The lens of reductionism and an overemphasis on engineering becomes an Achilles heel for data science work. Instead, consider a “full stack” tracing from the point of data collection all the way out through inference. measure the subjects’ ability to trust the models’ results. training data”) show the tangible outcomes.

We’ll unpack curiosity as a core attribute of effective data science, look at how that informs process for data science (in contrast to Agile, etc.), and dig into details about where science meets rhetoric in data science. That body of work has much to offer the practice of leading data science teams. ethics in AI.
