Program Seeks to Nurture ‘Data Science Culture’ at Universities

"What this partnership is trying to do is change the culture of universities to create a data science culture."
The modern flood of data comes in a many forms — sensor data, genomic data, web click streams and credit card transactions, to name a few. The disparate data sources are often called "silos," suggesting the challenge of mingling different data sets to generate insights.
But if the data is in a silo, so are the people, often isolated in their fields of expertise. In universities, that problem is a key obstacle to progress in data science, according to academic research scientists.
