Love Data Week 2022, February 14 – 18

Love Data Week is an international event intended to engage researchers in dialogues around issues and methods in data creation, analysis, and visualization.


As federal and foundation funders increase their focus on rigor and reproducibility, conversations about data are more important than ever. Join us as we tackle various data-related topics during the week of Valentine’s Day, February 14-18, 2022. This year Laupus Health Sciences Library will be hosting eight presentations dealing with data-related topics. REDCap training will also be provided during this week. All sessions will be held over WebEx.
