We invite participants to an open session with a research data librarian for a discussion of when and how human subjects' data can be safely shared. Learn the basics of data anonymization and discuss how to tell if a dataset has been de-identified. Case studies of successful anonymization and some spectacular failures will be shared.
Participants are encouraged to bring questions.
