Love Data Week 2026 Begins Feb. 9
January 20, 2026

Love Data Week, set for Feb. 9 to 13, is an international celebration of all things data. Each year, the Data and Bioinformation Services team at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) engages the University community on topics such as data management, sharing, wrangling, and visualization, as well as open and reproducible science.
This year’s theme is “Where’s the Data?,” which asks us to consider data’s journey from collection through storage and preservation.
As part of the celebration, join us for a virtual session featuring campus experts from the HSHSL, the Pharmaceutical Research Computing Center, and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. The session will demystify how to access clinical data, administrative claims data, and other secondary data sources at UMB.
To view all activities, check out the schedule of events.
