Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reason I spend so much of my time doing science is that the whole point of science is to help people resolve conflicting claims by saying: 'Show me the data.'
Most decisions don't require extensive research.
People believe the best way to learn from the data is to have a hypothesis and then go check it, but the data is so complex that someone who is working with a data set will not know the most significant things to ask. That's a huge problem.
The answers to today's most important scientific, business, and social problems lie in data.
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Despite the value of open data, most labs make no systematic effort to share data with other scientists.
I'm not just a scientist.
It is crucial for scientists to be willing to be wrong; otherwise, you might not do the most important experiments, or you may ignore your most important findings.
You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment.
We don't have enough data about how lifestyle decisions impact our health.
