Today I volunteered at my local zoo, something for which I am very passionate. 🦁


In a literature review written by Stephen Post in The International Journal of Person Centered Medicine (Vol. 1, No. 4, pp. 814-829), it is shown that volunteering can induce a state called “helper’s high”, where volunteers felt a state of euphoria when they began volunteering.


Aristotle once said: “the essence of life is to serve others and do good.”


This had me thinking… this information can also apply to data science as a data scientist’s passion is to do good by solving problems which will hopefully help others.


Happy Learning!!
