Data: Was it Love at First Sight?
More than half of American adults believe in love at first sight. Whether your love
is for data or for something more traditional, join us for a light-hearted (see what
we did there?) look at what data in ICPSR's collection can tell us about love. We
will explore data about the love we have for each other (friendship, sexual, romantic,
familial), for our pets and hobbies, even for selected foods. The goal of the session
is to have a bit of fun while exploring the breadth of data available through ICPSR.
This webinar will be recorded, and the recording and slides will be sent to all registrants.
Zoom FAQs are available at http://myumi.ch/kx2oo. This webinar is part of Love Data Week: https://myumi.ch/ICPSRldw2022events.
