This is really long, but my sampling of 3 talks were all excellent.
Here's a link to the Foundations of Data Science course that Michael Jordan discussed in his talk: http://data8.org/ [quote: [Statistics] is a 300 year old field that got encrusted; it got hyper-mathematical [...]. You get these formulas that nobody believes because they don't understand, and they're not the right ones to use. [...] We got to get the math out of it and get the computing in. No calculus, start with inferential principles meets Python computing, and then they will want to do the math to prove that that works.]
