Colleagues,
The W.E.B. Du Bois Data Science Symposium takes place virtually on Friday, February 25, from 11:30 am ET to 5:15 pm ET.
Quoting the organizers: "We are driven to expose attendees from all walks of life to the power and potential that data science can unleash for the Black community. As the largest data science convening of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), we are poised to showcase the future of data science. Named after the historic Black data visualizer Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, the symposium occurs during the week of his birthday and purposefully coincides with Black History Month, adding to the meaningfulness of the event."
This year's virtual symposium features lightning talks by AUC faculty and researchers, engaging discussion roundtables, and networking opportunities. We will feature Dr. Daniel Dawes of Morehouse School of Medicine, who will talk about the innovative Health Equity Tracker, and a panel of New York Times Journalists on how they used data science to visualize the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Additionally, there will have prizes for the top three most engaged participants.
The symposium is FREE and open to the public. For registration and event details, visit: https://www.accelevents.com/e/duboisdata
Best regards,
Ron
