From writing proposals to developing conceptual models, managing projects, and delivering client presentations, life as a data scientist at a small company requires wearing many hats. In this 'Day in the Life of a Data Scientist' seminar, we explore the multi-faceted nature of working in a startup environment. We'll discuss essential skills and tools, the importance of refined scientific communication, and the role of continual learning, all against the backdrop of data science in the natural resources sector.
