Can Data Unite Us? with Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy

Laugh Lines with Kim & Penn Holderness

Everyone is about to have Thanksgiving with friends and family, some who may have very different political views than they do. It used to be that you could find something to agree on with those of another political party. Data shows that the political polarization in our country is worst now than ever. How did we get here? How do we fix it? This week we invited data scientist, research consultant, and keynote speaker, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D. on the show to discuss (she's a stand-up comedian and circus performer too - fun fact!)


We talk about the role the media plays in our division, why disagreement is good for solutions, and we circle back often to the water damage issue currently happening at our house. You can learn more about Dr. Jones-Rooy here: https://www.jonesrooy.com/. Happy turkey day :)
