Data-Thon: Data Preservation Event
Join us for an event focused on preserving vital public health datasets and information that are rapidly disappearing from US government websites. These resources are crucial for researchers worldwide, enabling them to generate credible insights and inform decisions in clinical care, health policy, health equity, and resource allocation. Learn how you can contribute to safeguarding public health data by identifying at-risk datasets and websites, implementing preservation measures, and ensuring proper documentation to keep information publicly accessible.
Data science skills are not necessary, but please bring your enthusiasm and your patience – we will be testing this process in real-time while fostering a supportive community!
