What is happening in data science globally?

“

- Across the world, data science is just taking off. I was really excited to see that Facebook opened some offices in Singapore, and I looked actually today to see what the positions were that they had open and they've got several data science and analytics positions open not only in Singapore but Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, London, all over the place. As far as global organizations, there's Data Kind that's operating in Banglore and Singapore. Many of the, it's got hubs in many of the major centers around the world for doing data science charity projects, kind of like a volunteer organization, so there's a community, a whole, it's a big thriving community built up around doing data science volunteer projects, and that's exciting to me. To bring the power of data science into the developing world where it can change, it's changing people's lives here, but we already have great lives, and to be making a difference in countries where there's real struggle, I think that's pretty amazing.
