CHAPTER 16
Next-Generation Data Scientists,
Hubris, and Ethics
We want to wrap up by thinking about what just happened and what
we hope for you going forward.
What Just Happened?
The two main goals of this topic were to communicate what it's like to
be a data scientist and to teach you how to do some of what a data
scientist does.
We'd like to think we accomplished both of these goals.
The various contributors for the chapters brought multiple first-hand
accounts of what it's like to be a data scientist, which addressed the
first goal. As for the second goal, we are proud of the breadth of topics
we've covered, even if we haven't been able to be as thorough as we'd
like to be.
It's possible one could do better than we have, so the next sidebar gives
you something to think about.
