The Office of the Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity (COSWD) will host its first Scientific Workforce Diversity seminar of the 2024–2025 season on Thursday, Oct. 17 from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. ET.

The virtual seminar, “How Do Diverse Perspectives Enhance Data Science Outcomes?” kicks off with a conversation on the benefits of diverse perspectives in data science. Panelists will describe how diverse representation in data science enhances machine learning and artificial intelligence accuracy, particularly in the context of health sciences, such as in electronic health record data sets.
