During the COVID-19 pandemic, for better or worse, we are learning much about ourselves as a society. Sabina Leonelli (“Data Science in Times of Pan (dem) ic,” this issue) provides a broad, cogent, and thought-provoking reflection on much of what we have learned to date from a data science perspective. Her chosen device for doing so—through imaginaries of data use—is particularly effective (and refreshingly unfamiliar to most data scientists) in balancing a sense of both what has been and what might be. The imaginaries include a welcome framing of the pitfalls of two broad areas of data science contributions during the pandemic: population surveillance and predictive modeling.Rather than similarly focusing on “the ways in which the data science contributions to the pandemic response are imagined and projected into the future,” here we center and emphasize the question of appropriate mechanisms for facilitating, or ideally even optimizing, such contributions. We advocate for mechanisms that will yield a coordinated and responsible rapid response, not a rushed response, from the data science community in times of crises, steeped in an evolving understanding of societal context. Specifically, we make the following points: 1) A data science rapid response network with a generalizable framework would help address not only gaps illuminated by the current pandemic, but also anticipated challenges in many types of future crises; 2) A data science rapid response network should leverage existing consortia, centers, and networks—strengthening capacity locally, regionally, and more broadly; and 3) A data science rapid response network can bring together talent, support scientific integrity, and help translate scientific discoveries to action in unique ways, facilitating relevant and timely coordination.
