DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: The Data Struggle of the Unseen\n\nDespite several 
 proposed roadmaps to increase representation in scientific research\, most 
 of the world's research data are collected on selected populations. We rely
  on summary statistics from dominant groups and then devise clever statisti
 cal methods to transfer/transport them for cross-ancestry use. In this talk
 \, I would first argue the obvious: for building fair algorithms we need re
 presentative training datasets. As public health statisticians\, our job is
  not just to predict\, but to prevent.  However\, till we have reached the 
 dream of representative big data at a global scale\, statisticians have an 
 important role to play. In fact\, we have the perfect tools to study the "u
 nobserved" through modeling of missing data\, selection bias and alike.  I 
 will share examples from my personal journey as a statistician when doing g
 ood and timely statistical work with imperfect data (such as data from obse
 rvational patient care databases) quantified important scientific observati
 ons. I will conclude the talk with a call to arms for statisticians  and co
 mputational scientists to not just develop new methods but also lead effort
 s for creating\, curating\, collecting data and pioneering new scientific s
 tudies\, stepping outside their comfort zones.
