"Do We Even Stand a Chance?” | Two Women in Data Science Speak Out
In This Episode
Only 1 in 5 data scientists is a woman. In this NeurOlympics episode, our two data science interns Inés Cueli Fernández and Karen Saya Heredia share their journey breaking into the male-dominated world of data science. Fresh out of their master’s programs, they share the challenges of entering today’s job market—from unrealistic entry-level expectations to the barriers women face in tech. They talk about dreaming of roles in Formula 1 and the European Union, and how brain data can prove talent beyond bias—opening doors to careers women are often excluded from.
