#MSUDH #DH folks‼️February 10-14 marks the annual international celebration of data called Love Data Week.
Take a minute to think about who owns data compared to who uses it. Different groups - like researchers, the government, or companies - may collect data. They could own it, share it, or combine it. This year's Love Data Week wants us to ask 'Whose Data is it Anyway?' This helps us remember to think about where the data came from before using it.
