Pandas has become very popular for its ease of use. It has very intuitive methods to perform common analytical tasks and data pre-processing. \n",

+        "Pandas loads all of the data into memory on a single machine (one node) for rapid execution. This works well when dealing with small-scale datasets. However, many projects involve datasets that can grow too big to fit in memory. These use cases generally require the usage of parallel data processing frameworks such as Apache Beam.\n",
