On Do You Really Need a "Sexy" Data Scientist?
Completely agree - only that a lot of the research looked at causation (dare I say it in the age of big data analytics). They set up experimental designs with control groups that identified a clear bias towards more attractive people. Those biases clearly exists in other areas as you have outlined. So where does this leave us - who believes that more attractive data scientists are more successful?
