How do I use a new ipython kernel in Atom?

I created a data_science kernel for ipython by using the following commands:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name data_science --display-name "Python (Data Science)"

This creates a kernel with all my conda/pip data science packages. I can create a notebook with the new kernel, but what I would really like is to add this kernel to the Hydrogen Package in my ATOM text editor.

How do I add this kernel to my Hydrogen ATOM package?

If you're on windows you just need to reboot ATOM and it will automatically detected the new kernel.
