@sharlagelfand @rlbarter Yes, for sure. No slights to CS people, but not everything can be reduced to a graph or a four color problem. Like Nate Silver mentions, data scientists need to be agile, like foxes, and not wedded to a single method, like hedgehogs.On twitter.com

@sharlagelfand @rlbarter One of the solutions is that academic departments need to do is build more partnerships with industry and send their students to work on real data issues. But there's a little too much insularity and insecurity in the field.Permalink On twitter.com

@sharlagelfand @rlbarter We do this in my department by doing internships with known partners. I mostly provide additional support, but the students work with an industry mentor. I've seen students make leaps and bounds in pulling their knowledge together because they had to apply it.Permalink On twitter.com
