Scientific Workforce Diversity Seminar Series: How Do Diverse Perspectives Enhance Data Science Outcomes?

Registration is open for our first seminar of the 2024–2025 season, “How Do Diverse Perspectives Enhance Data Science Outcomes?”. The seminar will explore strategies for identifying and mitigating bias in data science, with a focus on promoting equitable representation in research environments and fostering diverse participation. 

We are pleased to host three esteemed leaders across the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to discuss how diverse representation in data science enhances machine learning and artificial intelligence accuracy, such as in electronic health record data sets.   

Speakers from the NIH National Cancer Institute, Office of Data Science Strategy, and National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering will also emphasize the advantages of fostering an inclusive environment in the scientific community.
