As a student-led initiative, we aim to engage students by students. In other words, we provide opportunities for students to communicate their research efforts to form collaborations with other students, faculty, and business professionals. This aligns with our desire to encourage data analytics fellow health and nutrition researchers to pay proper attention to the means and modes of communicating their own research methods and results. This includes describing decision-making processes, justifying assumptions, and offering detailed visualizations of data science research digestible to a broad range of audiences. Below, we outline two opportunities for presenting your personal research – we hope that you will!
