RESUMEN
Data science is a newly-formed and, as yet, loosely-defined discipline that has nonetheless emerged as a critical component of successful scientific research. We seek to provide an understanding of the term "data science," particularly as it relates to public health; to identify ways that data science methods can strengthen public health research; to propose ways to strengthen education for public health data science; and to discuss issues in data science that may benefit from a public health perspective.
RESUMEN
Computational thinking will influence everyone in every field of endeavour. This vision poses a new educational challenge for our society, especially for our children. In thinking about computing, we need to be attuned to the three drivers of our field: science, technology and society. Accelerating technological advances and monumental societal demands force us to revisit the most basic scientific questions of computing.
