Description

Most people are aware of how to find open-source datasets using Kaggle and Google:
Kaggle Datasets: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets
Google Dataset Search: https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/

But there are also interesting repositories of scientific experimentation data, for example:
Harvard Dataverse: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/
University of Michigan's ICPSR: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/
