Oh, and I managed to get an isochrone map of the commute from St Helens into a Santa Fe Institute publication. If you want to know why that's relevant, you'll have to read my chapter! doi.org/10.37911/97819…

New book chapter in The Economy As A Complex Evolving System IV. It's about how data science/AI can help policymakers understand increasingly complex economies. Whole volume is treasure trove and it's 2026, so all chapters are gold open access! sfipress.org/books/eecs-iv

Full disclosure: I was part of the panel that chose this award, and gave some comments on this post before it went out. I'm also a massive fan of what this team has achieved!

4. Siloes are underrated! Coordinating with anyone with an interest in data linking would have slowed things down by years + ballooned budgets. Better to have agility, lower costs, & success even if at the cost of some duplication. All lessons for making gov more efficient!!
