Business and human rights have an uneasy relationship, with the big data issue casting a long shadow over the social media networking scene. From a very real threat to existential fear and anxiety, here death anxiety will be given a neurological presence in a way to understand this age old fear of death.

Data – why it’s good to share
Christopher Coates
(Communications Officer CER - Advancement)
You may not like how supermarkets, search engines and social media platforms use what they know about you, but research using data can help us build a better world. Chris will take a light-hearted look at how researchers use social, economic and population data to give us insights into how we live – which can change our lives for the better by shaping government policy. Giving our consent to ethical data-sharing can be not just socially responsible, he says, but a way of making our voices heard
