They say lightning never strikes the same place twice... but what does the data say?

Ever wonder if all those widely accepted "truths" about the world are actually true? In this myth-busting session, we'll leverage public datasets and Hex to challenge common beliefs about everything from human behavior to scientific "facts." We'll do a live walkthrough of he entire process: finding the right data, cleaning it up, analyzing it to separate fact from fiction, and making results easily available to explore and use.

We'll tackle myths across crime, sports, society, and of course, lightning, using real data from crowdsourced and government sources. By the end, we'll have set the record straight on those "truths," and you'll have learned new ways to explore data and make it friendlier non-data folks to engage with.
