We have some exciting news to share!
Some representatives of our editorial board were interviewed on this month’s episode of Practical Significance, the podcast from the American Statistical Association. The conversation was a pleasure so we hope you can check it out.
Practical Significance is a lively, thought-provoking series that examines how statistics and data science shape real-world problems, careers, and decisions. In the featured episode, hosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein take a deep dive into what we’re building at Real World Data Science — from our commitment to clear explanation and practical examples to the methodological depth that underpins our articles. Together, we explore why this combination is resonating with a global community of data practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers.
In the conversation, we reflect on the themes our editorial team is most excited about, our ambitions for the site, and how practicing data scientists can turn their day-to-day experiences into compelling, publishable articles. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner, an emerging data scientist, or simply someone who appreciates a well-told data story, the episode offers insight into the ideas driving our work.
Tune in to listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts.
