Seven months have elapsed since I last posted to this blog. What's happened?
Well, there have been several hundred page visits (not several thousand or million).
The universities who showed initial interest somewhat stole away in the night. One (actually two, in partnership) would LOVE to work on this problem with some graduate students, PROVIDED I'd pay for the work. Right...
Meetings in Washington D.C. were encouraging several times, but no follow-up occurred. After a series of attempts to follow up, I quit chasing each of those trails for the moment.
I do include one slide in most of my "innovation denied" talks--that is the Big Data slide which shows the rising number of COPD deaths, and the correlation between smokers and lung cancer, alongside the remarkably NON-CORRELATED COPD rates.
Most of these audiences, primarily high-tech managers, seem properly impressed, without any means or apparent interest to go chase this problem.
As for InnovaScapes Institute, we ourselves are busy with other projects too. Perhaps, though, we could put together a small monograph regarding Big Data?
