WiDS @ Australian Data Science Network 2024 | Australian Data Science | 11 March 2024 | Online

Celebrate International Women’s Day and Women in Data Science. Join us throughout the day as the ADSN introduces you to more than two-dozen women in Data Science from around Australia who are quickly becoming rising stars in the field. They’ll share their journeys, why they’re in Data Science and what they’re doing, and explore the issue of gender equity in STEM and what they experience in their careers and studies.
