Folding Data #7

Does anyone else get frustrated when people use the words "analysis" and "insight" interchangeably? Yes, we want organizations to be committed to data-driven decision-making, drawing upon actionable insights to move the business in the right direction. But sharing a great dashboard isn’t providing valuable insight - it is a powerful analysis that can speed up your insights.

That said, all the buzz around NASA’s InSight featured in the interesting read below makes me forgive all the weird insight puns as we find out what’s inside Mars. Now that’s a cool data project!

An Interesting Read

InSight is the ultrasensitive seismometer on the surface of Mars, recording data on all the ‘marsquakes’ and what it tells the scientists about the composition of the planet. Not only do we now understand more about Mars, but experts can also update their theories about the formation of all rocky planets. With data only available from a single location, it’s intriguing to see just how much, ahem, insight the scientists could draw from their analysis.
