The Data Science skills you already own
summary
Workshop claims that many lab and engineering tasks map to transferable roles and gives a seven-question worksheet to track progress over six months. Case studies reframe a molecular-biology résumé into project planning and complex-problem skills and an engineer’s panic as FOMO. Concrete benchmarks include 20+ projects and 50+ presentations as useful milestones, a recommendation to do a full Spark project to learn distributed data, and an explicit goal to specialize in LLMs.
