Jason Costello | Data Science vs Software, Academia vs Industry

Interested in Data Science? Learn Data Science and Statistics from experts as they cover key topics in the field. The Data & Science podcast focusses on teaching data scientists how to think critically in order to solve data analysis problems across various scientific domains.
 
Jason Costello | Data Science vs Software, Academia vs Industry Jason Costello (Hypervector) describes his (non-trivial) transition from academic research into big tech and then the healthcare industry. He outlines a strategy to find the cool research problems that you get in academia while still delivering value to your company. We then talk about the interface of data science / machine learning and software.
