I was a computational social scientist, which I think is what they call data science back in the mid 2000. Um, and the last job I had before I went to graduate school was actually working Um, for an organization called the Joint IED Defeat Organization, so we were creating models that we would actually use to predict the placement of IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we would send down range, you know, predictions wrapped up as tactical moves to soldiers to say, here's where we think you should avoid today, here's where you think you should avoid tomorrow, and the subject matter expert there was the soldier on patrol.
