360 Degrees of Data Science
On the 6th of March 2020, the 360 Degrees of Data Science symposium will be held for the first time. This free one-day symposium will showcase applications of data science in novel domains.
The keynote of the day will be given by Stefania Giodini of the Red Cross on data science for disaster response and Janina Rannikko of the Helsinki XR Center.
In addition to guest speakers, there will be various interactive workshops with case studies from industry and a panel on the ethics of applying data science in the real world. Female data scientists will take a central stage on this day to demonstrate how data science can be an interesting career choice not only for men but also for many women.
Whether you are a novice interested in learning more about data science or an experienced data scientist intrigued by how NGOs and companies are using data, this symposium will provide an interesting peek into how data science can benefit many fields, also those you might not have expected.

How a PhD is like training for a marathon
Preparing for three races in three years at university showed biochemist Kathryn Wierenga the parallels between running and doing a PhD. She explains that even disheartening times help you to move towards the bigger goal, and why having a buddy and recovery time are crucial.
Towards a Research Integrity Culture at Universities
As part of LERU, Leiden University aims to develop a research integrity culture. At a time when public trust in information is increasingly challenged by misinformation, the need for sound and trustworthy research has never been so important. This paper shows how this could be achieved.

PhD and carer: how I got through it
“Caring for a loved one who had cystic fibrosis and was waiting for a transplant, while I was trying to complete my PhD programme, seemed impossible,” writes clinical researcher Luke Yates. He describes how a compassionate supervisor and a range of techniques helped him to maintain his experiments, his family commitments and his mental health.
