New Blog
Rebecca Schroeder wrote about her experience at the 2023 Data Science Leadership Summit in Boston last month. She highlighted two sessions that she found particularly inspiring: Data Science Organizational Structures and Ramps & Pathways to Data Science. One key takeaway was the importance of convening stakeholders across all industries to foster collaboration and broaden participation in data science education. 

New Book
In collaboration with their community, Data Science by Design (DSxD) which was partly supported by a seed grant from ADSA, CDN members Sara Stoudt and Ciera Martinez published a beautiful new book: DSxD Anthology Vol. 2: Our Environment.

The first two chapters are available for free online. One of those chapters names two key angles that can be used to respond to a multidirectional data movement. The first CDN member to respond to this email with the correct answer will receive a FREE copy of the book, along with Vol. 1 The Future of Data Science. 👀 

CDN + DSxD
Join us on Friday, July 7 from 9AM - 10AM PDT / 12 PM - 1PM EDT, for our conversation with DSxD about what it took to publish their new book.

Background: Lauren Ponisio, aka the Queen of Bees, earned a BS and MS degree in Biology from Stanford University. She earned her PhD from the Department of Environmental Science Policy and Management from UC Berkeley and went on to complete a postdoctoral fellowship at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science.

Current Role: Lauren is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Oregon. Her research examines bee-friendly agricultural practices and how forest fires can help maintain pollinator biodiversity. She was recently awarded a fellowship from the Ecological Society of America for her outstanding contributions to research and outreach in her field.
In addition to research and teaching, Lauren is actively involved in designing data science curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate level for UO’s new School of Computer and Data Sciences. Her mission is to promote human diversity in the sciences.

Outside of Work: Lauren enjoys hiking, camping, sailing, and foraging for mushrooms.
