Richard Dunks served as a member of the US Army and the intelligence community (IC), where he honed skills that he now uses in his civilian pursuits as a data scientist, trainer, and educator.   He recently caught up with Q McCallum (Senior Content Advisor at Formulatedby, the company behind Data Science Salon) to talk about what his time in the IC taught him about data analysis, having a sense of mission, and what it means to lose trust in data.

Q McCallum (Senior Content Advisor at Formulatedby, the company behind Data Science Salon) met up with Marcello La Rocca, someone who compiled his extensive knowledge of algorithms into a rather hefty book on the topic.  In this episode, the author of Algorithms and Data Structures in Action talks about the study of algorithms, why they're useful, and how he's applied them to oversized datasets.  Marcello closes out with his thoughts on (sometimes, not) using algorithms in tech job interviews.
