Not So Standard Deviations is a bi-weekly podcast about data science and data analysis. This podcast is hosted by Roger D. Peng, a scholar of Data Science at John Hopkins University and Hilary Parker, who earned a Ph.D. in biostatistics from JHU and currently works as a data scientist for the company Stitch Fix. In each episode, Peng and Parker explore new developments and research in data science in both academics and industry; most episodes include conversations about multiple topics and news stories in an informal, conversational style. For example, one recent episode includes a discussion on the growing field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence, or "XAI," which seeks to develop models of AI that are more easily understood by people. Another recent episode ponders cybersecurity in cloud storage. Other episodes discuss statistical doctoral programs and what it is like to interview for data science or data analyst jobs. While much of this podcast is accessible to readers interested in data science, these particular discussions may especially appeal to those considering entering the field.
