What’s the Data Science Community Newsletter?
The Data Science Community Newsletter (DCSN) is a witty, informative weekly newsletter launched in 2015 and wholly supported by the Academic Data Science Alliance. It is written by Laura Norén and curated by Brad Stenger.
The DSCN covers academic data science research and institution building, open science efforts, government funding of (data) science, key industry stories highlighting applications of data science and ethical missteps. We also provide a list of events and conferences, calls for papers, a tweet of the week, a data visualization of the week, and job postings.
Who are Laura and Brad?
Laura Norén is the voice behind the newsletter. She is currently VP of Privacy and Trust at Obsidian Security, a Visiting Scholar at NYU’s Center for Data Science, and a Visiting Scholar at UC-Berkeley’s Division of Data Science. She holds a PhD in Sociology from NYU, undergrad degrees from MIT, and is broadly interested in the sociotechnical impacts of applied data science.
Brad Stenger is the ring master of the technical machinery that sources all the DSCN content from the far reaches of the internet. His information discovery and curation stack is what allows us to hit the breadth of coverage while maintaining clear focus on the topics that interest our readers. Besides newsletters, Brad enjoys hacking his Garmin and researching wearable technology.
