As a grad student on a never ending quest for the best datasets for research projects and analyses, I’ve often find myself yearning for a more streamlined approach to looking for data. Which is why I was super excited to read about Google’s Dataset Search Service. Check it out: https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch, or read more about it on The Verge.

This is great news for research and academic communities, and I’m happy it’s come just in time for me to write my thesis 😉
