Felienne interviews Jeroen Janssens on Data Science. They examine what data science is exactly, particularly exploring how it differs from machine learning and statistics. The episode further considers what skills people need to be great data scientists – skills that are related but not always equal to the skills that programming and software engineering require. The interview also covers which programming languages are most prominently used in data science, and which are most suitable. The show closes with options that differ from programming, such as Jupyter Notebooks and analyzing data at the command line.
