A CALL TO ACTION IN DATA SCIENCE AND ANALYTICS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION 

On Thursday, March 24, 12:00 p.m., in Redfield Auditorium, Peter Fox, Professor of Earth and Environmental Science, Computer Science and Cognitive Science at RPI, offers a look into his data science, assessed and framed in terms of the anatomy and physiology of a data scientist; quite literally the "body" parts and functions, and the function of the "body," or the data scientist as-a-whole. His presentation will offer a perspective from recent and new research projects with marine scientists and a perspective from developing data science education programs. The conclusion to be discussed is that data science must become embedded in all degree and continuing programs, lest it be misconstrued as a separate discipline. Ideas and experience on how this embedding may be accomplished are also offered for discussion. 

This talk is sponsored by the MBLWHOI Library and the WHOI Ocean Informatics Working Group.
