Love Data Week, set for Feb. 9 to 13, is an international celebration of all things data.
Each year, the Data and Bioinformation Services team at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library engages the university community on topics such as data management, sharing, wrangling, and visualization, as well as open and reproducible science.
This year’s theme is “Where’s the Data?,” which encourages us to think about data’s journey from collection through storage and preservation.
Join us for the events below.
