There is wide agreement that ethical considerations are a valuable aspect of a data science curriculum, and to that end, many data science programs offer courses in data science ethics. There are not always, however, explicit connections between data science ethics and the centuries-old work on ethics within the discipline of philosophy. Here, we present a framework for bringing together key data science practices with ethical topics. The ethical topics were collated from sixteen data science ethics courses with public-facing syllabi and reading lists. We encourage individuals who are teaching data science ethics to engage with the philosophical literature and its connection to current data science practices, which is rife with potentially morally charged decision points.

An overview is presented of a general theory of statistical inference that is referred to as the fiducial-Bayes fusion. This theory combines organic fiducial inference and Bayesian inference. The aim is that the reader is given a clear summary of the conceptual framework of the fiducial-Bayes fusion as well as pointers to further reading about its more technical aspects. Particular attention is paid to the issue of how much importance should be attached to the role of Bayesian inference within this framework. The appendix contains a substantive example of the application of the theory of the fiducial-Bayes fusion, which supplements various other examples of the application of this theory that are referenced in the paper.

A purported `AI Singularity' has been in the public eye recently. Mass media and US national political attention focused on `AI Doom' narratives hawked by social media influencers. The European Commission is announcing initiatives to forestall `AI Extinction'. In my opinion, `AI Singularity' is the wrong narrative for what's happening now; recent happenings signal something else entirely. Something fundamental to computation-based research really changed in the last ten years. In certain fields, progress is dramatically more rapid than previously, as the fields undergo a transition to frictionless reproducibility (FR). This transition markedly changes the rate of spread of ideas and practices, affects mindsets, and erases memories of much that came before. The emergence of frictionless reproducibility follows from the maturation of 3 data science principles in the last decade. Those principles involve data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges, however implemented in the particularly strong form of frictionless open services. Empirical Machine Learning (EML) is todays leading adherent field, and its consequent rapid changes are responsible for the AI progress we see. Still, other fields can and do benefit when they adhere to the same principles. Many rapid changes from this maturation are misidentified. The advent of FR in EML generates a steady flow of innovations; this flow stimulates outsider intuitions that there's an emergent superpower somewhere in AI. This opens the way for PR to push worrying narratives: not only `AI Extinction', but also the supposed monopoly of big tech on AI research. The helpful narrative observes that the superpower of EML is adherence to frictionless reproducibility practices; these practices are responsible for the striking progress in AI that we see everywhere.

Design of Experiments (DoE) is a relevant class to undergraduate programs in the sciences, because it teaches students how to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments. In the literature on DoE, there are several contributions to its pedagogy, such as easy-to-use class experiments, virtual experiments, and software for constructing experimental designs. However, there are virtually no systematic assessments of the actual DoE pedagogy. To address this issue, we build the first database of undergraduate DoE courses offered in the United States of America. The database has records on courses offered from 2019 to 2022 by the best universities in the US News Best National Universities ranking of 2022. Specifically, it has data on 18 general and content-specific features of 206 courses. To study the DoE pedagogy, we analyze the database using descriptive statistics and text mining. Our main findings include that most undergraduate DoE courses follow the textbook "Design of and Analysis of Experiments" by Douglas Montgomery, use the R software, and emphasize the learning of multifactor designs, randomization restrictions, data analysis, and applications. Based on our analysis, we provide instructors with recommendations and teaching material to enhance their DoE courses. The database and material are included in the supplementary material.

A strong sense of classroom community is associated with many positive learning outcomes and is a critical contributor to undergraduate students' persistence in STEM, particularly for women and students of color. This manuscript describes a mixed-methods investigation into the relationship between classroom community and course attributes in introductory undergraduate mathematics and statistics courses, mediated by student demographics. The primary quantitative instrument is the validated Classroom Community Scale - Short Form survey. Data were collected from online courses in the 2020-21 academic year along with hybrid and in-person courses in Fall 2021 and analyzed using structural equation modeling. These quantitative results are complemented and contextualized by thematic and textual analyses of focus group data gathered using a newly developed protocol piloted at the close of Fall 2021 All data come from a highly selective private university in the United States. While the study was conducted amidst the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, potential ramifications extend more broadly. These preliminary practical implications of the study include the value of synchronous participation in fostering connectedness and the importance of attending to students' personal identities in understanding their experiences of belonging.

Is more information always better? Or are there some situations in which more information can make us worse off? Good (1966) argues that expected utility maximizers should always accept more information if the information is cost-free and relevant. But Good's argument presupposes that you are certain you will update by conditionalization. If we relax this assumption and allow agents to be uncertain about updating, these agents can be rationally required to reject free and relevant information. Since there are good reasons to be uncertain about updating, rationality can require you to prefer ignorance.

Gillikin (2017) defines a 'practice standard' as a document to 'define the way the profession's body of knowledge is ethically translated into day-to-day activities' (Gillikin 2017, p. 1). Such documents fulfill three objectives: they 1) define the profession; 2) communicate uniform standards to stakeholders; and 3) reduce conflicts between personal and professional conduct (Gillikin, 2017 p. 2). However, there are many guidelines - this is due to different purposes that guidance writers may have, as well as to the fact that there are different audiences for the many guidance documents. The existence of diverse statements do not necessarily make it clear that there are commonalities; and while some statements are explicitly aspirational, professionals as well as the public need to know that ethically-trained practitioners follow accepted practice standards. This paper applies the methodological approach described in Tractenberg (2023) and demonstrated in Park and Tractenberg (2023) to study alignment among international guidance for official statistics, and between these guidance documents and the ASA Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice functioning as an ethical practice standard (Tractenberg, 2022-A, 2022-B; after Gillikin 2017). In the spirit of exchanging experiences and lessons learned, we discuss how our findings could inform closer examination, clarification, and, if beneficial, possible revision of guidance in the future.

A community is a collection of people who know and care about each other. The vast majority of college courses are not communities. This is especially true of statistics and data science courses, both because our classes are larger and because we are more likely to lecture. However, it is possible to create a community in your classroom. This article offers an idiosyncratic set of practices for creating community. I have used these techniques successfully in first and second semester statistics courses with enrollments ranging from 40 to 120. The key steps are knowing names, cold calling, classroom seating, a shallow learning curve, Study Halls, Recitations and rotating-one-on-one final project presentations.

In 2022, the American Statistical Association revised its Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice. Originally issued in 1982, these Guidelines describe responsibilities of the 'ethical statistical practitioner' to their profession, to their research subjects, as well as to their community of practice. These guidelines are intended as a framework to assist decision-making by statisticians working across academic, research, and government environments. For the first time, the 2022 Guidelines describe the ethical obligations of organizations and institutions that use statistical practice. This paper examines alignment between the ASA Ethical Guidelines and other long-established normative guidelines for US official statistics: the OMB Statistical Policy Directives 1, 2, and 2a NASEM Principles and Practices, and the OMB Data Ethics Tenets. Our analyses ask how the recently updated ASA Ethical Guidelines can support these guidelines for federal statistics and data science. The analysis uses a form of qualitative content analysis, the alignment model, to identify patterns of alignment, and potential for tensions, within and across guidelines. The paper concludes with recommendations to policy makers when using ethical guidance to establish parameters for policy change and the administrative and technical controls that necessarily follow.
