Seeking treasure in a mountain of data Rob Mitchell talks to a scientist who loves solving mathematical problems. Streams of data collected from dairy sites around the country, detailing many years of mind-boggling production outputs. Solving that puzzle meant collating and analysing tonnes of data from multiple plants and many years of production. Little by little, their work is chipping away at that mountain of data, revealing that potential treasure at its core. So when she's not deep in numbers and data, Irina likes to ditch the computer and lab work and head for the hills.
