Charting a Course: from Physics PhD to Professional Data Scientist with Dr Resham Sarkar

There's no single path to a data scientist role. Practitioners come from fields as varied as software development, economics, and academia. Many people in that last group aren't sure what it's like to transition from an advanced degree program into industry. That's why I was happy to speak with Dr Resham Sarkar, a machine learning expert who heads up personalization at Slice. Before she started building ML around pizza, she completed a PhD in physics and then worked in insuretech.
