Descended from wolves, you say?

We know that the policy landscape is often iterative and doesn't always cite in a 'traditional way' - so how can you use the data to track your influence, create impact narratives and identify policy-policy pathways?

We took a look at a few approaches, check it out 👇

Politics impacts policy - sounds obvious right? But beyond party ideology, what are the other factors that affect what and how legislation gets made? We used the Overton Index to understand more 👉 https://t.co/2NxtSSj44V

What is academic-policy engagement? We define it as the interaction between the academic and public policy communities which aims to increase the use of research evidence and expertise in policymaking. In reality, it means all of this! ⤵️

@ZJAyres I have pomodoros and "estimated time" assigned to some tasks, so I can make a game of it and see how much I can hammer through in half an hour etc :)

[Kat Hart 🌍🏞 @KatHart04]

@ZJAyres Personally a big fan of Notion - there's loads of ways you can customise it (e.g. using project databases to create prioritised to do lists which automatically updates each day). Also MindView has been useful, as has a digital notetaking device (expensive, but super helpful!)

I'm gonna explain to y'all why Britain considers 78°F/25°C hot. I know hot because I grew up in Texas and spent half my life in Las Vegas. So I am absolutely qualified to explain this to the rest of you who laugh at UK "heat waves".
