Data Scientist recent graduate here and a current entry level data analyst..This video was so informative.

[@pHCrochetStudio]

Thank you for a lovely and informative interview. Your wise words have reached as far as South Africa, I hope one day I will be part of the broader data scientist community in Africa.

Things I appreciate about this Series: 1. The fact that you make it so clear that self taught skills are important. 2. The data feedback cycle has been ignored for too long and that makes for an unsustainable data value chain. The feedback cycle for data will involve data collected from communities coming back to them as decisions after going through strict stop gaps at every possible stakeholder and government level.

[@sallymoyae3203]

Yes,Data feedback is really important especially for public programs

This is a very good interview. It gives me some hope as data analyst. Am currently looking for an opportunity to fully integrate into data science field.

Good insights from Shikoh for demystifying data science. You just made me realize that I am a data scientist in a big way and I could help in developing problem-centered data products.
