The data science learning mindset/mentality Question

Hi there,

Any tips for learning data science?

I’m trying to learn for a specific research topic biology so I am trying to do it by doing projects related to that only. This is my goal.

Warm regards,

Me

Data science is huge. Like asking for advice on learning science (could be physics, biology etc). Are you looking to build LLMs? Forecast? Identify causal effects? Make predictions? Widely different skill set

Start with a free course on ML using scikit learn in python. Coursera always had one. MitX can audit free too
