Nuts and bolts of creating a 2-yr data science program, A.S in data science technology. Producing a data science tech. Like EMTs are to doctors. #highimpact2022

Four characteristics of data literacy, read, work with, analyze, communicate. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Morrow, the four levels of analytics, descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive, the process is iterative. Their is no failure, if you learn #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Morrow shows 175,21 0’s a zettabyte, the annual data sphere in 2025. Who cares? And we stink at data literacy. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Next up, Jordan Morrow, show of hands, who got a degree in data analytics? Two, of 25 in the room, go up, yep, we’re beyond our skis. Yep, leads to, too often teaching the tool, not what the data mean. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Final thought from Kirk Borne, we need to focus on the data and what it means, other wise there is no intelligence. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

And on to quantum computing, what will it do for analytics, optimizations never before possible, will be tractable. The trains will run on time. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

It’s about time with Kirk Borne, if he gets the answers right, Jill wins a book. First Q, how many times does Lightning strike the earth per sec? Then eye refresh. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

You are what you certify, Bruciaga #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Introduces the T shape of technology, we have depth and breadth, go deep in a knowledge or app, but know a lot about a lot, certifications indicate the depth. Tools, and professional both important. The CAP, cert analytics professional. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Your data doesn’t suck, you suck. Bruciaga invokes his marine past. We need the data farmer who, reviews, cleans … goes on, farmer, miner, welder - blue collar skills, workforce, that’s how you get through the trough of disillusionment. #highimpact2022

#highimpact2022 Aaron Bruciaga two important years 2030, 2025 - 2030 China will be AI superpower. 2025 US answer to China, we’ll be the superpower? Really, let’s talk about where we are at now. Anyone believe this.

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

#highimpact2022 Aaron Bruciaga tells us data science jobs, grew 3x from 2015, 250k jobs unfilled. Why, what is a data scientist? It’s too hard, typically thought of as grad level. We want gratification now. We need to change mind sets, experience takes time.

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Data sci session, by Jordan Morrow and Aaron Bruciaga, should be stellar. Kick of with what are our issues, contextualization, filling programs, getting instructors, blending techs, two-year degrees, etc. #highimpact2022

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

Time to get the #highimpact2022 tweets rolling. First session for me will be on data science in two-year programs

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

@JasonWilliamsNY I do, doesn’t sort well

Internship ✅
Grad pics ✅
Excited to start the next chapter 🙌🏾 #PhDone

@JohnRYatesIII @asmsnews Nope, just luck. I got COVID roughly nine days after second boost, 4th shot. Different conference. Conferences are excellent spreading events.

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

https://t.co/SDKpGCDoWi - nice work @PhaseGenomics !!

[Todd Smith @finchtalk]

COVID cases rising. Test reporting incomplete. Crowded airport security line. More than half unmasked. What could possibly go wrong?
