Create More Than You Take ft. DJ Patil, former Chief Data Scientist of the U.S.

As regulatory battles rage over data privacy and monopoly laws, we often think of Silicon Valley and Washington D.C. as separate worlds. Yet nothing could be farther from the truth. Historically, technologies like silicon chips and the Internet were rooted in huge government investment, leading to America's ascendance as a technological and military superpower. In this episode of Rebuilding Government, I’ll be chatting with DJ Patil—an expert on public-private cooperation on technology. He was former Chief Data Scientist of the U.S., where he pioneered national data initiatives across precision medical care, police transparency, and national security. DJ is currently the CTO of Devoted Health, a healthcare company serving seniors, and he previously built the first Data Science team at LinkedIn. Based on his wide-ranging experience, DJ has a real empathy for the challenges that these different sectors face in using technology for social good. We chat about his pathway to public service, what data ethics can learn from medicine, and advice for college students seeking a high-impact career. *Find us on Twitter @RebuildingGovt and your host @jasminewsun. * Relevant resources: * DJ Patil on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium @dpatil * Precision Medicine Initiative <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/precision-medicine" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/precision-medicine</a> * The 5 Cs of data science <a href="https://medium.com/@dpatil/ethics-data-science-ff21d0c29346" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@dpatil/ethics-data-science-ff21d0c29346</a> * Tuskegee syphilis experiment <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/timeline.htm" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/timeline.htm</a> * Henrietta Lacks <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks</a> * Nuremburg Code <a href="https://history.nih.gov/research/downloads/nuremberg.pdf" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://history.nih.gov/research/downloads/nuremberg.pdf</a> * The Power by Naomi Alderman Rebuilding Government is a podcast in collaboration with UNIT Innovations (@unitinnovations) and Teske Media (@teskemedia).

A Recipe for Democracy ft. Pete Davis, founder of the Democratic Policy Network

Civic life in America is on the decline. In the past few decades, trust in the media and politicians has decreased dramatically. Adults volunteer less often, and kids are less likely to take a civics class in school. It’s not that people don’t talk politics -- but that we no longer feel equipped to take up our problems with the people in power. Today, I’m talking to writer and activist Pete Davis, who’s dedicated his life toward this problem. He's campaigned for minimum wage increases and prison reform, founded a venture-backed tiny house startup and a neighborhood social media platform, and is now forwarding a national policy platform to mobilize grassroots democratic reform around the country. His work is organized around two frameworks: democracy, equal participation in power, and solidarity, a commitment to forging a shared destiny. We chat about the problem with NextDoor, connecting local to national issues, and how college students can develop a mission. Find us on Twitter @RebuildingGovt and your host @jasminewsun.

A Pipeline to Public Service ft. Rachel Dodell, Executive Director of Coding It Forward

Today on Rebuilding Government, I’ll be chatting with Rachel Dodell, the Executive Director of Coding It Forward, and Nik Marda, a Stanford student and 2019 Civic Digital Fellow, about bringing young technologists into government. We all know that government technology isn't always the most up-to-date. But it may shock you to learn that only 7 percent of U.S. federal employees are under the age of 30. The nonprofit Coding It Forward is trying to change that. Their trademark program is the Civic Digital Fellowship, a technology, data science, and design internship program that sends innovative students to DC to solve pressing problems in federal agencies. We discuss the birth of Coding It Forward, government hiring, and how a stint in Washington offers incomparable experience for the mission-driven student.
