January 20, 2022

How do you unleash the power of data to benefit all Americans? DJ Patil became the first U.S. Chief Data Scientist under President Obama, and discusses with The Data Wranglers Joe Hellerstein and Jeffrey Heer how he helped to define what data science means and does for government, public policy and all Americans. Perhaps one of the most influential data scientists in the world, DJ discusses how data scientists played an integral role in the startup of LinkedIn and in the early discovery of the Covid pandemic. DJ also discusses the role of data science in public health and the criminal justice systems. Trifacta CEO Adam Wilson drops in to chat with DJ and announce an industry-changing acquisition by Alteryx. #TheDataWranglers
