• How simulated bots can solve any problem [9:07]

• Practical uses of simulated data [21:49]

• Why the mobile operating system language Swift is interesting for A.I. [25:46]

• Why it's critical to track the amount of junk in space [35:47]

• Whether programming or statistical skills are more important in data science [47:05]

• What it’s like creating video games in a "secret" games lab [56:45]

• Why you might want to do a data science internship in industry before pursuing in academia [ 1:01:54]
