“...As humans, we’re prone to fool ourselves… the good news is we can learn to use scientific reasoning and methods to counteract this constant tendency.”

Welcome, and welcome back to the Data Science Education Podcast! We’re thrilled to be back and equally as thrilled to have you listening with us again.

We’re kicking off Season 4 by speaking with Dr. Julia Koschinsky, the executive director of the Center for Spatial Data Science at the University of Chicago. In this episode, she discusses what spatial data science is and how UChicago is incorporating it into their curriculum. She also delves deep into the ideas of scientific reasoning and attitude and how UChicago uses them to re-engage their students in the “thrill of discovery.”

“What makes this exciting to me is that’s about changing the way we think about teaching data science, including spatial data science.”
