivot. As I was exploring opportunities, I wanted to join a company that aligned with my values of creating impact for all humans. A company that was using technology to create educational opportunities to change the world, a company that valued empathy, inclusion, and creativity. I'm excited to have found that company, [Observable](https://observablehq.com/). In all honestly, I'm both nervous and thrilled to share that I've joined [Observable](https://observablehq.com/) as the Community Manager on the Developer Relations team. >[Observable](https://observablehq.com/) helps you use data to think. Observable lets anyone create magic notebooks — to explore and visualize data, to share code and ideas, to build applications, and much more. It’s not just a notebook; it’s a reactive, live program. You get immediate feedback to accelerate understanding. And above all, it’s a community of people helping each other to learn and discover. I like to think of Observable as the future. The future of how humans will learn, write code, build, collaborate, and make better decisions with data and visualizations—all within the browser. By exploring the [Trending Notebooks on Observablehq.com](https://observablehq.com/explore), you'll see why I'm excited about Observable. Our users have created Notebooks providing data into tracking [Covid-19 cases in the US](https://observablehq.com/@jake-low/covid-19-in-the-u-s), insights into [how songs appear on Spotify](https://observablehq.com/@bartok32/how-long-does-it-take-to-appear-on-spotify-charts), and visualizations, such as this one showing how the [food supply connects to greenhouse gas emission](https://observablehq.com/@illus0r/2020-w16-food-greenhouse-gas-emission-across-supply-chain). Observable works in any browser. We want to bring the power of visualizations to all humans while we work with our existing communities: developers, journalists, teachers, and data scientists. As a "geek/nerd," I'm looking forward to bringing my years of experience in growing communities, storytelling and working with builders to the team at Observable. We are just getting started!
