Keynote: Crunching Numbers Like a Journalist

We are happy to announce Marie-Louise Timcke as a keynote speaker for the conference!

As our world becomes more and more data-driven, journalists are equipping themselves with data science and programming skills to turn numbers into headlines. Marie will talk about how newsrooms work with data on a day to day basis, and how scientific accuracy fits in with the pace of news reporting.
