Parent Footprint With Dr. Dan

Dr. Dan interviews Andrea Jones-Rooy – data scientist, educator, podcast host, comedian, and circus performer – about how data informs our journeys to being our best selves. Based on her life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, Andrea believes that it’s at the intersection of science and art that we can make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries. Andrea’s multi-hyphenate careers (she is equally comfortable entertaining at comedy clubs, speaking to Fortune 500 companies, and sitting behind the podcast mic) prove data is the foundation of how we live, how we make decisions, and how we can make the world a better place. Dr. Dan and Andrea define data and then discuss the data related to our current moment in history. They explore why democratizing data science empowers everyone—not just statisticians—to make sense of the numbers shaping our world. From political polarization to public health to how we read headlines, Dr. Dan and Andrea tell us how we can all use data
