We are having a breakfast meeting with Anders Olof Larsson! Anders will give a talk about one of his research projects where he uses data from APIs, that are then processed in R and Tableau. This talk will be quite interesting for those who are interested in journalism studies and political communication, and how data analytic tools can be used to supplement research.
