“Becoming a Data Scientist” Podcast?
Well, I’m not fully committed yet, because I think I’m imagining I’m going to have a lot more time when I finish grad school than I actually will (or in reality, I’ve already filled up that available time with fun projects I want to do), but this idea keeps nagging at me….
I’ve been listening to a lot of data science podcasts lately, and I think there’s room for another one. And I want to make it. I’m thinking that I would interview people about how they became a data scientist: what their educational background is, what resources they use to keep learning on their own, what tools they use, how they interviewed for data science jobs, what they do now, etc…. maybe it would be a Google Hangout, then I could post both the video and audio-only versions.
I tweeted about this idea and got some good feedback about it. What do you think? Are you interested?
Which data scientists would you most want to learn more about?
P.S. I’m reading the book Data Scientists at Work
