Claire McKay Bowen
Claire McKay Bowen was raised on a small farm in Idaho, where she was encouraged to explore and question the world around her. Eventually, she pursued a degree in mathematics and physics, but what intrigued her most in the research projects was statistical analysis and how it was applied to solve real-world problems. She received several fellowships and the Gertrude Cox Women’s Scholarship, going on to earn a doctorate in statistics. She is now the lead data scientist for privacy and data security at the Urban Institute.
