New open access paper on #DataEquity - necessary but not sufficient for #HealthEquity
Wang, Y., Boyd, A. E., Rountree, L., Ren, Y., Nyhan, K., Nagar, R., Higginbottom, J., Ranney, M. L., Parikh, H., & Mukherjee, B. (2026). Ten Core Concepts for Ensuring Data Equity in Public Health. JAMA health forum, 7(1), e256031. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamahealthforum.2025.6031

New data reveals a critical imbalance: most SDG 16 impact evaluations are clustered in moderately fragile states, leaving both the most fragile and the most stable nations under-examined.

We need globally inclusive, evidence-based investments in peace, justice, and accountability. If we truly want to “leave no one behind,” this begins with data equity.

Last Thursday, Bhramar Mukherjee received the Marvin Zelen Award from the Harvard Biostatistics Department.

I wrote up some notes on her amazing talk on #DataEquity in Health Research — mostly for myself to write down many of the amazing points she made!

Lots in there on the state of data equity in biostatistics, genomics, environmental justice, and how to work towards those goals in academia. Hope you enjoy!

How fair is #FAIR?

Is it fair that institutions from poor countries pay as much for #PID|s as institutions from rich countries?

Is it fair that #accessibility only means #accessible online?

And there's more to discuss. Watch "FAIR enough? Building DH Resources in an Unequal World" by @rojascastroa ⬇️

#openthepaths kicking off to discuss how better #dataequity using #opendata can contribute to #moveequity - kicking things off with learning about the variety of lived experiences of navigating the built environment.

Stay tuned for the next episode of #GlobalConversations where I spoke with Aparna Rae from Moving Beyond about #dataequity in organizations . For past episodes, visit https://YouTube.com/@urbanequity416 #equity #EDI.

Data Equity and the Impact of Our Choices

6 Steps to Help Organizations Build #EquitableData Practices

This article shares highlights from a recent learning session hosted by Certified #BCorporation ResultsLab and We All Count Foundation. The session focused on the foundations of #dataequity: What data equity means, why “data is objective” is a myth, and how you can begin to build a more equitable data practice.

Good morning #Fediverse :fediverse:! Hope you've all had a great weekend. In this morning's #ConnectionList #Introduction #Connections post, in which I help to more richly connect us together, I'd like you to meet:

@ZoeGlatt is a #PhD candidate and #DigitalEthnography #researcher, and founder of @DigitalEthnographyCollective. They (not assuming pronouns) are submitting in March and are interested in jobs researching #SocialMedia culture, #CreativeLabour and #CreativeIndustries

@ndporter is into #SocialScience, #Data and #DataEquity and works with the #Carpentries. The #Carpentries is a volunteer-driven movement to provide #researchers with foundational computational skills in technologies like #Python 🐍, #Git ⌨️ and #HPC #programming 💻

@pip works in #design for #AI at #CSIRO #ProductManagement

@safiyanoble is the author of "Algorithms of Oppression", which if you haven't read it, should be on your reading list, especially if you're into #AIethics or #FairML. It sits in a similar space to @VirginiaEubanks "Automating Inequality" and shows how algorithms serve to reinforce existing structures of oppression, particularly of POC.

@fionatribe is a #CulturalAnthropology person who is interested in #MaterialCulture, #Architecture and #Anthropology

@metasecsol works as an #InfoSec researcher at the #W3 and as a #Lecturer in #InformationSecurity #DevSecOps

Hey @nycHealthy your covid data page needs better QA or more code review. Getting consistent errors in mobile Safari. #dataequity #publichealth #transparency #accessibility

@astrodino @sherrirose curious if this includes fairlearn or some other bias detection algorithm (mostly because I hope there are more out there) #fairlearn #dataequity #datascience
