Data Science Tour for Students: What I’m Doing As a Grad Student

What is it like to do research as a grad student? In the kick-off to CANSSI Atlantic’s Atlantic Canada Data Science Tour, three master’s students and one PhD student in statistics at Dalhousie University will talk about the path that led them to graduate studies in statistics and the research they are doing. The host will be Joanna Mills Flemming, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Associate Dean of Graduate and Global Relations at Dalhousie University. Joanna is also the Regional Director of CANSSI Atlantic.
