If you are in need of quelling the internal turmoil that inevitably comes along when a completist finishes the first season of The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, then we have just the thing! Direct your sights on DATA SCIENCE! Come again? Join Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D *insert Law & Order gavel sound effects here for dramatic effect* TOMORROW at Caveat for the “ALL-TIME BEST one hour, one person comedy and circus-accented tour of data science in the world.” Wow, that is quite the sell! The data science professor, comedian, and genuine circus performer (see IG & Tik Tok) will take the audience on a journey through the intimidating jungle of statistics, linear algebra, programming and more! WHAT?! If you are saying to yourself “that made all my face holes clench,” chill out! Yes, that all sounded very frightening, but it’s OK! At THE DATA SCIENCE SPECTACULAR, through art and science, Andrea will demystify what’s actually goin on, explaining, once and for all, what “deep learning” means, and why data science requires your interest! You’ll leave the theater with actual knowledge about data science and why YOU are so important to that process.
Now for a little of that crunchy data. Andrea is a professor and the director of Undergraduate Studies at the NYU Center for Data Science. Jones-Rooy teaches the flagship undergraduate course, “Data Science for Everyone,” as well as upper-level courses on natural language processing. When Andrea isn’t acting as a research consultant, coach, and keynote speaker for Global Fortune 500s and tech companies, the liminal tours the globe as a comedian and circus performer, and hosts the World’s Smartest Podcast Network podcast, Majoring in Everything. Having dipped into the best of both worlds, Jones-Rooy has the chops to both educate and entertain the masses. Be a part of the exciting process TOMORROW!
