anger. Anger leads to hate.

Hate leads to suffering.”

What changes in academic culture should we strive

toward? What institutional barriers need to be

removed?

Recognizing that graduates will go on to work in both

academia and industry, how best to prepare them for

success in both worlds?

What drivers might shift academia toward recognizing

& rewarding “data scientists” in geography?

Whither “data science?” Where does it fit within the

structure of the university?
