Machine Eatable is back, and gearing up for 2017!
Microsoft Technology & Civic Innovation presents Machine Eatable, a lunchtime conversation at Civic Hall. This monthly lunch series offers a candid discussion led by community leaders around the latest happenings on the front lines of data science and social good communities. Join us for candid conversations and hearty sandwiches.
Rescue Government Data 
A decentralized network of civic hackers, scientists, librarians, and archivists have come together to protect at-risk US government data. A war on empiricism threatens climate science and access to the important government data that makes it possible. This has inspired the formation of the <A HREF="https://envirodatagov.org/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Environmental Data & Governance Initiative</A>, an international network of academics and non-profits dedicated to monitoring and preserving environmental evidence. 
We’ll talk about the organizing work they’re doing to protect these data, and most importantly, how you can help fortify and rescue government data. Spread the word about this conversation online with the <A HREF="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23machineeatable&src=typd" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">#machineeatable</A> hashtag.
This event is likely to sell out quickly, so be sure to also <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/data-rescue-nyc-tickets-31332874471">RSVP for NYC’s very own #DataRescue event</A> on Saturday, February 4th, for a full day to dig into this work.
