ACS Professional: Top 5 Data Science Trends in 2022
The importance of understanding how to work with data grows as the science behind it is becoming more accessible. Sharing and using data safely, as explored in the ACS Technical White Paper, “Sharing data in trusted frameworks” identifies controls to ensure that data is treated appropriately along its entire life cycle. This event will take a closer look at the anticipated trends for 2022.
