Women in Data Science (WiDS) Hobart 2022 is an independent event that coincides with the annual Global WiDS Conference held at Stanford University and an estimated 150+ locations worldwide. This event aims to inspire participants about data science and its applications, by getting an insight into the careers and experiences of women in the field, and support women in data science by highlighting their amazing work.
WiDS Hobart 2022 will feature a discussion panel centered around the question: “How has your career journey been so far?”. Panelists will share their experiences, opportunities, and hurdles they have encountered along the way. This will be followed by a moderated Q&A session where members of the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Panelists include:
- Miranda Hunt, Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at Echoview Software
- Dr Paola Petrelli, Data Manager at the Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX)
- Mars Buttfield Addison, PhD candidate and software engineer at IMAS/CSIRO
- Dr Chloe MacKellah, Climate Scientist at CSIRO
- Dr Chen Zhao, post-doctoral researcher focusing on ice-sheet models
Participants have the opportunity to join in-person, or online via Zoom. Places are limited, so registration is essential. Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender.
