Communication as a Computational Scientist in Data Science
Communication is essential to what I do. The work I do can be quite technical, in terms of programming, but also in terms of the science involved. It is essential that I communicate this work differently to different people, i.e my manager, the sales and marketing teams, the laboratory directors or the clinical and patient advocacy teams. All of these groups have different priorities and expertise, but it is critical that all of them understand the work I am doing.
