I’m on the lookout for a new contract (preferably inside).

I’ve got over a decade of experience working in the public sector, mostly in agile delivery management. Two weeks notice.

Not got DMs here but Signal is zuz.1337, or LinkedIn is good.

Thx :)

Stop what you're doing and go buy a copy of The Cords debut album, chock full of jingly-jangly riffs, soft harmonies, la la las, and enough 80s indie nostalgia to storm to the top of the Festive Fifty.

COME TO OUR CONFERENCE!

Lots of people work on medicines data: researchers; but also "medicines optimisation" teams, using data to directly improve NHS care; and teams who build data tools. These clans rarely meet... Until now! Join us, Dec 10th, in Oxford.

every team should have a little bit of internet to call their own, where they can publish texts, images, ideas, experiments, etc

it doesn't sound like a lot to ask.
