@adamrutherford.bsky.social finishes our day with a flourish, with a history of people giving their most personal data, their genome, to private organisations, and how data is manipulated for racism & eugenics. "Data is never neutral. Science is always political. Race is social construct" #LKFS2025
Adam Rutherford at a podium in front of a screen saying: Data is never neutral. Science is always political. Data checklist Who is acquiring the Data? How is it being acquired? Who owns and curates the Data? Who is using the Data and for what purposes? Whom does it represent and were they involved in its collection? Who vendors from its use?
