A balanced diet of machine learning education with Carrie Diaz Eaton

Welcome back to season 2 of HDYK!

Today we're talking about how our positionality and the assumptions we make affect our approaches in science, but also thinking about how we turn that positionality into a strength by incorporating diverse viewpoints. We're starting this season with a great conversation with Dr. Carrie Diaz Eaton. Carrie is a mathematician and associate professor of digital and computational studies at Bates College.

She co-founded QUBES, which stands for Quantitative Undergraduate Biology, Education and Synthesis, a community devoted to open educational materials, to share amongst biology educators, to help bring quantitative concepts into the curriculum. She also chairs the committee for minority participation in mathematics at the Mathematical Association of America, her work centers inclusivity and engagement in math education.
