<span style="background:white">“How Can I Trust Anything? Transfer Functions, Calibration, and the Art of Uncertainty”. How can one trust a measurement? How can you compare data from two different environmental sensing systems that are halfway across the globe
from each other? Worse still, how can you trust a comparison made between two systems measuring the same thing in two different ways? In this talk, we’ll cover calibration, traceability, punk rock, heavy metal, and the closed form solution to the critical
density spatial sensor distribution problem (spoiler: there is none)!</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
