Grey matter is where knowledge is stored. White matter is where the connections are. Enhance those connections. For that, I recommend learning to juggle. https:

  This is a gross overextension of the results of that study. From the article you linked, emphasis mine: > ‘This exciting new result raises a lot of questions,’ says Dr Johansen-Berg, ‘MRI is an indirect way to measure brain structure and so we cannot be sure exactly what is changing when these people learn. Future work should test whether these results reflect changes in the shape or number of nerve fibres, or growth of the insulating myelin sheath surrounding the fibres.’ > ‘Of course, this doesn’t mean that everyone should go out and start juggling to improve their brains. We chose juggling purely as a complex new skill for people to learn. If OP takes your advice, they'd end up being decent at juggling, but at the huge opportunity cost of not practicing actual critical-thinking skills directly, or reading articles and books relevant to their target domain of expertise, or some other approach to prepare for interviews and a career in data science that's more effective than juggling, of all things. Besides, OP already said they've been juggling two kids!
