I can\\u2019t remember how many times I\\u2019ve forgotten something important.

I\\u2019m sure it\\u2019s a regular occurrence though: I constantly forget valuable life lessons, technical concepts and useful bits of statistical theory. What\\u2019s worse, I often forget these things after working bloody hard to learn them, so my forgetfulness is just a giant waste of time and energy.

That\\u2019s why I jumped at the chance to chat with Iain Harlow, VP of Science at Cerego\\u200a\\u2014\\u200aa company that helps businesses build training courses for their employees by optimizing the way information is served to maximize retention and learning outcomes.

Iain knows a lot about learning and has some great insights to share about how you can optimize your own learning, but he\\u2019s also got a lot of expertise solving data science problems and hiring data scientists\\u200a\\u2014\\u200atwo things that he focuses on in his work at Cerego. He\\u2019s also a veteran of the academic world, and has some interesting observations to share about the difference between research in academia and research in industry.
