The data geniuses at ADRC NI, Groundswell and the Centre for Public Health want to talk to you about data - how we use it, why we use it, where it comes from - and why you should (or shouldn't?) trust the data. You'll hear from Dr Leandro Garcia from Groundswell, looking at how data can actually connect us with nature, from Dr Linda Kirkpatrick from ADRC NI on the myriad ways data is used in research and policymaking; from Dr Ethna McFerran on data as an important weapon in the fight against cancer, and Dr Blánaid Hicks about how data is a crucial ingredient in researching medicine. All deftly…
