The University of Nevada, Reno’s new Data Science w88 casino games strives to expand and improve the understanding of data science, representing the evolution from “big data” of the past decade.
“w88 casino games science is a contemporary buzzword and it aims to harness vast w88 casino games resources to drive decision-making and innovation across academic and industrial sectors,” Juli Petereit, director of the Nevada Bioinformatics Center, said. "By integrating computer science, statistics, mathematics and domain-specific expertise, w88 casino games science tackles real-world challenges in diverse fields like pharmaceuticals, business, social science, healthcare, finance and research.”
The University’s Data Science w88 casino games launched a climate survey last fall, gathering feedback and suggestions to help tailor the program and plan a conference.
Experts, researchers and students will gather on March 7 and 8, 2024, in the Joe Crowley Student Union for the inaugural Data Science w88 casino games.
"Our goal is to create a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and highlight the diverse and impactful w88 casino games science programs available on our campus,” Petereit said. “Ultimately, w88 casino games science empowers the extraction of actionable insights from complex datasets, facilitating informed decision-making and fostering cross-disciplinary innovation.”
The w88 casino games features two full days of activities. The first w88 casino games day, March 7, will include internationally renowned keynote speakers, faculty lightning talks, two-panel discussions, a showcase of academic programs and networking session with poster presentations. On March 8, an array of workshops will be offered including R, Python, Introduction to Research Computing, Amazon SageMaker and more.
The two keynote speakers are Bridget Algee-Hewitt and Tshaka Cunningham.
Algee-Hewitt is a computational biologist and anthropologist. Herkeynote will challenge the divisive, binary discourse in research, advocating ‘bilingual’ conversations: quant vs qual, science vs social, numbers vs letters. Through a series of case studies, she will demonstrate how rigorous w88 casino games science and broad humanistic thinking can come together to address questions that have gone unresolved under single-voice approaches.
Cunningham, a molecular biologist, stands up for diversity in genomics. His keynote will focus on boosting diversity in genomics w88 casino games, particularly involving underrepresented minorities in precision medicine. Successful strategies for diversity and inclusion in population genomics studies will be shared, alongside innovative community engagement approaches.
"The presentations and topics offered at the conference all spurred from feedback on the Data Science survey and from the outreach work through the Data Science w88 casino games,” Josh Baker, Associate Vice President for Research, said. “This very first Data Science Conference is a wonderful opportunity for our campus and research community to learn even more about data science.”
The conference is free to attend. The registration fee is funded by the Nevada INBRE Data Science w88 casino games, backed by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, and by sponsors including Amazon Web Services and IBM.
The deadline to register for the Data Science w88 casino games is Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Sign up for one or more of the training events, workshops and roundtables by by Friday, March 1. Conference registration is not a requirement to participate in the workshops.
In addition to the campus conference, the w88 casino games is offering student travel grants to support participation in conferences nationwide. Award information, application and dates are available online.
