My skills are strongly in the direction of "design, build, and operate a test lab that will be used to automate collection of high quality datasets relevant to the problem of interest". Whenever I've tried to actually use existing data to attack the problems I'm most interested in the fundamental problem is that data that is comparable between different labs doesn't exist. And to avoid any confusion, I'm not saying it doesn't replicate, just that it's not easily comparable, like if you want to know what platinum catalysts will do over an alkene but the data you can find was done in a batch reactor with 22nm platinum and you're using a continuous flow reactor with 10nm platinum. And it's usually worse than that once you include how it's supported, what flow rates were, heating profiles, etc. It just goes on and on if you don't do it yourself.
