Secret Science Club presents Data Scientist & Author
Seth Stephens-Davidowitz on Everybody
Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really
Are, THURSDAY, May 25, 8PM @ the Bell House, FREE!
The traces of our private thoughts are everywhere online.
What we won’t share with our friends and loved ones, we just might ask Google about. The patterns of billions of searches (for
information, mates, etc.) suggest a fascinating
idea: the internet may be the ultimate truth serum.
Using data from
Google, social media, dating, and even porn sites, data scientist and author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz asks: How much sex do people really have? What can
Google searches tell us about racism
in America?
What do people actually care about during elections?
Are boys and girls treated equally
by parents? What should you say on a first date if you want a second? Which of their own body
parts intrigues men most?
The results
of Stephens-Davidowitz’s
deep data dives reveal insights into the human psyche that are by turns surprising, dismaying, funny, and
disturbing.
