David Robinson, a data scientist at Stack Overflow, joins Hugo to speak about the evolving importance of citizen data science and a future in which data literacy is considered a necessary skill to navigate the world, similar to literacy today. We'll speak about many of Dave projects, including his analysis of Trump's tweets that demonstrated the stark contrast between Trump's own tweets and those of his PR machine. We'll also speak about ways for journalists, software engineers, scientists and all walks of life to get up and running doing data science and analysis.

Maelle Salmon, a data scientist who has worked in public health, both in infectious disease and environmental epidemiology, joins Hugo for a chat about the role of data science, statistics and data management in researching the health effects of air pollution and urbanization. In the process, we'll dive into the continual need for open source toolbox development, open data, knowledge organisation and diversity in this emerging discipline.

Hilary Mason talks about the past, present, and future of data science with Hugo. Hilary is the VP of Research at Cloudera Fast Forward, a machine intelligence research company, and the data scientist in residence at Accel. If you want to hear about where data science has come from, where it is now, and the direction it's heading, you've come to the right place. Along the way, we'll delve into the ethics of machine learning, the challenges of AI, automation and the roles of humanity and empathy in data science.
