A review of the data science community at Tufts with strategic recommendations
Over the course of nine months I interviewed upwards of 40 faculty and staff across the university, trying to establish a picture of what “data science” (that slipperiest of terms) looked like at Tufts. My report, which you can find here outlined both the current state of data science ecosystem and synthesized recommendations from the interviewees about how it could be improved.
