AoF 56: 3 Clever Ways to use Storytelling in Data Science w/ Kirk BorneStill struggling to explain data science to non data scientist?

This episode is for you! My guest today teaches you three clever and practical ways to use data storytelling in data science that he uses himself to speak to thousands across the globe.

Kirk is the number one influencer in data science and has been for many years. He’s a professor and former ‘rocket scientist’ at NASA. I got a chance to co-present with him at the Open Data Science conference a few years ago and I really enjoyed how he was able to simplify data science for the layman.

Whether or not you have a data science team, today’s episode is really going to help you understand how to make data science more accessible to non data scientists using the skill of data storytelling to communicate.

Tune into to hear Kirk talks about the importance of tuning in to the story, not algorithm in the data science!

“The other way I like to think about data storytelling is to say that data scientists talk, and they need to be able to talk the walk.” – [16:16] @KirkDBorne
