DESCRIPTION:*Abstract* Data science is booming. Some of its success comes 
 from using the rigorous intellectual framework of the natural sciences and
  in particular physics. In this talk I will discuss what data science can 
 learn from physics and what physics can learn from data science. I will al
 so share my personal journey from theoretical physics to data science and 
 science communication.\n\n*Bio* Berebichez is the Chief Data Scientist at 
 Metis\, a leading data science training provider. She is a Mexican physici
 st\, data scientist\, TV host (co-host from 2012 of Discovery Channel’s 
 Outrageous Acts of Science TV show\,  where she uses her knowledge of phys
 ics to explain the science behind extraordinary engineering feats)\, educa
 tor and entrepreneur who dedicates her career to promoting education in sc
 ience\, technology\, engineering and maths (STEM) fields. She was the firs
 t Mexican woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford Universi
 ty.
