Women in Data Science Virtual Conference
Join us for Lane Medical Library’s eighth annual Women in Data Science (WiDS) regional conference. “Ready, FAIR, Go! Making Clinical and Biomedical Data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable” is this year’s theme for the half-day virtual conference. The event will explore how women are incorporating FAIR data principles into their work. This year, our conference coincides with Love Data Week, a week-long celebration of all things data-related. There will be other data science events and workshops on campus throughout the week!
WiDS Stanford @ Lane Medical Library is independently organized by Lane Medical Library to be part of the mission to increase the participation of women in data science and to feature outstanding women doing outstanding work. You can explore all of the Women in Data Science events worldwide on the WiDS website.
Register today to save the date! Registration is free and open to the Stanford Medicine community and beyond.
