Listen "CCATP #806 — Andrea Jones-Rooy on Being a Data Scientist"

Episode Synopsis

Andrea Jones-Rooy is a data scientist, a standup comedian, _and_ a circus performer. Andrea delves into the realms of data science, its significance, and how it is often misunderstood in mainstream narratives. Andrea begins by reflecting on their journey to becoming a data scientist.

Andrea was a professor of data science at NYU Center for Data Science and they taught an undergraduate course called "Data Science for Everyone". The cool thing is you can watch Andrea teach the same material for free in a video series of the same name: Data Science for Everyone on YouTube.

I watched all 20 episodes, and I have to tell you it was fascinating. I may have gushed just a little bit about how awesome it was.
