A Journey to Data Science: Tools for Equity and Diversity in STEM
summary
Fewer than 3% of data scientists are women of color and the path from STEM to data work often breaks unless community and tools intervene. The talk shows how Openscapes champions program and the RStudio community use R, GitHub and open science practices to rebuild pipelines, pay contributors, lower participation barriers, and move learners into teachers. Concrete outcomes include an Openscapes lecture series, a data mixer for Black marine scientists, and a Code for Science and Society grant to run Pathways to Open Science at HBCUs.
