Datathon 2023: Latin America
On November 8-10, 2023, the sIBTEDs (Illuminating Blindspots Through Equitable Data reuse practices in the global South) consortium organized a Latin America-wide Datathon.
Event summary: The 2023 Datathon brought together over 230 participants from across Latin America, and resulted in the consolidation of over 4,000 microbiome samples from the region as well as in the formation of working groups focused on data reanalysis and a monthly disciplinary newsletter. In 2024 and 2025, the sIBTEDs project will run a series of statistics and bioinformatics courses. In September 2025, sIBTEDs will hold a workshop on advanced data re-analyses.
