Big data for impossible questions

Daniel Carter (Research Assistant in Social Epidemiology)

Dr Dorothea Nitsch (Clinical Lecturer)

Are there some questions that are too complicated to answer? What if big data could help? Large data sets have led to the discovery of previously unknown patterns linked to disease, our behaviour and the world around us.

In tonight's talk, learn more about how we use big data to answer impossible questions about global health and the impact these findings could have on your future health.

Exciting Pint of Science prizes to be won on the night!
