Data scientist MINDSETS podcast
By highlighting diverse career pathways, the Data science MINDSETS podcast demonstrates that achieving in a data science career is not a 'one-size-fits-all' pursuit.
The data science community is composed of a highly interdisciplinary and diverse group of people with various disciplinary backgrounds, professional and personal experiences.
We’ll inspire knowledge and learning about data science that is responsible and inclusive. We’ll highlight the breadth, depth, and impact of data science as a cross-disciplinary field. Importantly, we want to create a feeling of belonging for everyone at UM who is working, studying or interested in data science.
