A talk by Nita Farahany.

We’re in an era where the lines between technology and the human mind are increasingly blurred. Imagine a world where your thoughts, feelings, and unspoken words become an open book, where doctors can catch disorders long before symptoms start to develop—or your boss can monitor your thoughts at work.

University of Puget Sound will be hosting DataFest during the weekend of March 27-29, 2026! It is a team based, friendly competition that takes place over a weekend of hanging out with friends and analyzing a secret dataset to win prizes and do Data For Good!
