Guest Speaker: Dr. Josh Starmer, StatQuest
Moderated by Dr. Reza Rawassizadeh, Assistant Professor of Computer Science
Abstract: Hi! I’m Josh Starmer and I make YouTube videos that clearly explain Data Science, Statistics and Machine Learning Topics. In this talk I’ll describe the methods I use to research and master new material as well as the tips, tricks and design principles that I use to create presentations that allow the audience to focus on the main ideas.
Speaker Bio: Josh Starmer is the person behind the popular YouTube channel, “StatQuest with Josh Starmer.” Since 2016, Josh has used an innovative and unique visual style to clearly explain Statistics, Data Science and Machine Learning concepts and algorithms to curious people all over the world. Rather than dumb down the material, Josh brings people up with simple examples worked through, step-by-step, using pictures to make sure every main idea is easy to understand and remember. Josh is called the “Patron Saint of Silicon Valley” because people binge watch StatQuest videos before job interviews, the “Bill Nye of Statistics” by making the topic fun and exciting and the “Bob Ross of Data” by cutting through the hype and helping people relax with silly songs.
