NASA is one of the world's premier science and engineering organizations. Research opportunities are almost always interdisciplinary, where data scientists need to collaborate with scientists across widely varying and highly innovative domains. At NASA, women play a crucial role at all levels of its mission. This panel brings together four female data scientists, ranging from early career to senior, to discuss their research, career paths, and experiences at NASA.
