• Using Data to Make the World Better with Andrea Jones-Rooy

  Dr. Dan interviews Andrea Jones-Rooy – data scientist, educator, podcast host, comedian, and circus performer – about how data informs our journeys to being our best selves. Based on her life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, Andrea believes that it’s at the intersection of science and art that we can make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries. Andrea’s multi-hyphenate careers (she is equally comfortable entertaining at comedy clubs, speaking to Fortune 500 companies, and sitting behind the podcast mic) prove data is the foundation of how we live, how we make decisions, and how we can make the world a better place. Dr. Dan and Andrea define data and then discuss the data related to our current moment in history. They explore why democratizing data science empowers everyone—not just statisticians—to make sense of the numbers shaping our world. From political polarization to public health to how we read headlines, Dr. Dan and Andrea tell us how we can all use data for good.   Andrea Jones-Rooy hosts the podcast Behind The Data where she discusses how data is actually collected, its limitations, and offers advice on how to factor it into decision-making. Andrea believes there’s no such thing as being just a “math person” or a “creative” – she insists we’re all capable of brilliance in both. “It’s all about finding the right way to unlock those skills and discovering what we’re truly capable of.”  Listeners will learn from, laugh, and love today’s discussion - even if they hate math!  For more information www.jonesrooy.com and follow @jonesrooy on Instagram.
