What exactly IS big data...and what impact does it have on government and our personal lives? Let's talk. Come meet with experts in the field of data science at 6 pm this Thursday evening at Connecticut's Old State House. How can big data enhance governance, create transparency, and address social issues? Can big data create bias, and if so, how can we correct this? Come explore these issues as part of our limited series "CTRL+SHIFT Democracy: The Impact of Technology on Society and Government." Admission is FREE.

Organizations possess a wealth of data that can be leveraged to generate significant value. But which strategies should they use to set them up for long-term success? Our September Tech Talk examined data valuation methods and the challenges that can trip companies up along the way. Check out what Lusine Tarkhanyan, PhD, Paul Puopolo, and Joe Fuqua shared with our audience here > https://lnkd.in/e94Vs8-C #datadriven #data #TechTalk

Have you ever asked Why? Why do we collect or even do not collect critical data? The Data Debaters will ask and debate this in our monthly Data Clinic! For everyone who has read the book #invisablewomen, all about the missing data about women in drug trials, car safety, etc Or a selection of current projects close to my heart #menopause #sustainablebusiness #esg #responsiblebusiness We have a great clinic coming up looking at the value of ‘other’ in data collection, and whoever wants to be ‘other’? 5-minute intro and a link to register in the post below. 👇👇👇

Excited to read the work of Abhishek Nagaraj and the interview with Josh Greenberg in the Harvard Data Science Review's Special Issue "Democratizing Data: Discovering Data Use for Research and Policy." The pieces champion the cause of open science and innovative evaluation methods, which is crucial in addressing critical societal challenges, and highlight the importance of evidence-based decision-making in science and public policy. These insights are invaluable for research funders, data creators, policymakers, users, and community organizers involved in the open science and evidence-generation sphere. #OpenScience #DataValue #EquitableResearch #DemocratizingData #PublicData #PublicValue Read the full issue here: https://lnkd.in/eTADXzZv

Today, we’re all participants in the data economy, yet many of us lack a common vocabulary to fully participate in the conversations around these systems’ design and implementation. With new terms popping up on a seemingly daily basis, we must take the time to promote shared language, and understanding, when comes to the world of #dataexchange. In his expert comment, our resident technologist Trev Harmon does just this, diving into relevant data terms, their meanings, and how they’re used in real-world scenarios. To help bridge the communication gap, take a look at his piece here👇 https://bit.ly/3KHYH5y

Here's a simple overview of a few basic data terms without going too deep technically. The more we all have a shared vernacular — and absent that, a better understanding of how others use terms — the easier communication (and getting stuff done) will become.
