Funded by Lynne and Marc Benioff and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the UCSF PTBi  harnesses the talent of transdisciplinary scientific, clinical, and community expertise to stop the epidemic of prematurity in its tracks.

A hands-on workshop to learn about a new health data mapping tool for Oakland, San Francisco and Fresno counties.

Oakland Public Library

A community’s health data may hold great value for local and state level change. However, unless insights are clearly visualized to allow for translation of data into action or outcomes, that value will sit untapped. The art form of visualizing data to express a community’s health story is quickly becoming an important asset for public health improvement.For our October Collaboratory, we are hosting a hands-on workshop to learn about a new health data mapping tool for Oakland, San Francisco and Fresno counties. Created by PTBi researcher, Marta Jankowska and her team through community collaborations, the workshop will help participants craft a clear data story for their organization or lab and give tools for creating an ESRI Story Map for their audience of interest.Participants will create their own story map using the visualization tool so personal laptops are required.Workshop facilitators: Jessica Block, Marta Jankowska, Jay YangDue to the interactive nature of the event, remote access will not be available.
