I was surprised at this, since I figured my follower base would lean toward beginner since I focus on Data Science learning.

However, I know a lot of PhDs are transitioning from academia into data science, so even though my followership is highly educated, they may be relatively new to data science-specific skills.

Also, of course it could be a bias in the survey – those that are in academia may be more inclined to fill out a long questionnaire, may spend more time on twitter and more likely to see the tweets, or other underlying correlation that makes the data lean toward high education! :)
