Analysing lots of data.

Kind of study we call social data science.

I thought that would be under social studies or medicine or math (statistics) and not part of the computer science department

I did a degree that was “social data science” and we were part both of the computer science and the social science department, so to me it isn’t shocking a study like this might be attributed to the computer science department.
