Back in May I gave a short talk to the Data Driven NYC meetup entitled, "WARNING: Do not feed the wildebeests."

The focus of the talk was to encourage those in the position to hire data analysts and data scientist to consider social scientists, rather than the "PhD in math, statistics, computer science, or equivalent," that has become the de facto for data science job listings.

Stand up and take the pledge: I will not feed the wildebeests!
