“What can you do with Data? What stories can you tell with Data? … Communication is not a soft skill in the derogatory sense, it is THE skill in some sense.”

In this episode, Sara Stoudt, an Assistant Professor at Bucknell University and co-author of Communicating with Data, discusses the importance of communication in Data Science as an art and a creative medium. She sheds light on how challenging it was for her to describe her process for writing in data analysis, especially as she worked with Berkeley Professor, Deborah Nolan, on publishing their book. Stoudt also elaborates on her perspective towards the Data Science Education community - she marvels at how supportive and open educators are when it comes to the sharing of resources and shares her hopes to engage with students at deeper levels.

“I’m hoping that the future is leading more people into thinking they could find themselves in Data Science, that they could identify as a Data Scientist.”
