Biology to Data Science (data professor's tips on how to get a data science research position)How did data professor transition from biology into data science? How do you get a research position with a professor? Will machine learning become automated? Where is data science headed in the future?I had the incredible opportunity to interview Chanin aka. Data Professor! He is a bioinformatics research professor that transitioned from biology to data science through his PhD. He's extremely knowledgeable and I think you guys will derive so much value from this video! :DP.S. Data professor actually is a real professor!

I worked in bioinformatics for a year before doing my masters in computer science at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn MCIT). I interned at Goldman Sachs and am now a full time data scientist at a FAANG company. ______________________________________________________________________ Contact: linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaw-h/ (preferred) email: hellotinah@gmail.com *I'm the fastest to respond on youtube, followed by linkedin (especially if you mention in a youtube comment that you messaged me)!
