The next wave: We will all be data scientists

摘要

In the next wave of educating future data scientists, we need to think of all undergraduate students, regardless of background or major, as future data scientists. We should train them in supportive, interdisciplinary environments. Starting from their first day at college, they should be given the opportunity to apply powerful tools to large data sets, using real‐world problems. Partnerships with research computing, academic departments, research centers, companies, government, and nonprofits will all be necessary to fully prepare these students for the breadth of the data science workforce.
