Today I was mocked as not really having influence as a #DataManagement professional because “most of her followers are astronauts, not data people”

That’s not true. Not even close.

But WTAF is that a problem?

I know a Cosmonaut and a Astronaut that work in #Data these days.

All #SpaceExploration is about data collection.

@psb_dc I just don’t understand. I had one tweet RTed by NASA. It ended up with 2 million impressions. It was about data.

@DataChick I think some people are just insecure … and petty.

@DataChick like how do they think Mission Control even works?

@absolutspacegrl I think they believe crewed expeditions are just “cruises”.

@DataChick I swear at least 50% of my time was analyzing data - and I don’t mean scanning the data in front of me, I mean “pulling” data sets, zooming in, constantly checking that I wasn’t missing a tiny leak somewhere because of a minor change in Tank Pressure. Loved it tho. Couldn’t get enough. I crave all the data lol

@DataChick What was their definition of a data management professional? Someone who only speaks in jargon with other professionals? With no business knowledge?

@sheridh I have no idea.

@DataChick Well that's a new criteria. Who needs a degree (or experience). Just gather enough followers in a particular field, and presto! You are an expert. Now excuse me. I have to go convince a bunch of brain surgeons to follow me.
