The Journey lectures are non-technical talks showcasing the career of a data scientist and describes the twists and turns that make a journey interesting. The format is 40 minutes of presentation followed by a 20 minutes of Q&A with the audience. The journey lecturer is typically introduced by their trainee. We serve a comfort snack chosen by the Journey Lecturer to bring a personal touch to the forum. These lectures serve as professional development resources that are personalized and provides insights into how career decisions happen in real life. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the life and career of your colleague and/or mentor.
