Dawn Duhaney
Description
We talk to Dawn Duhaney, Data Partnerships Manager at the Wellcome Trust, and formerly of the U.K. government and the Open Data Institute, about all things data, diversity and ethics.
Dawn shares her experiences coming from a liberal arts background and getting into a career in data. We discuss the challenges of establishing data skills within traditional organisations, why data science is not a magic bullet, and the realities of embedding ethics into service delivery.
We also chat about how teams can reduce bias and build relationships across boundaries by embedding inclusive practices, and why we should be supporting diverse communities in tech. Finally, we get Dawn's top tips on Beyoncé albums and hear why Lemonade is bringing feminism to a new audience. The perfect start to your weekend playlist!
