# Communicating about Data | ||
|
||
## | ||
|
||
<br> | ||
|
||
### Data is a set of *variables* that capture various aspects of the world {style="text-align: center;"} | ||
|
||
<br> | ||
|
||
### It also contains *observations* over those variables {style="text-align: center;"} | ||
|
||
## | ||
|
||
<br> | ||
|
||
### Data can seem neutral, but it is always generated by humans {style="text-align: center;"} | ||
