DSxHE does many wonderful and delicious things, but some of its greatest things will happen through the DSxHE Themes. Themes come in all shapes and sizes (and anyone can apply to create and run a new theme!). In short they are bundles of activities around a common interest, some do events, some write academic pieces together, some run software projects.

We've so far soft launched 5 themes (Genomic Data Diversity, Infectious Diseases, Social Determinants of Health, Standards for Health Data Equity and Statistical Methods) and we're now ready to introduce them properly to the community. Come along to learn more about DSxHE, exactly what our themes are, and how you can get involved :)
