I think the framing was just a little odd and ahistorical. Another (perhaps more consensus) reframing of the OP would be that interdisciplinary research wrt computation methods will lead to new scientific breakthroughs over the next decade. I strongly agree with this! 2021-05-04 09:28:22 @jabuppartyon I suppose it depends on what it means to be "overtook" or "a branch of" CS. Other fields do receive training in computational methods now (just as with statistics), but do not consider themselves subfields of computer science (or statistics). 2021-05-04 08:32:46 What is accurate is that in the pursuit of knowledge, disciplines embrace methods and tools from other fields. Ironically, computer science wouldn’t have the impact it did on society if it weren’t for embracing research and methods from social science. 2021-05-04 08:32:45 It’s a big leap in logic to assume that every branch of science will fall under computer science because it embraces computational tools. These fields didn’t become a branch of statistics when they embraced Gaussian distributions. https://t.co/rWolDQ1ajG 2021-05-03 17:05:42 RT @hrdag: How can data science answer questions about mass violence when datasets are incomplete + unrepresentative? #WiDS2021https://twit… 2021-05-03 08:57:29 Officials hailed Moscow's massive facial recognition camera network… now police tapped the surveillance system to identify and detain dozens of people who attended last week's protests in the Russian capital in support of jailed Kremlin foe Alexei Navalny https://t.co/aZttTpGWd8 2021-05-02 19:17:20 RT @RobertTLange: It's the beginning of a new month - so let's reflect on the core ideas of statistics in the last 50 years ⏳ Great weekend… 2021-05-02 14:04:49 RT @iamtrask: I think the biggest lesson I've learned from humanities friends is that any sufficiently big change to society is usually net… 2021-05-01 15:56:09 https://t.co/77V7wbrdri 2021-04-30 18:45:59 RT @jessica_ann87: This is great news!!!
