Beliefs, values and feelings in practitioners’ engagements with data mining for drug discovery

Otis Mensah, musician/writer and the first Poet Laureate of Sheffield, and ENON Films collaborate with  Dr Itzelle Medina and  Dr Jo Bates from the University of Sheffield to produce a short storytelling performance exploring how data scientists’ beliefs, values and feelings interact to shape how they engage with AI techniques to inform drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry.
