Topics discussed include identification of widely-known and useful data sources and tools for firms of all sizes to be aware of, the possible negative consequences or dangerous outcomes of the way data is collected and then presented today, what are some biases and gaps in the data one would know about, what are good questions to ask when beginning to work with data, what design professionals can do to help address the shortcomings of existing data, and more.
