Wow, top right and bottom left wanted to be doctors? How surprising. Who would have thought!

Time and time again, we see people go to the traditional fields, technology or finance, or use data from social media. We need more diverse profiles and outcomes. We need to hear from data scientists who are not busy making us click, buy, subscribe, etc. We need to hear from data scientists for whom profit is a means to an end, not the end. Data science for social science, development policy, etc.
