S1. Ep.3. Values and technology

In this episode, we dive into the principles and practicalities behind period tracking and how we can better equip ourselves to protect our data.

I talk to Iris Muis from the Data School of the University of Utrecht about how developers can translate values into technology. She points to practical resources that can help make sure our technology is aligned with what we find important.

During my time at the CPDP conference I was lucky to cross paths with Julia Krämer, a researcher from the Erasmus university in Rotterdam. We talk about the ways apps can track us. She walks us through a number of steps we can take in our everyday lives to be more cautious about our data.
