We are generating vast amounts of data, but it’s not the data itself that is valuable—it’s the information and knowledge that can come from this data. However, we’re limited in translating this sea of data into discovery and solutions, because we lack a diverse set of people with the skills, perspective, and access to work effectively with data. Tracy Teal explains how to bring people to data—rather than just bringing data to compute or compute to data—and empower them to address their questions, reach their potential, and solve issues that are important in science, scholarship, and society.
