    Hi,

    I am an 8th grade math teacher in Massachussetts. I am working with my science teacher colleagues to build an interdisciplinary math/science capstone project. We would love to use your cartoon “Opinions are good, Data is better) as part of our “Data Collection” title page. We would be handing the packet out to our students this year, and hopefully in following years as well.

    Thank you,
    Elizabeth

    These cartoons are great – convey compelling and instructive messages succinctly. I would like to use some of them in my class/seminars with due credit to the cartoonist and the source. Thanks. Keep it up. I look forward to interesting cartoons on not only on big data but also on related topics such as the Internet of Things, Analytics in the Cloud, Data quality,, and value of (big/small) data,

    We are developing a social analytics tool and write many articles about Big Data – I would love to be able to use your cartoons in our posts and to post them on my social media networks as needed. We will be doing an eBook and might want to use them.

    ,Having said all of this, we have a team of writers who create articles for big brands, there may come a time where they might want to use one of these cartoons – please let me know if this is ok.

    Last but not least, I may ask you to create some original cartoons for us or our clients in the future, is this something you might be interested in?

    Thanks,

    Jan
