I have been thinking about how different people interpret data differently. And made this xkcd style graphic to illustrate this.

At a given moment, there must be a finite but unknown (and varying) amount of COVID-19 virus in existence. Given that it’s physical, it must weigh something. Informed ballpark as to its weight? @edyong209?

Microbusinesses around the world are showing us their determination and telling us about their plans for the future. This resilience is what the entrepreneurial spirit is all about!
In support of everyday entrepreneurs, we surveyed small businesses in 10 countries and found that while 2020 will continue to be a difficult year, 7 of 10 expect to recover within a year and 63% expect to grow by 25% or more by 2025. See the research here. openwestand.org/2020-godaddy…

It's super important we understand the microbusiness. Unlike SMBs, they often have 10 employees or less, and if their venture isn’t working out they don’t go away like a larger business would. They adapt, create, and move on to the next best thing. Their resilience keeps us going

I am proud to tell my grad stats class that my 13th grade math teacher said I wasn't "good" in math, to debunk that myth of innate capacity. Instead, I get them to treat it as a new language - it's ok if at first you only learn how to order food. Soon, you'll be writing haïkus!

In our data-driven world, the claim that we don’t have a good way to study something quantitatively may sound shocking. The reality even worse — in many cases we don’t even have the vocabulary to ask meaningful quantitative *questions* about complex socio-technical systems.
