    Data science, Data science
    Night and day it’s Data science
    Some say it’s just statistics
    Some say that it’s comp science
    But what we’re really scared of
    Is losing all our clients
    So maybe we should join them
    And just form some grand alliance
    Data science data science
    Data science

    Data science, data science
    Night and day it’s data science
    Now think about the Russians
    And imagine our reliance
    As we’re putting neural networks
    Into every damned appliance
    To imagine this disaster
    Doesn’t take much rocket science
    Data science data science
    Data science

    Data science, data science
    Now to Chat we all seek guidance
    But when we ask about regression
    We get tales of ancient giants
    Cites a paper it invented
    And a court case with no clients
    Should we ship this to production
    Or is that non-compliance?
    Data science data science
    Data science

    may sing to the tune of “Purple Haze” (Jimi Hendrix)

    College GAISE builds the brain:
    concepts need to be explained. (3)
    Apps and software analyze (6)
    real data with a reason why! (4)

    Many ways we’ll assess (9)
    our iterative data science process—(1)
    Variables can confound, (5)
    but active learnin’ helps us ground! (8)

    Evidence-based ways to teach (8)
    will increase students reached.
    Show the scope of what we conclude (2)
    with ethics and belonging all infused! (7, 10)

    Outro:College GAISE: give its authors praise
    for trails blazed as the website displays!

  • Did you hear about the statistics teacher who tried helping his students by reminding
    them that the symbol ≤ could be read as "less than or equal", "at most" or "no more than"?

    Well, it was the least he could do!

    Larry Lesser and Dennis Pearl

  • By definition all scientists are data scientists. In my opinion, they are half hacker, half analyst, they use data to build products and find insights. It’s Columbus meet Columbo - starry eyed explorers and skeptical detectives.

    Monica Rogati (1978 - )
