Have you heard increasing references to ‘data science’ about campus?  Arcana such as ‘data notebooks’ and ‘APIs’ dropped into conversations?  Weird mention of animals like pythons and pandas?  If you fancy a non-threatening peek at a few basic data science tools in the Python ecosystem, or you just need to give the old eyeballs a break from the Excel grind, come and eat your lunch with us. Presented by Jonathan Sutherland.
