Disruption of outdoor activities caused by wildfire smoke shapes circulation of respiratory pathogens

Younggeun Yoo

PhD Student
University of Chicago

We needed granular, longitudinal data to trace residential property transactions, without it, we'd be stuck with aggregates and proxies. I'm grateful my institution invests in a Dewey subscription. It's the kind of infrastructure that turns a good research question into a publishable answer.

University of California, Los Angeles

The Dewey Data platform is extremely intuitive, and its off-the-shelf commercial data is easily integrated into complex data science pipelines. Working with some of the spatial data through providers like Advan Research has been refreshingly easy!

Sensitive places, persistent violence: Effectiveness of “Bar Ban” laws in reducing gun violence near alcohol vendors

Coady Wing

Professor
Indiana University

The Dewey platform bundles several proprietary datasets that would be quite expensive to license individually, which makes exploring alternative data sources much more practical for researchers. The platform has a number of other datasets I'm looking forward to working with — government procurement contracts and mobility data, in particular.
