Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.

It began with a heart attack 🧵

We should refer to this period in history simply as “The Circumstances.”

@JoWolffBSG Six addresses, four cities, two countries. I've got at least two more moves on the horizon (I'm 24)

@DMReinerCamb @Wharton @UniofOxford That would, as you put it in class, require fluency in both Math and English. Unfortunately, both seem to be in short supply!

something slightly lighter—we looked at newspaper adverts from the 1918 Spanish flu provided by @myheritage. the basic advice back then was to wash hands/wear masks/avoid crowds, and businesses quickly cottoned on to people's fears. sound familiar? https://t.co/Z2QriwS4Ob

Europe‘s new approach to industrial policy is a clear response to boost its increasingly lagging homegrown innovation in the face US and China’s ever growing industrial power @TechPolicyMPhil #techpolicy19w8 https://t.co/j7moXalTnx

A great example of how unethical practices in the age of big-tech and 'targeted' advertising are as difficult to spot as they are to combat, especially with the legal ambiguity in this space #techpolicy19w7 @TechPolicyMPhil

Nationalisation as a political tool isn't new, but a successful attempt will require public-private partnerships that aren't constantly attempting to sabotage each other. Can the UK learn from other countries' mistakes?

The year is 2192. The British Prime Minister visits Brussels to ask for an extension of the Brexit deadline. No one remembers where this tradition originated, but every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.

[Pranjali @PranjaliGup]

Increased interaction between the three has given us hybrid institutions, eg: tech parks, incubation centres. As nodal distinction blurs in the age of global govt + univ cooperation, maybe it's time to rethink the model. #techpolicy19w5 @TechPolicyMPhil

What often goes unsaid in the big tech vs antitrust debate is that laws need to adapt to effectively regulate newer models of innovation. Big tech cannot continue as they are, but vilifying them isn't the answer. @TechPolicyMPhil #techpolicy19w4

The constant "widening" of the Overton window is a sign that a linear window might not be the most accurate measure of public discourse in a world of echo chambers and social media bubbles. @TechPolicyMPhil #techpolicy19w3
