@statsgeekclare I think you are doing an amazing job Clare, consistently... while dealing with a huge amount of pressure!

Thank you @RobGMacfarlane & @JackieMorrisArt for the wonderful present a little girl and her father will open on Christmas Day, this very odd year. Those words will be safe with them, as wildlife already regularly sits on him ~ DIY decorations with robins on cones from 🇳🇴 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@stats_andy @UKGSS Thanks for being such a legend @stats_andy, so impressed with all your knowledge and energy... who knew that delivering induction courses can be so much fun?! ... and I had no idea that lower league football could be so interesting...

@UKGSS We are on the 25th now?!

Disturbingly the world community of geeks can't seem to decide whether to use the hashtag #WorldStatisticsDay or #StatsDay2020 .

This reminds us of the importance of data standards - something the very amazing Florence Nightingale championed.

[James Tucker @ONSJames]

National #Data Strategy published today, great to see a central role for @ONS in the implementation 👍 https://t.co/eZlGuREaGb

In the Govt Data Quality Hub (DQHub) we'll be focusing on helping to join up data across govt, among many other things!

Found the #EatOutToHelpOut site a bit annoying, in that it didn't have a map so you didn't really know where places were.

So decided to make a map version.

It is hard to think of a more relevant read in these surreal times we’re all trying to navigate than @vivek_murthy’s book. “The story of loneliness is a hopeful story, revealing the power of human connection and its extraordinary power to heal deep traumas.” #genuineconnections
