I used to be quite active on that one bird social network until that one guy purchased it, and then I removed myself from it. From those days, I remember learning a lot from many other folks, many of them in a different field: economists, sociologists, environmental scientists, statisticians, humanities scholars, etc. but also from policymakers, people who were in tech or in many other industries. I am opening this account with the hope of recapturing that experience. #introduction
