In this episode, we’ll explore the great lengths people travel to collect a single data point. Between the door-to-door surveys of the U.S. Census, to the mountain treks for community health workers, and then to NASA’s satellites hovering more than 600 km above the earth– we’ll learn just how far data collectors go, and the many issues they deal with along the way.
Chief of Quality Assurance, Steve Klement, gives us an inside peak of how the U.S. Census gathers, protects, and hides your personal information.
Meryn Robinson of Dimagi tells us why community health workers trek over mountains and cross raging rivers to collect information on pregnant moms.
NASA oceanographer Gene Feldman shares why he needs a satellite in space to measures microscopic organisms in the ocean.
