On this episode of Would You Data Scientist, Wendy is joined by guest Preriit Souda, Director of Data Science and Strategic Insights at PSA Consultants. Join the discussion on the ethics involved in data science, using and learning the right tools for the job, and encouraging curiosity about data. 


KEY TAKEAWAYS


-As it's a relatively new career, the data science work force has grown from a pool of other careers such as computer science and statistics. You'll find many of the people who got on at the ground floor don't have a traditional route into the field. 

-The difference between a good data scientist and a bad one is their domain knowledge. You may know how to use Python, but a really good data scientist will be diverse in their skillset and what tools and methods they can use. The more tools you know the more qualified you are. 



BEST MOMENTS

‘Be inquisitive about the data'

‘Sometimes the biggest fanciest tools aren't the ones making a change'

‘Life isn't simply in the black and white, it's in the grey'
