I will say, though, that Stats has gotten on the boat - albeit late - and Stat Ed is doing some really exciting things with coding + concepts.
Meanwhile, I *am* worried that these "Intro Data Sci" classes are sometimes really "Intro R" or "Intro python" - which are valuable but not a replacement for Stat.
So folks are being taught the tools of data analysis without a core understanding of important concepts like sampling variability, significance/signal, and so on. 🤷♀️
