In this episode, we explore the role of a decision scientist and how it's related to data science with Anand Ramanathan, Decision Scientist at Meta. We will contrast data science research with roles in the industry to point out both strengths of each as well as differences between them. We'll unravel the skills required to be successful, the opportunities, and then also the challenges.

Anand has a fascinating background with a PhD in physics from the University of Maryland and more than a decade of experience as a physicist at both NIST and NASA before embarking on a career as a data scientist.
