Podcast appearances and mentions of andrea jones rooy

Dr. Dan interviews Andrea Jones-Rooy – data scientist, educator, podcast host, comedian, and circus performer – about how data informs our journeys to being our best selves. Based on her life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, Andrea believes that it's at the intersection of science and art that we can make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries. Andrea's multi-hyphenate careers (she is equally comfortable entertaining at comedy clubs, speaking to Fortune 500 companies, and sitting behind the podcast mic) prove data is the foundation of how we live, how we make decisions, and how we can make the world a better place. Dr. Dan and Andrea define data and then discuss the data related to our current moment in history. They explore why democratizing data science empowers everyone—not just statisticians—to make sense of the numbers shaping our world. From political polarization to public health to how we read headlines, Dr. Dan and Andrea tell us how we can all use data for good.   Andrea Jones-Rooy hosts the podcast Behind The Data where she discusses how data is actually collected, its limitations, and offers advice on how to factor it into decision-making. Andrea believes there's no such thing as being just a “math person” or a “creative” – she insists we're all capable of brilliance in both. “It's all about finding the right way to unlock those skills and discovering what we're truly capable of.”  Listeners will learn from, laugh, and love today's discussion - even if they hate math!  For more information www.jonesrooy.com and follow @jonesrooy on Instagram.

Andrea Jones-Rooy! Comedian! Scientist! Podcaster! Circus performer! Friend! Delight! More! Want more information? Well, you've come to the right place: ABOUT ANDREA JONES-ROOY Ph.D.: Andrea Jones-Rooy is a unique voice who combines science with comedy to empower audiences of any education level to utilize data and tools accessible to all. AJR helps people learn to cut through the noise, better understand our world, and emboldens them to act. AJR holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan. Formerly a professor of data science at NYU and a quantitative researcher at FiveThirtyEight, Andrea speaks and trains globally at organizations that include Fortune 500s, tech companies, and the UN, on how to apply data science to their toughest problems. She currently hosts the podcast Behind the Data, and previously hosted the podcast Majoring in Everything. AJR is also a stand-up comedian and circus performer, although she has done neither at the UN (yet). ABOUT THE PODCAST "BEHIND THE DATA" (SEASON 2 COMING SOON) Data is all around us, and it powers a lot of our world, but where does it come from? Who collects it? How do we know if it's any good? Each week data scientist and standup comedian Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D. brings you a new story about the humans and decisions behind important data that influences our lives - from political polls to measures of democracy, from tracking happiness around the world to powering AI. Join us on a journey to understand why making sense of the world depends not just on our ability to analyze it, but on the data we source in the first place. At the heart of any data that matters are real human stories about why we care about what we do.  For example, crime data describes ‘reported crime', which is different from (and less-than) ‘actual crime'. The two deviate to differing extents for different crimes - auto theft has a high rate of reporting due to insurance claims, while rape is horrifyingly underreported. Andrea Jones-Rooy will discuss how to navigate this churning ocean of data in which we are all swimming (whether we want to or not). Joined by weekly expert guests, Andrea will bring her signature engaging style to investigate the ways data on polling, crime, jobs, movies, fitness, medicine, democracy, and happiness are created, and help us to understand what we can and cannot (yet) learn from it. If you are affected by ANY of these subjects (you are), you're not going to want to miss this podcast! Season 1 guests include: Dhrumil Mehta, Journalism professor at Columbia University, formerly database journalist at Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight Ben Casselman, New York Times economics and business reporter Christie Aschwanden, science journalist and author of the NYT bestselling book, Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Discovery Dr. Steven Novella, clinical neurologist and host The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast Walt Hickey, pulitzer prize winning data journalist, author You Are What You Watch: How Movies and TV Affect Everything, creator and writer Numlock News And more! Behind the Data is produced as part of the Daily Tech News Show (DTNS) network, which is dedicated to providing news about technology that is easy to understand. With a unique blend of ‘smartypants' comedy and actual science, Andrea seeks to help listeners understand how data shapes the world, and to teach everybody (not just scientists) to use data to inform their thinking. Remember, data doesn't have to be a four letter word! ABOUT THE PODCAST CONVERSATION BETWEEN ME AND ANDREA: It is fun! Please enjoy! And this is only the first HALF of our conversation.

Everyone is about to have Thanksgiving with friends and family, some who may have very different political views than they do. It used to be that you could find something to agree on with those of another political party. Data shows that the political polarization in our country is worst now than ever. How did we get here? How do we fix it? This week we invited data scientist, research consultant, and keynote speaker, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D. on the show to discuss (she's a stand-up comedian and circus performer too - fun fact!)We talk about the role the media plays in our division, why disagreement is good for solutions, and we circle back often to the water damage issue currently happening at our house.

Welcome to "Behind The Data". We all know that data is all around us -- it powers every algorithm, predictive model, and AI tool that is revolutionizing our lives. But where does it come from? Who collected it? How do we know if it's any good? For every dataset shaping our lives, there is a person or team making impactful decisions about what to track and how to track it that we are barely talking about. In this show we go behind the data to understand the stories and incentives behind how all this data came to be, why it matters for our lives, and how we can play a role in shaping it going forward.Starring Andrea Jones-Rooy, Dhrumil MehtaAndrea Jones-Rooy: www.datascienceneedsyou.com, www.instagram.com/jonesrooyGuest Dhrumil Mehta: https://dhrumilmehta.com, https://twitter.com/datadhrumilMaterials referenced in the show:Example polling tracker (the current version is not one that Dhrumil and I worked on): https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/Nate Silver article, "The Media Has a Probability Problem", FiveThirtyEightHarry Enten article, "Fake Polls are a Real Problem", FiveThirtyEightHarry Enten article, "Trump is Just a Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton", FiveThirtyEightDhrumil's polls LLM: http://pollfinder.ai

Immediately following Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, student groups at Harvard University, Princeton University and beyond celebrated the slaughter of roughly 1,400 innocent people, while many faculty and administration at those institutions chose stay silent and not to condemn. In response, many wealthy donors at these institutions have pulled their funding and disassociated themselves from the universities they previously supported.Today we get the World's Smartest Podcast Network gang of Andrew Heaton from The Political Orphanage and Andrea Jones-Rooy of Majoring in Everything back to discuss this tense time for universities in America.
