Big Data Does Not Equal Big Knowledge

… the life science Big Data scene is largely Big Hype.

The Central Role Of User Experience Design In Scientific Modeling

Data is not knowledge. Data can reveal relationships between events –

All Big Data is equal, but some Big Data may be more equal than others

It’s often widely assumed that decisions made by algorithms are more “neutral” and “fair” than those made by people.
