I conducted a session on Mon, 05 Oct 2026 at [Tools in Data Science — Sep 2026 Orientation](https://tds.s-anand.net/) - Remote.

**Speakers**: [Anand S](https://www.s-anand.net/)

**Summary**: TDS treats exams as the curriculum and agents as executors: students learn to specify, orchestrate, collaborate, notice, adapt and verify while the tools keep changing.
