Please join this community event for lively discussion and good food. Burt and Jenifer will share their perspectives on open data and how data can be misused by certain organizations or agencies in our society. They will also share why and how they first got involved in Open Access and ways that you can get involved with open data in your community. It should prove to be an enjoyable and enlightening evening.
