Simple solutions to everyday problems - collecting and visualising data

Open Access

Abstract

How can data science help in common tasks? This talk illustrates the development of a simple data pipeline: collating data from external bodies and then visualising the responses to provide insight. The project success hinged upon the collaboration of subject specialists and data scientists. This cross disciplinary working enabled an efficient data pipeline to be of greatest benefit to stakeholders. Tools used: Microsoft Forms; R; Github. Talk given at a UK Government data science careers event.
