The increasing need for data scientists has prompted universities to explore effective ways to train skilled professionals in this field. Yet, there's no clear agreement on the essential components - like foundational principles, expertise, skills, or knowledge - that constitute data science as an academic discipline. In my seminar, I'll begin by examining the role of academia, especially applied statisticians, in educating future data scientists. Following this, I'll share two or three examples from my research to illustrate the crucial role of statistical thinking in solving real-world problems.

Dr. Irizarry is a Professor of Applied Statistics at Harvard and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He was recently named Chair of the Department of Data Sciences at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is a Professor of Biostatistics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
