15 Years of Data Science in NYC by Jared Lander
Visit rstats.ai for information on upcoming conferences.
Abstract: Back when the meetup got started in 2009, data science wasn't even a thing yet, we called ourselves statisticians or analysts. Within a few short years Columbia had its first data science course, there were multiple data meetups, all with different names and an unofficial data mafia. Come take a look at the New York data community and how it evolved throughout the past 15 years.
