All things science are related to Star Trek In some way or another. Many people in science say they were inspired to pursue science as a career because they were inspired by ST. Nichelle Nichols was an ambassador for NASA, and personally inspired minorities and women to pursue science.

So, data and ST will always be related, because if it weren't for ST, a lot of that data wouldn't even exist, because the people who created that data may never have gotten into STEM careers.
