Laurie Skelly
data scientist
Laurie Skelly joined the Datascope Analytics team as a Data Scientist in February, 2013, after completing her PhD in the Integrative Neuroscience Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. In her life as a social neuroscientist, using fMRI to study the neural processes behind empathy and psychopathy, she learned the ropes of zooming in and out between the macroscopic and the microscopic -- how do millions of data points come together to tell us something meaningful about human nature? And, just as importantly, how can words and pictures communicate sophisticated ideas in a digestible and memorable way?
