Q: How do these this feel as principles for a roadmap, please?

1. The roadmap is a guide to what we are doing and what we plan to do next, it is not a commitment from the team to deliver something in a set timeframe with a set outcome.

There have undoubtedly been some difficult days recently but today I got to sign an agreement between @DataSciCampus and the Namibia Stats Agency @namstatsagency to jointly explore using #DataScience to improve stats on deaths and births, and isn't that just really exciting!?

We've turned temperature data from the UK's recent record-breaking heatwave into sound.

The louder/rougher the tone, the hotter the temperatures - ranging from 11C (52F) at night to a new record high of 40C (105F) on 19 July 2022.

Keeping cool in the heat today with a refreshing bag of [checks label]... fizzy cola bottle flavour crisps.

They're like someone melted cheap cola bottle sweets on to stale cheese and onion crisps.

This would be my third pack in a week.
