Data science faces many challenges in the traditional academic setting. At the same time, many research fields are becoming increasingly dependent on data science tools and techniques. A key element in tackling these challenges is the education of a new generation of researchers that are fluent in both their research domain and in data science methodologies. In this post, we discuss an immersive approach to training in data science, the University of Washington eScience Institute's inaugural Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) program.
