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.
