The University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute, Darden School of Business, and School of Data Science announce the Data Science for the Public Good Forum, an opportunity for civic engagement. On June 4 from 4-5pm on Zoom, Mark Hansen, who has worked for decades at the intersection of data, art, and technology, will speak on this intersection and how data science can be used for good.

There is not only a growing international data science community—there is a growing community of women working in data science internationally.

Join us to hear from researchers studying Big Data about how they respond to the question of how algorithmic systems support emergent understandings of “the human,” “the social,” and conceptions of “the ethical.”

4:00 PM to 5:30 PM | McKim Hall

3:30 PM | Nau Hall 101

3:30pm to 5pm | Dell 1 

Mark your calendars for November 1, 2019 to join us for Datapalooza, a showcase for data science research at UVA and across the Commonwealth.

The School of Data Science hosted Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a fireside chat with Phil Bourne, Dean of the School of Data Science.
