Welcome to the  DSxHE's Download; our monthly informal, conversational and informative online Meetups!

These are open to anyone in the world, no matter what your level of experience and background. They are really just an opportunity to meet fellow DSxHE-ers and learn a few new things :-)

The format is the same every month and goes like:

1) Quick fire intros for all those in attendance

2) A couple of hosts (any member of the community can host!) who present in ~3 minutes a project, paper, blog, company, video or podcast on something to do with data science and health equity that they found interesting recently

3) We split into smaller hosted breakout rooms for wonderful meandering discussions in some of the themes each host covered

4) We reconvene to say goodbye until next time (and hopefully get a few volunteers to host next month's!)

This month we have the following hosts covering:

• Sobia Raza, who'll be speaking on The Dangers of Data Colonialism in Precision Public Health, a short commentary by Kadija Ferryman
• Karen Hodgson, who will be inviting discussion about the Inclusive Data Taskforce recommendations, and what they mean in relation to health data

Email us at maxine.mackintosh@genomicsengland.co.uk and ellen.coughlan@health.org.uk if you want to host. If you're looking for some inspiration on what to share, why not have a look at the DSxHE Library?

See you there!
