Congrats on this courageous career change and pursuit of interests. I shared a similar answer to a close friend who found a software job after spending most of his adult life in chemistry (phd in nano-chemistry from a prestigious university, did a boot camp / self-studied and just moved to SF for a job).
I think there is not a straight forward answer to your stated question "what parts of my resume should I focus on?" because any career changer will contain some risk from the hiring manager.
A slightly different question for you might be: "What companies (and their culture) will cultivate and appreciate your diversity of interests and strong background?"
What if your frame / pitch on your resume is "I'm an entrepreneurial, newly minted data scientist who has a track record in X fields, and I can be a high value add to your team culture. The risks from being new are over shadowed by how I learn and how I produce results".
Best of luck!
