Oliver Bogler, Director of the Center for Cancer Training and the Host of Inside Cancer Careers podcast at NCI, reshared a post on LinkedIn by Train at NCI adding:
Another great conversation about a unique program at National Cancer Institute (NCI) and with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs focused on data science. The VA takes care of millions of Americans, and the BD-STEP program combines their health data with the cancer focus of NCI to engage early career data scientists.
Our guests are leaders of the program from National Cancer Institute – Michelle A. Berny-Lang, PhD – and the VA Frank Meng, PhD and one of the alums data scientist Theodore Feldman, PhD.
Listen to us talk about the unique opportunities that BD-STEP brings and the very interesting things being explored.
Of course, we also talk careers – and as is often the case, we learn that everyone’s path is unique and fascinating.
Quoting Train at NCI’s post:
