    Surviving the Data Deluge

    One of the most pressing challenges in our increasingly data-driven world is the Data Deluge—the overwhelming flood of information that we generate and record every single day. With us are three experts from the University of Virginia’s School of Data Science. Phil Bourne, a professor of biomedical engineering and the founding dean of the school of data science, is joined by Terence Johnson and Alex Gates, both assistant professors of data science. Together, they have been exploring innovative methods to make sense of the vast oceans of data we’re all swimming in. This episode unpacks the challenges of the data deluge—what it means for businesses, researchers, and society at large—and explore the strategies we can use to navigate it. How do we make sense of so much information? How do we ensure the ethical use of this data? And what opportunities does this overwhelming flood of data open up for the future?

    Transforming Spotify Data Into Art

    Many of us look forward to our Spotify wrapped at the end of the year. It's fun to see your whole year in music reflected back to you in the form of auras and moods and, of course, ranked lists, all powered by the cold, hard data of our listening habits. But there's so much more data available to visualize as art. That's what our guest, Pete Cybriwsky does. Pete is an entrepreneur and an award winning artist building at the intersection of data and art. In this podcast, you'll hear him in conversation with Lane Rasberry wikimedian in residence at the UVA School of data science.  If you want to learn more about Pete's work, check out his new app Day By Data.

    Misinformation and Image Manipulation in a Polarized America

    In recent elections, the rise of misleading content—ranging from manipulated images to false narratives—has sparked growing concerns about misinformation and disinformation. How does this wave of deceptive content deepen political divides, shape voter perceptions, and erode trust? And what does it mean for our access to reliable information? Last month, the UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy and the School of Data Science co-hosted an in-depth discussion to ask these pressing questions and uncover the challenges at the intersection of truth, trust, and democracy. Guests included Mona Kasra, associate professor of digital media design at the University of Virginia; Francesca Tripodi, associate professor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and David Nemer, assistant professor in media studies at the University of Virginia.
