## Resource

Our hosts for this episode are William Mugan and Grace Gunne from the BSc UCD Economics and Finance class. Today, we are very pleased to welcome Jane Antova from IBM Consulting and colleagues Angela Stakelum and Bernadette Keating. First, Jane, can you share a little of your own story and starting out in IBM? So, what does a day in the life look like?  These days, do you find yourself needing more, or less interaction with technology specialists to get the job done?  Can you talk about typical sources of information and scale or size of datasets? Can you talk about the tools used for modelling, economic simulations, machine learning, and use of AI? Do you think that programming skills necessary or nice-to-have? We have some time for questions from the audience… Before we finish, is there anything further you'd like to add? (favourite pods, blogs, channels, books) Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your thoughts with us today.
