Hi Helen,
Thank you very much for this Q&A service, I have so many questions. I have seen your profile and wanted to ping you.
I am trying to finish my masters in Bioinformatics and I keep thinking about jumping ship to data science. I have been working on a project that I describe as a fairly straight forward (and maybe too basic) "Compare & Contrast". I found a paper of "Top 10 Algos in DM" and now I am comparing and contrasting those algos with a my own data set. The project is not necessarily brilliant but I think very useful to me.
Anyway, I am looking for ways to 'market' / 'couch' this work from a DS viewpoint. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Hi Matt :)
Sorry for the late reply.
I think anything you do that interests you and you feel is 'useful' is definitely worthwhile.
What appeals to you about Data Science?
I was introduced to data science thru econometrics. Have you seen Hans Rosling s ted talks ?
I haven't but I'll check them out :)
Thanks for sharing
