Neuroscience From a Data Scientist's Perspective
... or should this have been called data science from a neuroscientist's perspective? Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy this discussion with
Laurie Skelly.
Laurie earned a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience from the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. In her life as a social
neuroscientist, using fMRI to study the neural processes behind empathy and psychopathy, she learned the ropes of zooming in and out between
the macroscopic and the microscopic -- how millions of data points come together to tell us something meaningful about human nature. She's
currently at
Metis Data Science
, an organization that helps people learn the skills of data science to transition in industry.
