Ever wondered what was going on in the data science community with relation to biomedical research? Ever wish to share your own knowledge about the field? No need to worry any longer!
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a new data science blog which “is the beginning of a more coordinated and push-oriented communication strategy.” The purpose is to distribute information to the data science community “to foster an ecosystem that enables biomedical research to be conducted as a digital enterprise that enhances health, lengthens life, and reduces illness and disability.”
The Associate Director for Data Science (ADDS) Phil E. Bourne, contributed the blog’s first post with his 2014 review of data science at NIH. The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently met with Dr. Bourne and discussed grand challenges in the computer science and data science fields. More information about this meeting is forthcoming.
The data science blog will cover big topics, but it is also intended to be a community-wide endeavor as they welcome guest posts and topic suggestions.
Feel free to contact beth.russell@nih.gov if you wish to contribute a post.
