💡5 Lessons from a Year in Data💡
How do you stay motivated when there’s always more to learn and be confident in what you do?
"Starting something new, especially in a field as extensive as data, forces you to confront not only what you do not know, but also what you thought you did."

✨ “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
For many young girls, the answer could be scientist, engineer, or #data leader - if they’re given the chance to explore early.
When girls are encouraged to follow their curiosity in #STEM, the results ripple far beyond the classroom.

We’ve joined forces with @kpmguk.bsky.social to advance capabilities in detecting, analysing, and responding to malicious #cyber threats.
#Cybercrime is estimated to cost the UK £27bn per year and cyber incident investigations are typically time-consuming, resource-intensive, and heavily manual.

🔧 Turning GPS Security Trackers into Transport Insights
(And what it taught us about e-cargo bikes in the suburbs)
E-cargo bikes have big potential to cut car use—especially in suburbs. But to make smart infrastructure or policy decisions, we need to know: where do these bikes actually go?
