Earlier this month, undergraduates from various universities across #SriLanka gathered at the @MoratuwaUni for an insightful workshop on Data Science for Development and Social Good, organized by @LIRNEasia with UOM. The session began with an inspiring keynote by Dr. @nano_unanue, Director of Research and Faculty at the School of Government and Public Transformation @TecdeMonterrey, Mexico, who shared global success stories of data science applications driving societal impact. Dr. @amarekas from @CarnegieMellon and Dr. @DanajaT, Principal Data Scientist, Circles, led a detailed presentation on practical examples, career pathways, and the skills needed to thrive in this emerging field. The session concluded with a Q&A, providing students with insights into internships, graduate opportunities, and the unique characteristics of this interdisciplinary domain. #datascienceforsocialgood #universityofmoratuwa #srilankanundergraduates #positiveimpact #datasciencecareer #ai #datascience #dataforgood #lirneasia #policyresearch #youngresearchers #opportunities #learning #training #datatraining #srilanka #undergraduates @merl_syrex

We recently joined the kick-off event for this year’s #DataScienceForSocialGood projects hosted by #LMU Munich. Proud to partner on a project to enhance visitor management in the Bavarian Forest National Park. 🌲 #DataScience #SocialGood #BavarianForestNP

🌟 Data Science Exhibition at #CSI2024 ! 🌟 Data science drives impactful decisions for communities and advances the SDGs. With PATCH, our initiative for Precision Health, discover how harnessing the power of data can drive decision-making and create positive impacts, especially for the most vulnerable communities. 🌍📊 #CSI2024 #DataScience #SocialGood #SDGs #DataScienceForSocialGood

I'm excited to be at @IC2S2 this week! Thursday btw 1:30 - 2:30pm I will be presenting our poster on predicting micronutrient inadequacy with machine learning. 🍓🍒💻 Looking forward to see you there! #DataScienceForSocialGood #SDG2

Conferences are my FAVORITE...especially when presenting with my amazing @NCStateCEDMETRC colleagues! We presented TWICE this week at #NCTIES23 and had a blast! #DataScienceForSocialGood #MicrobitPlayground go.ncsu.edu/ncties23_dssg and go.ncsu.edu/ncties23_microbi…

We’re halfway through the #DataScienceforSocialGood Summer Fellowship at @CarnegieMellon and excited to share updates on our projects with partners locally, nationally, and internationally around health, criminal justice, human services and more at dssgfellowship.org/projects/

Sewanee DataLab is pleased to have a very distinguished professor from CMU and a Sewanee alumni who will talk about a topic dear to his heart « Data Science for Social Good »…Stay tuned for more career sessions! #DataScienceforSocialGood #SpeakerSeries

Impact is amplified when we train our students and budding data scientists to think about data differently. The #DSSGxUK program at @warwickuni inspired by @rayidghani‘s #DataScienceForSocialGood program at @CarnegieMellon is a fantastic example → bit.ly/3tIg8Mg

Honoured to be awarded the Outreach and Engagement Excellence Award with @timothyjgraham for our work in the Social Systems Domain in the @QUTDataScience particularly for the #DecodeDatahon and #DataScienceforSocialGood programs 🥳

Looks like a great project related to online misinformation: brilliant intersection of Social Science and Computer Science #DataScienceForSocialGood #UCD #PostDoc

Fix a problem in the "social good" arena. #OpenData #PublicInterestTech #DataScienceForSocialGood Some very exciting work being done in police violence & police shooting. Nothing is being done to gather public health records on maternal mortality rates. Where's the app for MMIW?

FWIW My LinkedIn is open to people looking to work in #PublicInterestTech or #DataScienceForSocialGood. I’m all about encouraging portfolio builds addressing social problems. Ping me if you want to brainstorm. NEVER take career advice from me, I’m “The Bad Career Advice Fairy”.
