When trying to import the seaborn package I get the below error.

The package is installed in my environment. Initially installed using conda install seaborn. After that didnt work I followed this method specified here https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-seaborn-on-macos/

Any help would be greatly appreciated all other packages tried work fine.

The issue appears to be that seaborn is being loaded from outside the environment and therefore has different dynamic library links. There is advice in this post on how to isolate environments, ranging from deleting user-level sites to enabling isolation on a per-environment basis.

Also, be sure that seaborn is actually installed in the environment itself (i.e., check conda list -n TU_working_with_data seaborn).
