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!

a note from our CEO

Lillian Pierson, PE

Back in 2013, I traded cubicle walls and stale coffee for the life of a multi-6 figure, remote-working data entrepreneur. Traveling world-wide, to date I’ve trained over 1 MILLION workers on data science, AI, and data strategy. I loveeee supporting my community of 650,000+ followers across LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and on the Data-Mania Newsletter!! 

My passion is helping today’s data professionals transform into data leaders of tomorrow… So that they can deliver more impact, with greater purpose… and enjoy new heights of opportunity.

Oh that – and I’m 💯 obsessed with nitro cold brew coffee, Thai massage, and expat living.
