Some of the biggest ideas start with a simple question. What if we tried something differently? What if we looked a little deeper?
What if an idea that starts here at UNM could change someone’s life? Across campus, Lobos are asking those questions every day through research, scholarship and creative work.
Accelerate New Mexico is about investing in that curiosity and giving great ideas the opportunity to go further.
Be the Reason the next discovery begins here.

Open Access Month Event!
Data Are Power: Big Data, Open Data, and Critical Data Studies

Who benefits from big data and open data? Who bears the costs? What does it mean to think of data as a form of power? In this talk, Dr. Danielle Maurici-Pollock considers this year's International Open Access Week theme "The Cost of Knowledge" from the perspective of critical data studies, examining the sometimes hidden and often unevenly distributed costs of data, including topics such as privacy concerns, ethical challenges, environmental impacts, and the invisible labor supporting data infrastructures.

Oct 12, 12–1 p.m. | HSLIC Room 223 or Online

Speakers:
Danielle Maurici-Pollock, Ph.D., is the Research Data Specialist at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center.

Think about the professor who made something finally click. Or the one who challenged you to look at something differently.
