Based on what? Anecdotal, but my partner is a data scientist and statistician full-time . She regularly volunteers or contracts her skillset to a range of projects, including medical research and criminal justice. It's very impactful work - some of the research will massively improve people's lives. And there is definitely enough work to mostly focus on those projects if someone wants to.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoCan I ask where she finds these volunteer projects? I have that skill set and that day job and haven't found any volunteer places that make use of specifically the data science/ML/stats. I've looked unsuccessfully a few times.
- superhuzza 6y agoMostly from past colleagues/professors she did research with. Universities are a good place to look as they often have other groups reaching out to them for expertise.
